Anti-fog masterbatch - Fundamental knowledge for using - EuroPlas

What is dew? They are water droplets condensing in the air, dependent on humidity and temperature. Dew condensation occurs when dew particles adhere to the surface of a material.
  The shape of the dew on the surface of the material

The shape of the dew on the surface of the material is estimated as follows:
- Surface hydrophobic material: angle ≥ 90°
- Surface hydrophilic material: angle 0 <θ< 90°
- The surface of the material is completely wetted: angle = 0
- Angle θ : (contact angle) angle made by the surface of the material with the drop of water

3.2. How to avoid fogging on plastic surface

The way to improve the problem of turbidity caused by fog is to change the film, and the plastic surface from hydrophobic to hydrophilic and completely absorbent. As a result, the water will turn thin on the surface of the product.

To do so, we use anti-fog additives. The additive used is a surfactant with one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic end. Some commonly used compounds are GMS, GMO, and Polyglycerol esters (PGE). When using anti-fog masterbatch, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Suitable for conditions of use
- An appropriate amount of use (ensure travel speed)
- Long operating time
- Can be combined with other additives (such as anti-UV, anti-block, and slip additives)
- Does not affect the mechanical properties and color of the product

Effective equipment cleaning

Whether you produce masterbatches of, for example, ABS, PC, or PA, your high-standard products depend on the quality of raw materials as well as the efficiency and quality of the cleaning process between batches.

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from RUNME.

In the past, cleaning products with solvents were used to macerate previous batch contaminants and pigment residue from the mixers. Due to the risk of inflammation and health-related issues, hazardous chemicals are no longer permitted.

Ecotec’s TP132B® Pigment Remover offers you a cleaning product with the ultimate balance of maximum effectiveness and environmental responsibility. As it is water-based, TP132B® is the ideal pigment industry cleaning method for humans and the environment, in accordance with the OECD 301B biodegradability directive.

Before the batch switch, spraying a coat of TP132B® in the mixer, letting it soak for a few minutes, and rinsing your machine is all it takes. The residue cleaning liquid can be treated as regular wastewater. Depending on the pigment color, repeating the cleaning procedure may be required. TP132B® is virtually odorless, inflammable and it does not release any fumes.

The company is the world’s best ABS Water Remover Masterbatch supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
