Products in Fuel Systems: Processing Aid

Vitrolite® is a naturally occurring mineral and with concentrations of less than 0.5% has a profound effect on polymer melts. Vitrolite® is effective in reducing polymer melt viscosity without adversely affecting the finished polymer mechanical properties. Vitrolite is not known to chemically interact with polymers or additives, and has been widely used in the polymer industry. It is not essentially inert but it is stable (millions of years in age) and does not change its effect upon multiple uses (e.g., compounding followed by molding).

Vitrolite® is manufactured from naturally occurring amorphous silicates and aluminosilicates and is non-toxic, inert, non-flammable, and does not affect UL approvals. Vitrolite® is suitable for all products including electrical, food contact, and medical devices. It is currently used as a processing additive for molding auto parts, food containers, consumer electronics, toys, wire and cable, pipe and a host of other products.

Mediaplast EV/F is an effective processing aid for the treatment of very sticky polymers, mainly EVA compounds. EVA types with a vinyl acetate content of more than 40 % tend to stick to open mills, internal mixers and even extruder screws.

Pertac/GR is a multifunctional process aid based on 1.2-polybutadiene converted into free-flowing granules.

Dispergator FL plus is a development based on Dispergator FL which has been used successfully for many years in rubber industry.

Mediaplast AT is a very effective process aid to improve flow properties and to reduce the tackiness of rubber compounds regardless of the polymer used. Processing of CR and ACM compounds in par-ticular is significantly improved by adding a small amount of Mediaplast AT. It improves the demolding properties of technical rubber parts. The sticking of uncured compounds to internal mixers, open mills and conveyor belts will be visibly diminished by the use of Mediaplast AT.

MoldWiz® 3IMR - A non-silicone process aid additive for use in all types of rubber processing which eliminates the need for any external release agent minimizing mold and machine cleaning time. Facilitates processing by increasing the flow characteristics and lubricating qualities of the rubber formulation without affecting it’s mechanical properties. The cured product can be readily glued, bonded, coated, etc. and there is no exudation or deterioration after prolonged storage. There is an increase in elongation percentage and tensile strength with many formulations.

Haftolat or the dry form, Haftolat/P, are very effective process aids produced from EPM rubber. I

Kettlitz-Dispergator FD is a highly effective processing aid for compounds in alimentary contact. It has been developed referring to the regulations of FDA and BfR XXI (former BGVV resp. BGA regulation). It is a combination of zinc salts and hydrocarbons in surface active agents.

Mediaplast WH-P is a Processing aid and homogenizing agent with non-staining properties in order to improve the stickiness of synthetic rubber compounds. Especially in NBR, EPDM, SBR and EVA the application of Mediaplast WH results in shorter mixing times and better homogeneity.

HP 55 - A lubricant/homogenizer combination which improves the mixing behavior of rubber compounds and promotes dispersion of reinforcing materials such as carbon black. Benefits have been found in the tire industry, particularly where solution SBR and NR are used.

Dispergator KB contains 25 % more active material and less moisture than Dispergator DS. It fa-vourably can be used in all rubber compounds which are intended to be cured by UHF, LCM or hot air. It also has good compatibility with most polymers.

Haftolat or the dry form, Haftolat/P, are very effective process aids produced from EPM rubber. I

Dispergator OX is a Polymer- and water-free granulated processing aid, suitable for all natural and synthetic elastomers, and especially helpful in polymer blends. Dispergator OX is particularly recommended for pressureless continuous curing processes, as it con-tains no moisture.

Mediaplast WH is a Processing aid and homogenizing agent with non-staining properties in order to improve the stickiness of synthetic rubber compounds. Especially in NBR, EPDM, SBR and EVA the application of Mediaplast WH results in shorter mixing times and better homogeneity.

Dispergator FL is a very effective and multi-purpose processing aid for the use in natural and synthetic rubber. Dispergator FL is generally used to improve rubber compound flow and extrudability for the production of profiles, hoses and technical rubber parts. By using Dispergator FL an economical production of high quality products is possible.

Kettlitz-Dispergator SI/GR is a new generation of processing aid based on a silicone combination. The proc-ess aid has been developed especially for EPDM and EVA compounds to improve processability.
