Melt Flow Improver

The DEGALAN^® XFLOW melt flow improvers are used to improve the thermoplastic processability of engineering plastics such as polyamides, polyesters and polycarbonates etc. DEGALAN^® XFLOW causes a marked improvement in the melt flow of engineering plastics during thermoplastic processing, e.g. during injection molding, without detriment to the mechanical properties, toughness and heat deflection temperature of the components. DEGALAN^® XFLOW achieves good processability and surface quality even with high filler charges and offers the following benefits especially when the molding compounds are injection-molded:

• reduced processing temperature
• reduced cycle time
• reduced clamping force
• improved production of fine structures
• reduction in the number of injection points for large components
