Use: The MBD 40161 is mainly used during the extrusion of blown film in LDPE to improve the surface appearance and decrease the phenomenon of "orange peel". It works by creating an interface between the melted polymer and the metallic surfaces of the extruder barrel and skirt. The usual recommendations are the following ones : Having made sure that all metallic surfaces coming in to contact with the polymer are thoroughly cleaned, start in low speed by adding 10% MBD 40161 and 90% base polymer. After 20 minutes adjust the extruder to full operating output speed and reduce MBD 40161 to 1 or 2 %. Exact quantity depends on machine and polymer type. A polymer containing antiblock or pigments is more abrasive, so more masterbatch is needed. This procedure of starting up must be realized after a prolonged interruption of the extruder, or after a purge with an abrasive compound. MBD 40161 is not recommended if the temperature > 240°C
