A useful trial begins before the machine starts. The goal is to evaluate MB-105 Slip Masterbatch under conditions representative of the finished part and leave a record that can be repeated.
1. Document the baseline
Record product grade and lot, resin, recycled content, process, machine, normal temperature, wall thickness, and the visual or functional standard.
2. Confirm the documented scope
Resins
- Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
- Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)
Processes
- Film extrusion
3. Prepare the blend
Measure by weight, use clean equipment, and prevent carryover from the previous material. Retain samples of the resin and concentrate used in the trial.
| Variable | Published reference |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 140–210 °C is the published process range. |
| Dosage or incorporation | 15–20 g/kg in both virgin and recycled resin. |
4. Run a controlled trial
- Stabilize the equipment with the base resin.
- Introduce the blend without changing several variables at once.
- Separate the first transition parts.
- Record every dosage, temperature, or residence-time adjustment.
- Retain identified samples from the stable run.
5. Evaluate and decide
Compare appearance, dispersion, processing behavior, and part requirements against the initial acceptance criteria. When a change is needed, alter one controlled variable per trial.
- Do not extend its use to injection molding, blow molding, HDPE, PP, or PET.
- It provides medium transparency; validate when clarity is critical.
- This grade is not formulated with FDA-approved materials.
