Thermoplastics
Special features and benefits
Thermoplastic granulated material (TPE, TPU, EVA) tends to compact and cake under pressure and heat. HORDAMER PE 02 is used in the underwater pelletizing of such materials and forms a protective layer covering the granules, thereby generating non-sticking and free-flowing granulated materials. Unlike the commonly performed dusting of the granulate materials using solid release agents (chalk, talc), significantly lower quantities are needed, which, therefore, avoid an impact on the properties of the thermoplastic material. The generation of dust during processing is also eliminated.
Recommended levels
0.2–5% additive (as supplied) based upon the amount of water in the cooling circuit.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. The optimum dosage should be determined by application-related test series.
Incorporation and processing instructions
The additive is added directly to the circuit water. If foaming occurs in the circuit water during the underwater granulation, we recommend defoamer BYK-023 (silicone defoamer) at a dosage of 0.05–0.1%.
HORDAMER PE 02
Special features and benefits
HORDAMER PE 02 is a wax dispersion that can improve mixing and compounding in the manufacturing of color masterbatches. This results in better dispersion, better color properties, and a lower filter pressure value.
Premix:
Adding up to 8% to the premix reduces the formation of dust during processing and helps to limit the free flowing effect of organic pigments during the mixing process, which leads to greater shear forces and a better pre-dispersion.
Extrusion:
During extrusion, the finely dispersed wax particles ensure good wetting and thus prevent compaction. The torque build-up, throughput, viscosity (MVR), filter pressure value (FPV) and dispersion quality are improved.
Recommended use
HORDAMER PE 02 is suitable for dispersing solids in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP).
Recommended levels
Organic pigments: 5–8% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation in a standard-color masterbatch with up to 40% pigment content.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. The optimum dosage should be determined by application-related test series.
Incorporation and processing instructions
Do not use with components that are sensitive to the presence of water (e.g. polyester) or in machinery that does not have adequate degassing vents.
Care Products and Polishes
Special features and benefits
HORDAMER PE 02 is compatible with all known polymer dispersions and plasticizers. The product provides good protection against heel marks (= black heel resistance), reduces dirt pick-up and shows good fill capacity.Blending HORDAMER PE 02 with polymers in a ratio of 3:1 (solid wax to solid polymer) particularly emphasizes the fill capacity and the dirt-repellent effect. Mixing at a ratio of 1:6 increases the water and alcohol resistance, scuff resistance, and black heel resistance.
Recommended use
HORDAMER PE 02 is used in self-shine emulsions, wax cleaners and emulsion cleaners.
Recommended levels
5–10% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. The optimum dosage should be determined by application-related test series.
Incorporation and processing instructions
The wax additive is preferably added after blending the polymers with the plasticizers and water, however prior to the incorporation of surfactants while stirring.
