Additives for Liquid System for Plastic Compounds

Gardobond® Additive H 7488 distributed by DKSH is an additive used as wetting agent during the PET recycling process. It is based on a special blend of surfactants with a high wetting power and a high affinity with plastic material.

• It is able to lower the solid-liquid surface tension and to optimize the floating process between PET and PE/HDPE.
• In this way any air bubbles deposited on flake surface are removed allowing the complete wetting of the substrate.
• It possesses the ability to inhibit foaming and can be used in a wide range of temperature.
• Gardobond® Additive H 7488 is available in Malaysia.

Ken-React® KR® TTS supplied by FARRL is a titanate product based on titanium IV, class monoalkoxy, with isostearoyl functionality. It has low viscosity and solid content of min. 95%. It helps in adhesion promotion, coupling and dispersing of substrates (inorganics, organics, pigments, fibers, etc.), rheological adjustments of the base resin and filled systems, corrosion inhibition and improved acid resistance, improvement of flame retardants, metallocene-like catalysis and hydrophobizing of fillers and pigments in a wide range of applications. It is also available as dry-liquid powder under the name Ken-React® CAPOW® KR® TTS/H for powder-based productions and as pelletized masterbatch under the name Ken-React® CAPS® KR® TTS/L for productions based on pellets. Ken-React® KR® TTS is used in the processing of elastomeric, thermoset and thermoplastic polymers. The product has a shelf life of minimum 3 years after production. FARRL is the exclusive and authorized distribution and technical advisory service partner for Germany, Austria and all EU-CEE countries.

HORDAMER® PE 02 by BYK is a wetting and dispersing agent for thermoplastic color masterbatches. It is a primary polyethylene dispersion containing an anionic emulsifier. It is used in the underwater pelletizing of thermoplastic granulated material (TPE, TPU, EVA) and forms a protective layer covering the granules, thereby generating non-sticking and free-flowing granulated materials. Recommended dosage level is 0.2-5% additive (as supplied) based upon the amount of water in the cooling circuit. HORDAMER® PE 02 is listed in REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, EINECS, TSCA, DSL, AICS, PICCS, IECSC, ENCS, NZIoC and ECSI. It complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS 2), EU Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE), EU Directive 94/62/EC (Packaging Waste), CONEG Toxics in Packaging, Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 , USA 21 CFR 177.1520 ‘Olefin polymers’ and China GB9685-2016, table A.1 ‘Plastics’. It has a shelf life of 15 months.

Indulin™ AT distributed by DKSH is a purified form of kraft pine lignin. It is completely free of all reducing sugars and is ideal for use in a wide range of polymeric applications where solid dispersants or adsorption properties are required. Indulin™ AT is available in Europe region (Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania, Portugal, Poland, Norway, Netherlands, Italy, Israel, Hungary, Greece, Germany, France, Denmark, Czech Republic, Croatia, Bulgaria, Belgium, Austria, Australia).

Licowax® OP powder distributed by DKSH is a partly saponified ester wax of montanic acids. It is used in masterbatch & compounders and polymer producers. Licowax® OP powder is available in APAC region (South Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand).

Ceridust® 9615 A distributed by DKSH is a slip and rub resistance additive in all kind of printing ink and coating systems. It is a micronized blend of polyethylene and amide wax. It is used in masterbatch, compounders and polymer producers. Ceridust® 9615 A is available in APAC region (Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam).

Epodil® 746 by Evonik is an aliphatic glycidyl ether, specifically 2-ethylhexyl glycidyl ether (EHGE). It is monofunctional and reduces the viscosity of epoxy resin systems. It causes molecular weight chain termination, the minimum amount necessary to achieve the desired viscosity reduction should be used. Possesses improved flexibility. Used in laminates and potting compounds. Epodil® 746 is particularly useful where low volatility levels are required so that problems in poorly ventilated areas are minimized.

MARK IC 2052 by Raj Speciality Additives is wetting- and dispersing agent. It is designed for PU system, epoxy resin, UV system, PVC plastisol and ambient curing resin system. Recommended usage level is 20% based on organic pigment, 5.0% inorganic pigment and 1.5% titanium dioxide.
