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
- Compatible Polymers & Resins
- Plastics & Elastomers Processing Methods
- 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
