What is it?

AD-317 es un white zinc-derived powder que acts as an internal lubricant, thermal dispersant, and stabilizer for plastics.

It is formulated with high-purity fatty acids.

‍

What is it used for?

  • Facilita el deslizamiento entre polymer y máquina, reduciendo la fricción.
  • Mejora la fluidez del plástico durante processes como injection, extrusion, blow molding and rotational molding.
  • Actúa como neutralizador de residuos ácidos o básicos que se generan durante la polimerización.
  • Ayuda a proteger los molds al evitar que el material se adhiera o genere arrastre.

‍

Plastic resins where it can be used

It can be used with a wide range of plastic resins such as:

  • High-Density Polyethylene
  • Low-Density Polyethylene
  • Linear Low-Density Polyethylene
  • Polypropylene
  • General-Purpose Polystyrene
  • High- or Medium-Impact Polystyrene
  • PVC compounds
  • SAN
  • TPU
  • EVA

‍

Recommended Dosage

Process % estimado de uso
Uso general ~ 0.5 % (5 grams per kilogram of resin)
Injection 0.1 % – 0.5 %
Extrusion 0.2 % – 0.8 %
Blow molding 0.1 % – 0.3 %
Rotational molding 0.2 % – 0.8 %

‍

Important Considerations

  • For transparent products, control the dosage to avoid haze or loss of clarity.
  • Avoid very high concentrations, as they may affect the surface finish or the thermal stability of the material.
  • Store in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect performance.

‍

Advantages over calcium stearate

  • It offers better dispersion and lubrication, improving processing efficiency.
  • It withstands elevated temperatures better, which is useful in demanding applications.
  • Lower impact on transparency: ideal for plastics where clarity is required.
