JetFil® M550

Sold by Magris Performance Materials

JetFil® M550 is a high-purity, platy, ultra-fine talc, which is recommended for improving stiffness, HDT, and dimensional stability in polymers. It can be used in polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC-based applications to achieve maximum stiffness at loading levels up to 40% or higher. JetFil® M550 is available in densified form to improve feeding, enhance extrusion throughput, and reduce dusting.
