Family of Polymeric Masterbatches with High Mechanical Properties Produced in Iran
‘Pooya Polymer Tehran’ company made the products which are high-density polyethylene-based masterbatches modified by well-dispersed oxide nanoparticles for obtaining favorable mechanical strength and flexibility.
Using nanoparticles with different concentrations into the polyethylene matrix has led to improved shear strength, hardness, and flexibility, increased elongation at failure and impact strength and decreasing the tensile strength as an unfavorable side effect.
The polymeric masterbatches can be used in fabrication of containers to hold liquids like milk, water containers, kitchen's polymeric instruments, fuel-storing containers, tubes and joints.
Earlier this month, an Iranian company had also produced a special anti-block masterbach which contains nanoparticles and is based on polyethylene.
‘Baspar Pishrafteh Sharif’ company has made the product in which the added nanoparticles act as lubricant to facilitate the separation of polyethylene-based surfaces.
It enjoys favorable strength, formability, and low density, deserving to be used in packaging.
The masterbatch can be used in nylon packaging, beverage container, kitchen appliances, fuel containers and tubes and joints.
Masterbatch (MB) is a solid additive used for coloring (color masterbatch) or imparting other properties (additive masterbatch) to plastic.
