Shine Polymer, a leading manufacturer of innovative polymer additives, has developed a remarkable solution to address the challenges faced in the thermoplastic industry. The Shinepoly® Anti-Dripping Agent, a heat stabilizer for soft plastic, is designed to enhance the flame retardancy and surface quality of molded parts, empowering manufacturers to meet stringent industry standards and deliver high-quality products.
Addressing the Limitations of Conventional PTFE Powders
In the thermoplastic flame retardancy testing according to UL94 V1 and V0, the cotton indicator should not be ignited by the flaming particles and drops. Traditionally, PTFE fine powder has been used in FR formulations to improve the anti-dripping property. However, the virgin PTFE fine powder can be challenging to handle during the manufacturing process, and agglomerated PTFE can cause dispersing problems in the compounding stage.
Innovative Encapsulated PTFE Technology
Shine Polymer’s Shinepoly® Anti-Dripping Agent is an encapsulated PTFE solution developed through a patented in situ polymerization process. The optimized shell material of this heat stabilizer for soft plastic offers excellent dispersion in various thermoplastics, including PC, PA, PPO, PBT, ABS, HIPS, PP, and their alloys.
Consistent Flame Retardance and Improved Surface Quality
By utilizing the Shinepoly® Anti-Dripping Agent, manufacturers can achieve consistent flame retardance performance and a smoother surface finish on their molded parts. The enhanced dispersion of the PTFE ensures uniform distribution, eliminating the risk of inconsistent flame retardance and rough surface textures that can result from poorly dispersed PTFE.
Conclusion
Shine Polymer’s Shinepoly® Anti-Dripping Agent represents a game-changing solution for the thermoplastic industry, addressing the limitations of conventional PTFE powders and empowering manufacturers to meet stringent flame retardancy standards. By leveraging the innovative encapsulated PTFE technology and the enhanced dispersion properties of this heat stabilizer for soft plastic, Shine Polymer helps its customers achieve consistent performance and superior surface quality in their molded products.
