DETACK Prime Polymer
Prime polymer is uniform in size, free of fines or cross-contamination and flows smoothly throughout storage and transportation. Meeting these expectations is becoming more challenging as the marketplace demand is trending toward low density, low crystallinity, high melt flow index and high co-monomer content plastics. Sticky grades can tax your ingenuity to manufacture and supply as prime product.
Nalco Water’s DETACK for Polymers is revolutionizing plastics manufacturing and compounding. Through a chemical treatment program – no equipment modifications, no capital investment – many of the problems associated with sticky polymers are solved.
