| ‘Performance Plus™ reduce cycle time, energy use, scrap Ampacet Corporation has extended its line of Performance Plus™ color and additive masterbatches for use with engineering thermoplastics, including nylon, polycarbonate, ABS, styrene acrylonitrile and polyester. These masterbatches increase productivity in injection molding and extrusion by 15 to 20 percent compared to those containing conventional pigments and additives. By improving processability, Ampacet's Performance Plus™ color and additive masterbatches reduce unit conversion costs and energy use, and often decrease scrap generation. Performance Plus masterbatches are formulated to lower resin viscosity during processing and improve pigment and additive distribution. The lower viscosity allows injection molders to shorten cycle times by processing at lower temperatures and permits extrusion processes to be sped up. The improved pigment and additive distribution results in the production of more consistent parts and reduced purge times. Performance Plus masterbatches are not reactive or toxic, do not migrate, and are safe in all forms of use. They are effective in both unfilled and filled engineering thermoplastics. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
