Product overview
POLYGOLD® Desiccant are advanced compounds designed to absorb moisture and prevent hydrolytic degradation in plastic processing products. Certain virgin & reprocessed polymers are highly susceptible to moisture absorption, which can reduce molecular weight, cause brittleness, degrade mechanical properties, and affect processing like extrusion, injection molding, or blow molding. anti-moisture compounds incorporate moisture-absorbing additives into a polymer carrier to maintain the quality, performance, and durability of the final product.
Key Features & Benefits
- Moisture Absorption: Actively removes moisture from polymers during processing, preventing hydrolytic degradation.
- Improved Mechanical Properties: Maintains tensile strength, impact resistance, and elongation by protecting polymer chains from moisture-induced breakdown.
- Enhanced Thermal Stability: Prevents viscosity reduction and degradation during high-temperature processing.
- Process Optimization: Reduces issues like bubbling, voids, splay marks, or poor surface finish caused by residual moisture.
- Increased Shelf Life: Ensures long-term stability of pellets and compounded resins before processing.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduces reprocessing, scrap rates, and quality loss during manufacturing.
