Shanghai, China - The Huntsman Functional Products business unit has developed an advanced additive technology that is specifically designed to enhance the surface energy and polarity of thermoplastic polyolefins, including polypropylene. This technology product - ELASTAMINE® XPM additive will Introduced at the China International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition in late April, this is a new technology that can enhance the coatability of polyolefin surfaces.
Thermoplastic polyolefins are widely used in the automotive, packaging, and electronics industries, but their surface energy is low and hydrophobic, and special coatings and treatments are required for the development of some products. Thermoplastic Polyolefins Adding ELASTAMINE® XPM Additives to Polyolefins The surface is expected to be able to dispense with primer treatment, thereby saving the time and cost of the plastics manufacturer. In addition, it coincides with the idea of a more streamlined, more efficient manufacturing process that can make the production process more efficient.
The introduction of Huntsman's ELASTAMINE® XPM additives will lead to a wide range of interest from polypropylene compound manufacturers, car bumper manufacturers, automotive OEMs, home appliance OEMs, and plastic packaging companies.
At this China International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition, Huntsman will hold a special demonstration on this new technology, giving visitors the opportunity to learn more about Huntsman's ELASTAMINE® XPM additives.
