• A highly concentrated desiccant masterbatch designed for use with recycling materials as well as for applications sensitive to the effects of moisture.
  
   APPLICATIONS AND USES OF DESICCANT
  
  For economic & environmental reasons, the use of recycled material becomes common in the plastics industry. However, as the quality of the material cannot always be guaranteed, particularly with regard to storage and specification, damp material could be a problem. Moisture in raw materials can have undesirable effects leading to increased scrap levels and loss of production. 
  
  Common effects include porosity, surface imperfections in extruded & moulded articles and windowing/lacing in extruded film. Desiccants therefore become important for processors using recycled material to ensure that production efficiency & product quality are maintained. Using PLASADD® PE8999 is the simplest & most cost effective way to solve moisture related problems.
