It is an inorganic chemical based masterbatch used in plastic industries to modify various properties of the base plastic or plastic polymers.
Fillers are important additives, inexpensive, inert, inorganic materials that simply add bulk to the plastics. The most common minerals used as fillers include calcium carbonate, talc, silica, clay, mica, kaolin, calcium sulfate, glass fibers, glass beads, alumina trihydrate and wollastonite.
PTMB reinforcing agents are based on long and short glass fiber that improves processing of PP, PC, Nylon and other polymers to enhance various property.
PTMB have developed a special masterbatch that enhances the impact properties of plastic containers. It also allows the use of higher amounts of mineral fillers in Injection, Blow, Film & Raffia application without compromising on impact properties and tenacity. It will help prevent cracking and splitting while increasing a product’s ductility.
Nucleating agents are chemical substances that are added in plastics to form nuclei growth of crystals in the polymer melt. Nucleating agents promote the crystallization of semi-crystalline polymers.
Anti-sink masterbatches work on the principle foaming agents. It is very effective for removal of sink marks from plastics products surfaces. It is mainly suitable for big parts application. It is also helping to minimize the warpage of plastics parts.
Electret masterbatch is used to improve the melt blown non-woven fabric to store static electricity, so that it can absorb dust, bacteria, viruses, aerosols and other harmful substances in the positively charged air, thereby improving the filtration efficiency of the melt blown non-woven fabric.
Metals can accelerate thermal oxidation of polyolefins and related plastics such as PE, PP, PVC & EVA which leads to degradation due to copper, iron or pigments containing this substance.
It is used to form an inactive complex with the catalytically active metal ion. Thus, complexation of the metal with the chelating agent prevents metals from associating with hydro-peroxides, i.e., it decreases its ability to produce radicals from hydroperoxides by oxidation or reduction.
