BYK-MAX P 4104

BYK-MAX P 4104 by BYK is a safe, easy to handle, dust-free, granulated, VOC-free, processing additive for use in polyolefins. It lowers the viscosity of the polymer melt during processing by reducing friction between the melt and the metal surfaces of the processing equipment, thereby increasing production efficiency. The product also reduces adhesion and melt fractures. It can increase throughput by 10-30%. The product reduces cycle time during blow molding, reduces surface defects, improves surface properties, and can lower the processing temperature, thereby also reducing energy consumption. It supports a more homogeneous layer thickness and reduces the yield stress, the die swell and melt pressure. Also, can support quicker color changes and thereby minimizes waste and production disruptions. There is no blooming and no negative impact on printability or heat-sealing properties. It consists of non-adhesive granulates. The recommended level is 0.8-2% additive (as supplied) based upon the total formulation. The additive can be added via volumetric or gravimetric dosing units during processing in all extruders, blow molding and injection molding machines. BYK-MAX P 4104 is recommended for cast & blown films based on PP, HDPE and LLDPE, pipes, wires and cables, blow molding and general extrusion applications. The shelf life of this product is 12 months. It complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.1520.
