BYK-MAX P 4102

BYK-MAX P 4102 by BYK is a combined processing additive for the use in polyolefins to improve the dispersing of pigments and mineral filler. It increases the throughput and reduces the viscosity & filter pressure value. It is a solution of a hydroxy-functional carboxylic acid ester with pigment affinity groups. It adsorbs on the surface of the fillers and pigments, therefore bringing about optimum processing and dispersion during extrusion. It improves the torque build-up, throughput, viscosity (MVR), filter pressure value (FPV) and dispersion quality. It is particularly recommended for filled thermoplastic compounds and color masterbatches based on PE and PP, but also for ABS, PA and PVC. The recommended level for mineral fillers is 0.25-2%, for inorganic pigments is 3-15% and for organic pigments is 10-30%. It is suitable for food contact plastics, Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 Olefin polymers. The shelf life of BYK-MAX P 4102 is 36 months.
