Springfield Industries SP-6201 is a solid epoxy containing aramid fiber at 20%concentration by weight. Consisting of coarse granules SP6201 can be easily fed into many mixing processes including twin screw extruders. Considered a master-batch, SP-6201 is generally used as a thixotropic viscosity modifying agent in single component heat activated formulations. It provides compounds with a high degree of shear thinning behavior. It also provides excellent and highly efficient flow control with minimal effect on adhesion attributes.
