PerformanceModifiers for Polypropylene
DeltaMax™ PerformanceModifiers areafamily of masterbatch
products designedforusein injection molded applicationsof
virginpolypropylene impact copolymers and recycledpolypropylene
resins.While polypropyleneis a cost-effectivematerial, it is
limited withrespect to providing a balanceof high impactwith
stiffnessandmelt flowmakingit difficult tocost-effectively
formulate, design,andprocessparts. This is particularly the casefor
recycledpolypropylene resins,which typically lack highmelt flow and
impact properties required formany injection molded
applicationswithinconsumer,industrial, andautomotive markets.
DeltaMax PerformanceModifiers maximizethe physical properties
and processability ofpolypropylene in away that transforms
thevirgin and recycled PPmarkets. The technologyenablesconverters
to enhancethe impact andmelt flow of their ICPor rPPresinsby adding
amasterbatch at injection molding machine-side.Thenet effect is the
ability to designparts withhigher impact and thinner profiles,
runmachineswith faster cycletimes or lower temperatures,reducethe
useof costly impact modifiers,and reduce inventory of multiple
ICPresins.Additionally, DeltaMax PerformanceModifiersallow for the
useof recycled PPat equal orbetter performance levelscomparedto
virginresins.This createsanopportunity to improvethe circular
economyandpromotes moresustainablemanufacturing practices.
