An innovative lubricant designed for PC and PC/ABS alloys is said to increase the melt flow index and elongation, and to improve dispersion and compatibility. Flow Improver ST-PA208t is the latest addition to the portfolio of specialty additives offered by CAI Performance Additives, the sole distributor in North America for a broad portfolio of high-performance additives produced by China’s Starbetter Chemical Materials.
ST-PA208 reportedly enables higher loading content and offers comprehensive performance that is much better than EBS (ethylene bis stearamide), silicone, Montan wax, and other traditional lubricants. The additive is finding wide use in PC, glass fiber/filler/fire retardant reinforced PC, and PC/ABS alloys.
The rate of loading for a plastic material is a key component of how we perceive its performance.
In consumer goods markets, there are countless applications for clear plastics such as copolyesters, acrylic, SAN, amorphous nylon, and polycarbonate.
PET is extremely hygroscopic, highly moisture sensitive, and one of the toughest challenges to dry. Here are the basic principles of doing it right for rigid packaging applications
