MT-200 – A New Plastic Additive for Improving Filler Dispersion

MT-200 is an aqueous-based additive that enhances the dispersions of various fillers when added to polyolefins (e.g. PE, PP, polystyrene).

Addition of MT-200 results in the following advantages;

  1. Higher filler loadings can be achieved which in turn can
    a) improved properties such as stiffness, modulus, etc.
    b) allows for more expensive plastics to be replaced by highly filled lower cost alternatives (e.g. filled PP for ABS)
  2. Enables lower filler loadings
    a) lighter weight
    b) enhanced physical effects more efficient use of the filler
  3. Active at low ppm levels (e.g. 500-1500 @20% filler, 6000-8000 ppm @40% filler)
    a) no effects on plastic properties
    b) no effect on fillers

Improved dispersion quality/uniformity
