    Features & Benefits

    Product Advantages

    The CastReady product range is ideally suitable for direct mechanical processing on two-component (2K) machines.

    • Ready-to-use dispersion of catalyst for the anionic polymerization of ε-Caprolactam
    • Homogeneous solid mixtures with a long shelf life
    • Useable with different mashine technologies - RIM or T-RTM
    • Short cycle life feasible - highly cost effective usage

    Applications & Uses

    Product Uses
    • The reactivity of the polymerizing melt is influenced by various factors (temperature of the melt and mold, moisture).
    • We recommend an Addonyl® CR ACTIVATE concentration of at least 1:1 by weight with Addonyl® CR CATALYZE .
    • The caprolactam melt containing the activator is susceptible to oxidation.
    • Thus, we recommend working under inert gas.

    Processing temperatures:

    • Melt: 110 - 130 °C
    • Mold: 130 - 160 °C
    • Recommended Dosage: 1 part Addonyl® CR CATALYZE and 1 part Addonyl® CR ACTIVATE
