Axel additive improves process gains

A new process additive from Axel Plastic Research Laboratories Inc. has demonstrated significant process gains for resin compounders and pigment masterbatchers, the company reports. In a recent evaluation, MoldWiz INT-40DHT was credited with improving processing throughput of a 75-percent-filled thermoplastic olefin by 48 percent. The product, available as a 100-percent active powder or pellet, is comprised of saturated and unsaturated fatty esters and modified organic acid derivatives meeting standards making the additive suitable for use in compounds having food contact.
