Agent strengthens goods without adding weight

摘要

Milliken introduced during NPE2009 a new reinforcing agent, Hyperform HPR803, designed to offer comparable performance but lower weight compared to competitive mineral fillers such as talc. Johnny Netzloff, global marketing manager-Hyperform at the company, told MPW during the show that processors using the material on a test basis so far have been able to replace up to 30% talc with only 5-10% of this material and achieve comparable or better results in their final parts. Weight reduction in polyolefin parts can be as much as 15%.
