BYK-MAX CT 4255 is a type of inorganic filler designed as an additive for thermoplastic compounds to improve mechanical properties such as tensile strength and gas barrier properties. Depending on the type of gas, it can reduce permeability by up to 40%. Due to its unique organic modification, it exhibits high thermal stability during processing.

BYK-MAX CT 4260 improves flame retardant properties by promoting dripping suppression and char formation, making it suitable for use in halogen-free flame-retardant thermoplastic compounds. BYK-MAX CT 4260 can reduce the amount of fillers such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide. This results in improved processing characteristics and physical properties, as well as a reduction in the weight of the compound. The barrier properties against oxygen, water vapor, and hydrocarbons can be enhanced by using BYK-MAX CT 4260. In bioplastics such as thermoplastic plastics and polylactic acid (PLA), the melt viscosity increases, allowing for improved dimensional stability during extrusion.

BYK-MAX CT 4270 allows for improvements in low density, surface appearance, flow length, dimensional stability, and scratch resistance by being added to TPO or polyolefin compounds in amounts of less than 10 weight percent, preferably less than 6 weight percent. It also enhances mechanical properties such as tensile strength. The intended applications are inorganic fillers or glass-filled compounds for TPO-based automotive parts. Unlike other commercially available clay products, BYK-MAX CT 4270 is based on mixed-form clay technology, which facilitates easy dispersion. The organic modification of BYK-MAX CT 4270 is designed to withstand thermal history in the compound. Our proprietary mixed-form clay exhibits excellent dispersibility. Additionally, changes in melt rheology can improve flow length within the mold and reduce resin temperature, leading to shorter cycle times. In composite formulations, a resin-rich surface is often observed. While increasing tensile strength, it is important to note that BYK-MAX CT 4270 may reduce impact strength. To avoid this, a comprehensive evaluation of the entire formulation is necessary. Blending with impact modifiers in the base resin is crucial for achieving the final performance results.

Features of BYK-MAX P 4200: - Retains water in the PP carrier through BYK's unique technology - Forms microbubbles that are wet with VOCs and odor components during the extrusion process, which are released through vacuum degassing - Easy to use without the need for capital investment! Features of BYK-MAX OR 4207 / BYK-MAX OR 4206: - Masterbatches containing adsorptive components of OR 4207 (PP carrier) and OR 4206 (PE carrier) - Effective against odor components such as acids, sulfur-based, and nitrogen-based - Recommended to be added during compounding, but also effective when added during drive blend in injection molding

BYK's scratch-resistant additive solution - BYK's unique scratch-resistant additive is particularly effective against scratches - Compared to erucic acid, there is less bleeding

BYK's additives for thermoplastic resins solve the scratching issues of automotive interior materials such as instrument panels, consoles, and door trims, as well as exterior materials like bumpers and hoods!

For example, BYK-MAX LS 4125 provides excellent weather resistance for thick PP and PE molded products, as well as for relatively large surface area products such as films, fibers, and tapes. The stabilizer formulation containing high concentrations of HALS not only suppresses the photodegradation of the material but also acts as a radical scavenger, peroxide decomposer, and reaction inhibitor. BYK-MAX LS 4125 protects against UV rays for an extended period. BYK-MAX LS 4125 generates no dust and is safe and easy to handle.
