Polymer Additives

Micronized polymer additives are fine powders or particles of polymers that are typically reduced to a micron-scale size. Here are some common types and functions of micronized polymer additives.

Impact Modifiers: Micronized polymer additives can improve the impact resistance and toughness of plastics, making them suitable for applications where high strength and durability are required. These additives are commonly used in the production of engineering plastics and automotive parts.

Reinforcement: Micronized polymers can be used as reinforcement fillers in rubber compounds and plastics to enhance mechanical properties like tensile strength and tear resistance. They are often added to achieve improved dimensional stability and reduce shrinkage in molded parts.

Thermal Insulation: Micronized polymer additives with low thermal conductivity can be used in insulation materials to improve thermal insulation properties, particularly in construction and building materials.

UV Absorbers and Stabilizers: Micronized polymers can be formulated with UV absorbers and stabilizers to protect plastics, coatings, and other materials from UV degradation and improve their weather resistance.

Flame Retardants: Micronized polymer additives can serve as carriers for flame retardant chemicals, making it easier to incorporate flame retardancy into various materials, including plastics, textiles, and coatings.
