Fields of application: Imparts processing improvements and modified surface characteristics for extruded and injection molded articles made from polyolefins, polyester, and other polymers Examples: Films, sheets, garden furniture, automotive compounds, compounding / compounds with high mineral filler loadingsMode of action and advantages: ADD-VANCE SA 390 provides excellent slip properties. ADD-VANCE SA 390 reduces friction between the polymers and processing equipment. A thin film is formed on the surface of the finished products and this film provides slip and antiblocking performance Advantages: Highly effective, very long lasting slip properties, already at low dosing rates; Scratch resistance improvement for soft polymers. For example, the scratch resistance of talc-filled TPOs is significantly improved, weathering resistance is increased and visible whiting (under stress) is suppressed; Improved demoulding and product release; Improved processing and flow; Reduced energy consumption; Reduced waste production; Non-toxic, non-corrosive and thermally stable (> 300°C); Non-sticking pellets, dust free; Safe and easy handling Regulations: ADD-VANCE SA 390 complies with the directive 2002/72/EEC for food approval. The active ingredient in ADD-VANCE SA 390 complies with FDA 21 CFR § 177.1520 Olefin polymer Former ADDCOMP product line, acquired by BYK. |
