Plastic lubricant – Hyper C100 resin

Thread Content

Introduction: The Hyper C100 resin, a new global product with a \"super-branched\" structure, was developed by Wuhan Super-Branched Resin Technology Co., Ltd. Its “super-branched structure” enables it to penetrate into the interior of molecular chains, reducing the forces between them and facilitating rapid movement of those chains. At lower heating temperatures, it can coat the surface of the pigments like glue, enabling effective dispersion of the pigments ； The melt viscosity is extremely low, similar to that of water; this allows for a significant reduction in the processing temperature required for plastic processing, an increase in the melt index. It also enables the use of larger amounts of fillers to reduce costs, while eliminating phenomena such as \"shark skin\" and floating fibers. It facilitates injection molding of thin-walled parts over long distances, and it exhibits good compatibility with crystalline, semicrystalline, and amorphous polymers. Its comprehensive performance is superior to that of traditional resins such as cyclic bisphenol A (CBT) resins and dendrimers, which have single-performance characteristics. Basic physical properties: It is a translucent solid with a density of 1.1 g/cm3, a melting range of 140–200°C, and it is non-volatile. Performance features: At lower heating temperatures, it enhances dispersion and results in a richer, more vibrant color ； Low viscosity increases the melt index, reduces processing temperature and current (saving energy), allows for higher filler usage to lower costs, and reduces plastic surface cracking and the \"shark skin\" phenomenon, thereby improving product quality ； Non-volatile and environmentally friendly. Application areas and advantages: (1) Pigment dispersant. As a dispersant for pigments (red, orange, yellow, black, blue, purple, etc.), it enables the creation of masterbatches with excellent dispersion properties by requiring only 0.2–1.0% of the amount of this additive; as a result, the colors obtained are vivid and more realistic. (2) A very small amount of blended rheology modifier can significantly improve the fluidity and melt index of the resin, with almost no effect on its mechanical properties ； It reduces the energy consumption associated with blending and increases production capacity; it can also reduce the current by about 20% or lower the processing temperature by 10–20°C, resulting in significant savings in energy use. C100 is blended with polyolefins (PVC, PP, PE, PS, etc.), polyesters (PBT, PET, PC, PCT, etc.), PA, acetals (POM), PPO, PMMA, TPU, ABS, SAN, PEI, PSU, as well as alloys (PC/ABS, PC/PEI, PC/PBT, PC/PET) to improve the compatibility between the pigment and the resin ； Modifying these materials with C100 (addition amount: 0.2–1%) can significantly improve fluidity, with almost no effect on mechanical properties ； Even with enhanced engineering plastics and the addition of C100, it is possible to easily achieve thin-walled, long-shot injection molding. Adding C100 to transparent matrices such as PET, PP, and PE has no adverse effect on the transparency of these materials; for example, adding 0.3–1% of C100 to PC or PET significantly improves fluidity without affecting transparency. (3) The plastic filler additive Hyper C100 boasts strong wetting and filling capabilities as well as low processing viscosity; it can be used both as a carrier for masterbatches and as an additive in them. C100 has excellent compatibility with various fillers (calcium carbonate, talc, wollastonite, silica powder, glass microspheres), fibers (carbon fiber, glass fiber), stabilizers, flame retardants, release agents, and pigments, and it exhibits strong wetting ability toward them ； C100 is suitable as a variety of highly filled, easily dispersible masterbatches, and can effectively suppress the \"shark skin\" phenomenon in materials with high filler content. Adding 0.5–1% C100 to plastic formulations allows the filler content to be increased by about 10%, without the occurrence of a \"shark skin\" effect on the surface. Recommended processing parameters: (1) The processing temperature for C100 is 140–320°C. (2) When C100 is used for blending modification, processing is carried out at a temperature 10–20°C lower than the original processing temperature. (3) When C100 is used for filler modification, a low feeding speed should be set at the beginning ； After continuous discharge, the feeding speed can be increased, the extrusion temperature can be reduced, the viscosity of the material can be increased, and shear and mixing can be enhanced. (3) When C100 is used for pigment dispersion, it can be dispersed together with the pigments in a ball mill or a plastic extruder. Application example: HyPer C100 improves the flowability of nylon-66/fiberglass. Composition: PA-66 – 50 wt%; PA-66 + fiberglass – 50 wt% + 1.0 wt% CBT; 50 wt% PA-66 + fiberglass – 50 wt% + 1.0 wt% HyPer C100. Melt index (275°C/2.16 kg): 9.0 g/10 min, 17.0 g/10 min, 30.4 g/10 min. When 1.0% of HyPer C100 is added, the melt index increases from 9.0 g/10 min to 30.4 g/10 min, representing an increase of 237.78% ； When the same amount of CBT100 was added, the melt index was 17.0 g/10 min, indicating that the performance of HyPerC100 resin is significantly better than that of CBT100 resin. Precautions: (1) Storage: Store sealed at room temperature ； Keep away from dust, water, oil, organic solvents, etc. (2) Note: When the processing temperature is below 180°C, C100 does not need to be dried ； When the processing temperature exceeds 180°C, C100 must be dried to prevent hydrolysis. (3) Drying conditions: Dry at 60–80°C (make sure it does not exceed 100°C, otherwise sticking may occur), for 12 hours ； Before use, the dried C100 should generally not be exposed to air for more than 30 minutes.
