CAI Performance Additives Unveils Epoxy Chain Extender for Virgin & Recycled Materials

-

CAI Performance Additives announces the launch of the latest product, ST-CE37, a polymeric epoxy functional chain extender for both virgin and recycled materials needing help to meet performance and process requirements.





Improving Viscosity Characteristics of Polymers:

This innovative additive significantly improves viscosity characteristics, mechanical properties, and inhibits the hydrolysis of polymers such as PA, PET and other polycondensation resins.


ST-CE37 chemistry beats competitors given its innovative reactive side chain, so the chain extension is much easier for the host polymers to ‘find’ during compounding.


The commitment to provide innovative solutions for the plastics industry, and the introduction of ST-CE37 is just one example of their dedication to deliver superior products that meet the evolving needs of the customers.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio
