Ampacet Develops New Plastic Masterbatches for Packaging Materials

Ampacet Corp. of America has developed a dry masterbatch Ampacet 101499 for PE packaging films. The desiccant can react with the water molecules entering the membrane and fix the water molecules. The use of this desiccant can extend the shelf life of foods, pharmaceuticals, and other products that need to prevent moisture damage. This material can be used for translucent, opaque LDPE and LLDPE film materials. It can also be used for blow molding and pouring of multilayer films. Through the federal government food contact materials regulations guidelines. This product can save raw material costs, and its recommended usage is 1% to 3% according to the waterproof requirement.

The company also developed Ampacet 102286, a polymerization inhibitor for LLDPE film materials that improves transparency and lubricity. Currently, inorganic anti-agglomeration additives used in LLDPE membranes generally increase the haze of the membrane. This also requires the addition of a further anti-reflection agent. In addition to the transparency of the polymer matrix material, this Ampacet 102286 additive can also improve other materials. performance. The company claims that they have tested and found that this new type of additive can increase the clarity of polymer matrix materials by 65% ​​and gloss by 50%. The active ingredient of this plastic masterbatch is an inorganic polymerization inhibitor. Its particle size distribution is narrow and spherical. It does not increase the haze of the composite material. The particles have small pores and will not adsorb other additives. Product purity High, can also increase the transparency of LLDPE materials. In addition, the material can improve the lubricity of the material and prevent agglomeration, which can save production costs. The material can also increase the crystallization temperature of the LLDPE film, thereby increasing the processing temperature of the LLDPE film, increasing the gloss of the LLDPE film, reducing the grain size, and improving the consistency of the grain size. The company's plastic masterbatch material can also reduce the film's resistance to shrinkage, and the film made from this product will not produce odors. The company also manufactures masterbatch products for ABS, SAN, nylon, PC, amorphous PET and other engineering thermoplastic resins for the manufacture of extruded and injection molded products.
