As of 1 January 2014, Mayzo Inc. and Lehmann&Voss&Co. agreed on joint marketing of the masterbatch for polypropylene process optimisation within Europe.
"Thanks to the use of these additives, material weight savings of up to 15 % and in addition reductions in cycle time of up to 25 % can be achieved," explained Torsten Clasen, masterbatch team head and project manager for this product at Lehmann&Voss&Co., adding, "and all of this with unchanged product quality and stability."
The additive batches of Mayzo Inc. intervene in the solidification properties of polypropylene, changing its crystallinity and as a result the characteristics of the finished product. The result is greatly enhanced toughness and flexibility with only a slight decrease in rigidity. At the same time a lower melting point is achieved, which has a positive effect on the ability to weld and form polypropylenes.
As a result, it is for example possible to produce very thin-walled and uniform, breathable films in the BOPP process. Additional foaming of the film through chemical or physical blowing agents can be dispensed with.
