Thixotropic Agents for Plastic Compounds

FilmLink® 520 by Imerys is a treated ground calcium carbonate promotes breathability in plastic films for sanitation products. It also acts as a dispersing and thixotropic agent in breathable polyolefins. It is recommended for applications such as diapers, feminine hygiene products or roofing films and personal protective equipment (PPE). It improves mechanical, rheological, optical & dispersion properties and reduced waste. FilmLink® 520 provides high brightness, high opacity, good color, controlled surface treatment to reduce volatile effect and defined particle size distribution for good properties.

FilmLink® 400 by Imerys is a treated ground calcium carbonate promotes breathability in plastic films for sanitation products. It also acts as a dispersing and thixotropic agent in breathable polyolefins. It is recommended for applications such as diapers, feminine hygiene products or roofing films and personal protective equipment (PPE). It is designed for high moisture vapor transmission rate films. It improves mechanical, rheological, optical & dispersion properties and reduced waste. It provides high brightness, high opacity, good color, controlled surface treatment to reduce volatile effect and defined particle size distribution for good properties.

Hubercarb® Q3T by Huber Engineered Materials is a fine ground calcium carbonate-based filler. It acts as an extender, gloss control agent, anti-slip additive, rheology modifier and densifier.

• Produced at huber’s quincy, Illinois plant which is known for its natural uniformity.
• Possess consistent purity and brightness.
• Its particles are processed with a proprietary fatty acid based surface treatment.
• Hubercarb® Q3T is recommended for pipes, conduit, PVC compounds and plastic applications.

Glycerol tri-(12-hydroxystearate). A wax like compound obtained by the controlled hydrogenation of pure castor oil. Acts as a processing aid, release and thixatropic agent. A hard, brittle, high melting point wax that is insoluble in most organic solvents but is highly compatible with most resins and waxes. Used in lubricants, rubbers as well as in plastics.

Hydrophilic fumed silica. Acts as anti-settling, thickening, anti-sagging and thixotropic agent. It is a kind of synthetic amorphous, nanoscale silicon dioxide with BET surface area of 300 m²/g. Has high transparency as well as rheology and thixotropy control. Possesses reinforcement with unique features of particle size, high purity, aggregated structure and low bulk density. It improves free flow and suspension. Used in fine chemicals such as RTV silicone rubber, HTV silicone rubber and unsaturated polyester etc.

XYSIL® 150 by Henan Xunyu is hydrophilic fumed silica. Acts as anti-settling, thickening, anti-sagging and thixotropic agent. It is a kind of synthetic amorphous, nanoscale silicon dioxide with BET surface area of 150 m²/g. Has rheology and thixotropy control with improved free flow and suspension. Possesses reinforcement with unique features of particle size, high purity, aggregated structure and low bulk density. XYSIL® 150 is used in fine chemicals such as RTV silicone rubber, HTV silicone rubber and unsaturated polyester etc.

Hydrophilic fumed silica. Acts as anti-settling, thickening, anti-sagging and thixotropic agent. It is a kind of synthetic amorphous, nanoscale silicon dioxide with BET surface area of 200 m²/g. Has high transparency as well as rheology and thixotropy control. Possesses reinforcement with unique features of particle size, high purity, aggregated structure and low bulk density. It improves free flow and suspension. Used in RTV silicone rubber, HTV silicone rubber, PVC and unsaturated polyester resins. Can also used in thermal insulation material, solar diaphragm cell, composites.

Synthetic, hydrophilic amorphous silica, produced via flame hydrolysis. It acts as a thickening and thixotropic agent in many organic systems, e.g. in unsaturated polyesters and others, if high gloss and transparency is required. Appears as a white colloidal powder of high purity. It is used as a reinforcing filler in elastomers, mainly silicone-elastomers. Its good dispersion is a must to assure optimum performance. It has a shelf life of at least 24 months when stored in unbroken original packaging in dry storage areas.
