Key Properties

GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS does not contain any thermoplastic resin as a carrier but some quantity of fumed silica instead. Fumed silica as a constituent of the pelletized formulation does not show any adverse effect in the application when used as a compounding additive in thermoplastic systems to impart benefits such as processing improvements and modification of surface characteristics.

Processing Information

GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS is an additive specifically designed for the compounding and masterbatch industry. Suitable equipment for compounding comprises twin-screw extruder, co-kneader, and batch-mixer. Because of its high thermal stability, GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS can be applied over a wide temperature range, up to 300 °C (570 °F). Compounding and subsequent processing conditions are determined by the thermoplastic resin GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS is added to. For the compounding process, GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS can be added at the feeding zone of the extruder either as pre-mix together with the resin polymer pellets or via separate feeding unit; it can also be added via side-feeder. It is recommended to avoid pressure when feeding GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS which may result in deformation of the pellets.
