WARADUR® OPplus is suitable for engineering plastics, thermosets, PVC, etc. WARADUR® OPplus is extremely versatile and suitable for a wide range of plastics applications as a multi-purpose additive. The use of WARADUR® OPplus can lead to the following positive effects in the processes compounding, injection molding and extrusion/blow molding:
- Reduction of mold temperature in injection molding Reduction of melt temperature (compounding, injection molding, extrusion/blow molding)
- Increasing injection speeds in injection molding
- Realization of higher filler contents under the same processing conditions
- Realization of long flow paths
- Easy processing in tools that implement very different component thicknesses
- Improvement of the surface quality of injection molded parts
