Applications

JetFil® H290 used in wood plastics composites (WPC) to:

  • increase modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, and HDT
  • reduced water diffusion, weight gain and swell in water, loss of elasticity and rupture modulus in moist environment
  • improve warpage, creep, and elastic recovery
  • improve processing efficiency
  • JetFil® H290 can be used as a flux for high alumina ceramics and sanitary ware. JetFil® H290 is an excellent fluxing and processing additive for brick, clay pipe, roofing and floor tile manufacture, and low iron content makes it the appropriate choice for better firing color performance.
