In the "2008 Second Plastics Additives Seminar and Supply and Demand Fair", Akzo Nobel's performance-enhanced EXPANCEL beads, Honeywell's new high-performance lubricants, and Ciba The successive exhibitions of innovative functional products attracted the attention of delegates.
AkzoNobel's EXPANCEL beads are small spherical thermoplastic particles composed of a gas-enclosed polymer shell. Has good thermal stability, chemical resistance, elasticity, airtightness and mechanical strength. When the microbeads are heated, the gas pressure inside the shell increases and the thermoplastic shell softens, resulting in a significant increase in bead volume; the cooling beads can make the shell harder again and the slightly expanded microbeads can be used at any time. Microbeads can be widely used in dipping, laminating, coating, spraying, molding, injection molding, matt and non-slip, extrusion and other processes.
Honeywell Launches High-Performance Lubricant Series for PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Extrusion and Meets Customers' Diversified Lubricant Requirements by Providing One-Stop Total Lubrication Solution for PVC Manufacturers To achieve environmentally friendly production. The lubricant series can significantly reduce the melt viscosity and temperature while providing outstanding slide performance, increase extrusion efficiency, reduce scorch, discoloration and precipitation, minimize scrap rate, and improve product surface performance. In addition, this high-performance lubricant can also help manufacturers convert to lead-free PVC processing.
The innovative functional products brought on by Ciba Specialty Chemicals open up new avenues for exploring a new world of efficiency: The main markets for permanent antistatic agents include electronic packaging and transportation, industrial packaging and transportation, mining, and dust suppression; plastics Antimicrobial agents can delay the degradation of materials, inhibit the odor caused by bacterial growth, long-term protection, prevent microbial contamination, prevent cross-infection and value-added end products, in which the inorganic antibacterial agent can withstand processing temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius for consumer goods, industrial products In the field of building materials, etc., halogen-free flame retardant melamine polyphosphate is adapting to the new needs of the electronic and electrical industries.
