- Applications
- Impact modifier for full range of filled and unfilled PC, PET & PBT. Level of improvement obtained is a function of the OPTIM® GE-344 addition level.
- Scrap upgradation of PC, PBT and PC/PBT blends.
- Chemical coupling agent for mineral and glass fillers in PET & PBT compounds.
- Useful for low temperature applications.
- Processing Conditions
- OPTIM® GE-344 can be added to polycarbonates & polyesters to achieve good dispersion of fillers within the polymer matrix thereby obtaining best properties.
- It is recommended to purge the equipment thoroughly after a run is completed as OPTIM® GE-344 tends to crosslinks when kept for long periods at high temperatures.
- Maximum processing temperature should not generally exceed 290°C.
