Maxiloop HP7AB4780COM This Gabriel-Chemie compatibilizer masterbatch can be used in recycling applications involving both postconsumer and postindustrial multilayer waste materials or edge trims comprising polyolefins, PE, PP, polyamide (PA) 6, PA66, ethylene vinyl alcohol or PET.
What’s new? The compatibilizer masterbatch, which increases the interfacial adhesion between different polymers, acting as a molecular bridge and ensuring better dispersion of polymer components during processing.
Benefits Easier processing of recycled multilayer materials. By using the masterbatch, recyclers can produce resins that cause fewer extrusion errors, and exhibit enhanced miscibility and improved mechanical properties when used in extruded films. In blown film production in particular, fluctuations and instabilities in the bubble can be reduced, improving product quality.
