PC Flowing Agent Masterbatch F-M510

F-M510 is a flowing agent(FA) masterbatch developed for polycarbonate (PC). It can effectively improve the processing flowability of modified PC. Otherwise, it doesn’t affect optical, thermal, and mechanical properties.

1. Materials

PC: Covestro Makrolon 2805
Flowing agent: Inovia F-M510 (10% AF-25 )

2. Processing

Drying: 120℃, 4h.
Extrusion temperature: 230~260℃
Injection temperature: 260~270℃; mold temperature: 60~80℃

Note: "PC" in the diagram refers to PC pure resin after extruding.
