SuperBlend®
Ingenia
SuperBlend® products are homogeneous pelletized
formulations of additives in very high concentrations ranging from
50-100% of active ingredients.
These
are unique formulations used to add UV's, slip agents, antioxidants,
processing aids, antistats, nucleating agents and other additives to
various thermoplastics all in one pelletized compound.
Using
proprietary technology, Ingenia Polymers produces four types of
SuperBlend® products to meet the formulation requirements
demanded by your application.
·
Type A is an ultra-high concentration pelletized
blend composed of 50%+ active ingredients in a polymer based carrier.
·
Type B is a melt formulated blend typically
comprised of 100% of active ingredients.
·
Type C is a compacted pellet blend typically
comprised of 100% of active ingredients.
·
Type D is a melt formulated blend typically
comprised of 100% of active ingredients.
Dust Free Polymer Additive Solutions
Use of
SuperBlend® products offers significant advantages for
Thermoplastic Producers and Compounders.
1. Handling
SuperBlend®
pellets are easier to handle than additives in the form of powder,
pastes, or liquids. Typically SuperBlend® products can be
packaged in Supersacs, Boxes, Bags or Drums and in the case of type A, in
Railcars and Bulk trucks. They can be conveyed using pneumatic or
mechanical transfer systems.
2. Industrial Hygiene
SuperBlend® products are designed to eliminate dust
exposure to operating personnel.
3. Safety
Many fine powders present a significant dust explosion risk. Since
SuperBlend® products are dust free, effectively
eliminating the explosion risk during handling.
4. Simplicity of Use
In many cases only one SuperBlend® formulation fed through
one feeder is adequate to provide all additives required. This decreases
the number of feeders required and the associated problems causing
off-specification production. Each lot of SuperBlend® is
certified for individual component concentrations. This permits
simplified quality control of the final product requiring analysis of the
concentration of only one of the ingredients of the blend.
5. Formulation Flexibility
SuperBlend® products can utilize additives from any
supplier as required. Formulations are not limited to any one particular
brand or supplier of additives.
6. Environment
SuperBlend® products offer significant advantages in
maintaining clean, dust-free operations and eliminating fouling and
inaccuracies of feeding equipment.
7. Cost Savings
Substantial cost savings can be achieved as follows:
- Inaccuracies in additive levels are a major cause
of off-specification production in polymer plants. Human error or
deviation of one of many feeders can be the cause of
off-specification production. With the ratio of ingredients
precisely controlled the use of SuperBlend® products, typically requires only one feeder
thereby, reducing the risk of producing off-specification product.
- Precisely controlled formulations allow for
reduced analytical testing costs, as only one component of the blend
needs to be tested to determine the concentration level of all other
additives.
- Less capital equipment is required for feeders,
transfer and loading systems, dust control etc. Cost associated with
purchasing, inventory control and logistics are also reduced.
