DISPERPLAST® -1180

DISPERPLAST®-1180 by BYK is a low-volatile and solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for filled and plasticizer-containing PVC dry blends. During the processing of PVC dry blends, it improves plastification. It offers faster fusion time & gelling speed, better distribution of the melt, increased melt strength and higher filler content possible for given process conditions. It provides reduction of the melt viscosity results in lower thermal stress of the melt and considerably increased melt index (MVR = melt volume rate). It also displays smoother surface (higher gloss) and therefore, improved lamination properties and reduction in the formulation costs possible by using more or coarser filler. Recommended for use in producing calendered and extruded PVC applications, e.g. LVT. The recommended level is 0.3-2% additive (as supplied) based on the filler. It is listed in TSCA and ENCS. It is in line with Directive 2011/65/EU (EU RoHS 2), as amended by the Delegated Directive (EU) 2015/863 (EU RoHS 3), EU Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE), EU Directive 94/62/EC (Packaging Waste) and CONEG Toxics in Packaging. The shelf life of this product is 36 months.
