Organic modified layered silicates (clay materials) that impart reinforcing effects to thermoplastic compounds.

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.

Non-halogen flame-retardant thermoplastic plastic flame retardant additive. Layered silicate (clay) filler that improves gas barrier properties.

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.

Organic modified phyllosilicate (clay) fillers that improve the mechanical properties and gas barrier performance of thermoplastic compounds for applications such as films and automobiles.

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.

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to express my congratulations on the continued prosperity of your company. Thank you very much for your exceptional support. We would like to inform you that our company will be closed for winter holidays during the following period. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and kindly ask for your understanding. 1. Winter Holiday Period From Thursday, December 28, 2023, to Thursday, January 4, 2024. 2. Business Operations After the Winter Holiday Period We will resume normal operations from Friday, January 5, 2024.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.
