Applications
Incro Max™ 100 is a unique additive for Polyesters that reduces friction on the polymer surface at very low addition levels. This leads to a range of product and efficiency improvements, such as increased output rate, slip performance, packing and de-nesting, scratch resistance, as well as reduced processing temperature, mold release force (by up to 60 %), and scuff. It can be used to improve product quality and process efficiency in film and sheet extrusion, and injection molding applications.

Mode of Action
IncroMax™ 100 can be dispersed evenly through the polymer in the melt phase. It migrates to the surface of the polymer, where it forms a thin lubrication layer. This layer reduces the coefficient of friction between surfaces and reduces unwanted adhesion.

Benefits

• Improved flow during processing (internal lubricant)

• Reduction in processing temperature and energy consumption

• Improved output rate

• Improved mold release

• Reduction of CoF (high slip)

• No impact on optical clarity

• Scratch resistance

• Composite lubrication

Recommended Polymers

• PET

• PETg

• PC

• PBT

• PLA and its blends

• Other bioplastics

Guidelines for Use
IncroMax™ 100 is an internal additive and can be incorporated into resin as supplied or via masterbatch / preblend.
Typical addition levels: 0.1 - 0.5 %.
