Technical Details & Test Data
- Performance
Why is Huber’s MoldX® P18 Optimized ATH an Outstanding Choice for Pultrusion?
Versatility
The product can be used in all types of pultrusion applications and has the following advantages:
- Lower pull force at 50-75 weight % of fiberglass.
- 25 to 200 phr ATH loading depending on weight % of fiberglass and resin type.
- Either unsaturated polyester or acrylic resins or blends.
- Even at high loadings, compounds have very low pull force.
- Higher loadings with the same or faster line speeds and lower total compound cost.
- Maintains mechanical properties.
Consistency in Manufacturing
- Greatly reduced possibility of die lock-up.
- Reduced sedimentation resulting in less down time for resin bath clean-out.
ATH Settling Behavior in Modar® Fire-Retardant Resin 875 at 25°C
Settling resistance is desirable for pultrusion to allow longer operating times between clean outs.
