- Application Details
- GENIOPLAST® PELLET S is an additive specifically designed for the compounding and masterbatch industry. Suitable equipment for compounding comprises twin-screw extruder, co-kneader and batch-mixer.
- Because of its high thermal stability, GENIOPLAST® PELLET S can be applied over a wide temperature range, up to 300 °C (570 °F). Compounding and subsequent processing conditions are determined by the thermoplastic resin.
- GENIOPLAST® PELLET S is added to for the compounding process. GENIOPLAST® PELLET S can be added at the feeding zone of the extruder either as pre-mix together with the resin polymer pellets or via separate feeding unit; it can also be added via side-feeder.
- It is recommended to avoid pressure when feeding GENIOPLAST® PELLET S which may result in deformation of the pellets.
Additive for:
- Polyolefin compounds
- Engineering plastics compounds
- TPE compounds

- Properties
- When added to thermoplastic resin systems at 0.1 % to 1 %, improved processing and flow of the resin is expected, including less extruder torque, less extruder die pressure, faster throughput, reduction of melt viscosity and better mold filling.
- At higher addition levels, 1 % to 5 %, also improved surface properties are expected, including lower coefficient of friction and greater mar and abrasion resistance.
- GENIOPLAST® PELLET S can also improve burning characteristics of polyolefins when applied in combination with halogen free flame retardant fillers.
- GENIOPLAST® PELLET S is expected to give improved benefits compared to conventional lower molecular weight additives, e.g. less screw slippage, long-term low coefficient of friction, fewer paint and printing problems, and a broader range of performance capabilities.
- GENIOPLAST® PELLET S does not contain any thermoplastic resin as a carrier but some quantity of fumed silica instead.
- Fumed silica as a constituent of the pelletized formulation does not show any adverse effect in the application; it provides general compatibility with thermoplastic resin when used as a compounding additive in thermoplastic systems to impart benefits such as processing improvements and modification of surface characteristics.
