Brüggemann is offering BRUGGOLEN® TP-P1810, a flow enhancer for semi-aromatic polyamides to reduce cycle time during molding. Brüggemann also supplies BRUGGOLEN® TP-P1507 for aliphatic polyamides, such as PA6, PA6.6 and PA12.
Both BRUGGOLEN® TP-P1810 and BRUGGOLEN® TP-P1507 show significant improvement in melt flow while retaining the mechanical properties of finished components. Supplied in pellet form, they are easy to dose and disperse during direct injection molding and compounding.
New Additives Allow Gentler Processing
Trials carried out with RJG Technologies have revealed that BRUGGOLEN® TP-P1810 enabled in excess of 20 percent cycle time reduction during molding and allowed filled compounds containing 50 percent and more of glass fiber to be injection molded into intricate and complex shapes.
During molding tests, the flow spiral of a semi-aromatic polyamide reinforced with 50 wt. percent glass fiber was lengthened by 70 percent at a dosing rate of BRUGGOLEN® TP-P1810 of only 1.5 percent. Much-improved color and appearance of the resultant molded parts are a result of the processing enabled by BRUGGOLEN® TP-P1810. Alternatively, by allowing a 30°C reduction in melt temperature, the additives clear the way to gentler processing and reduced energy consumption.
Dr. Klaus Bergmann, head of polymer additives at Brüggemann said, “
With the continually tightening emissions regulations we are seeing the pursuit for lighter components. BRUGGOLEN® TP-P1810 and BRUGGOLEN® TP-P1507 are key tools to help our customers make this happen.”
