- Processing Methods:Extrusion, Injection Molding
ULTRA-PLAST™ TPO5 is predominantly used as a slip agent in PE-films. This is due to migration and formation of a microscopic coating on the film surface. ULTRA-PLAST™ TP05 shows the same uniform surface coating in injection molded articles, thus leading to improved mold release and surface finish. This is valuable in processing of thermoplastics resins and elastomers (TPE's) and thermoset rubber systems. ULTRA-PLAST™ TP05 also functions as a dispersant in concentrates which leads to easier let-down of the concentrates. ULTRA-PLAST™ TP05 is sanctioned for use by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in a number of applications listed in the sections of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
