POLYONE
Performance additive claimed to significantly reduce cycle times
US compounder and distributor PolyOne (Cleveland, Ohio / USA; www.polyone.com) has introduced “OnCap” CTR, a performance additive that the company claims improves energy efficiency and throughput, effectively increasing manufacturing capacity in injection moulding as well as continuous and intermittent extrusion.
For injection moulding applications, PolyOne says it has recorded 30% or higher reductions in cycle times when using this additive. The company said the additive also improves the consistency, dimensional stability and surface appearance of moulded parts.
The material is now available globally and can be supplied as an additive concentrate or as part of a “Smartbatch” additive in combination with a colour concentrate. The material was launched at “Brasilplast 2011” in São Paulo / Brazil – see Plasteurope.com of 10.05.2011.
