Thermoplastics
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-P 4100 is a surface-active processing additive for use in filled, thermoplastic compounds. During compounding, the additive reduces the required torque. The output capacity and the melt volume rate (MVR) are increased. The tensile strength, E-modulus and notch impact strength are increased in the finished part. The printability is improved.
Recommended Use:- Mineral fillers
- Flame retardants
- Wood plastic composites (WPC)
- Glass fibers HMC
Recommended Levels0.25-2% additive (as supplied) based upon the filler. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions : Ideally, the additive is added at the same time as the liquids, and then the solids are incorporated. Post addition is also possible.
PVC applications
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-P 4100 is a surface-active processing additive for use in PVC plastisols and PVC calender applications.
PVC plastisols:
In PVC plastisols, the additive has very good release properties from gelling drums, release papers, flat screens and molds. It also influences the cell structure of chemically blown foams and improves the resilience and increases the air permeability.
Only specific PVC types are suitable for open cell foams. An open cell structure can only be achieved if the formulation components and process parameters are coordinated to one another. The use of BYK-P 4100 can bring about an increased water uptake.
PVC calender applications:
In PVC calendar applications, the additive has very good release properties during the processing of soft, semi-rigid and rigid PVCs. The printability of the end product is also improved.
Recommended Levels
0.1-3% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation, depending on the desired effect. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions : Ideally, the additive is added at the same time as the liquids, and then the solids are incorporated. Post addition is also possible.
