CAI Performance Additives announced the launch of ST-PA229C™ series of lubricant additives for polyester applications.
ST-PA229C™ outperforms traditional lubricants such as CBT, EBS, silicone, Montan wax, and others in terms of comprehensive performance.
Saving Energy During Sheet Film Production
It is also widely used in PET, PBT, and PET/PBT alloy. One of the unique benefits of ST-PA229C™ is its ability to widen the temperature range where PET crystallization begins.
This can lead to reduced cycle times and energy savings during sheet film production and injection molding. The relatively high glass-transition temperature (Tg) for PET means the resin can be prone to setting-up without appropriate crystals forming.
This can degrade the product performance. ST-PA229C™ can also be used as a multifunctional lubricant and dispersant in PET, PBT, and PET/PBT alloy.
Benefits include:
- Increased melt flow index
- Increased elongation
- Improved dispersion
- Improved compatibility
- Increased loading content
