Handling

For HOT-MELT adhesives ANTIOX AHM-EC2 PELLETS is very efficient at the following concentrations :

• Thermoplastic rubbers, like SIS, SBS (e.g. Cariflex, Solprene, etc.): 1.2-1.5% on rubber content.
• Ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA, type ELVAX, etc.): 0.3-0.5% on EVA content.
• Thermoplastic polyurethanes (e.g. ESTANE, DESMOCOLL, etc.): 0.2-0.4% on PU content.
• Polyamides (e.g. Reammide, Versamide, etc.): 0.5-1.0% on PA content.

For SOLVENT BASED adhesives ANTIOX AHM-EC PELLETS is very efficient at the following concentrations :

• Natural rubber, SBR, chloroprene rubber, polyisoprene, butyl rubber: 0.25-0.5% on dry content.

ANTIOX AHM-EC2 PELLETS can be introduced directly into the compound, together with other recipe ingredients, or predispersed into one of them or dissolved (if it is a matter of solvent). In the hot-melt continuos system (by extrusion process) it is advisable that a liquid component (like liquid rosin esters or naphtalic oil, etc.) is used to give some tack to the surface of granules, in order to have a fair distribution over the total mass. In the solvent systems, one can make a solution concentrate (hexane, toluene, etc.), for example at 5 - 10% of solids.
