Kettlitz Chemie Mediaplast 40

Kettlitz-Mediaplast 40 is a highly effective homogenizing agent consisting of resin plasticizers, which is recommended for the use in polymer blends. Best results are achieved in compounds based on NR/SBR/BR. Besides, Mediaplast 40 is also very suitable for other polymer blends like EPDM/NR.

Functions: Compatibilizer

Compatible Polymers & Resins: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), Natural Rubbers (NR)

End Uses: Housewares, Tires, Tubing

Features & Benefits

Features

The active substances contained in Mediaplast 40 are of liquid form. In comparison to many competi-tive materials Mediaplast 40 will develop its full function immediately after adding it to the compound. The voluminous granule form will guarantee that Mediaplast 40 is dispersed fast and evenly within the compound.

Applications & Uses

Plastics & Elastomers End Uses
Uses

This function can be significantly improved by using a special process aid, e. g. our Dispergator FL or Dispergator FL plus. Due to these unique properties, the energy consumption can be reduced when compounds are produced or processed. By adding Mediaplast 40, the tackiness of the compound increases. When using Mediaplast 40 the physical values, especially the tear resistance, is usually improved considerably.

Dosage

As dosage we recommend 3–5 phr, depending on the filler content. Mediaplast 40 should be added at the beginning of the mixing process, together with the polymers.
