Hydrotalcite-like material for long-lasting outdoor plastic applications
Innovative Solution
This is reflected by the fact that DHT-4V® is on the approval list of practically all polyolefin technology providers globally
The superiority of DHT-4V® as compared to other products results from its particular mechanism of adsorbing acids based on anion exchange. In the presence of acidic substances such as chloride ions, DHT-4V® will exchange the carbonate ions from the interlayer of its crystal structure and replace them with the chloride ions, which are rendered harmless
DHT-4V® can adsorb anions equivalent to about 10% of its own weight. The significantly higher capacity compared to alternatives minimizes the loss of physical properties of polymers.
Sustaintable Solution
For more than 30 years, DHT-4V® is considered to be the industry standard for deactivation of catalyst residues in polyolefins
Deactivation of residual acidic substances that originate from catalytic polymerization processes used to produce polyolefins and comparable polymers and elastomers. Using DHT-4A® will significantly reduce corrosion damage of process equipment and of the polymer itself
Scavenging free halogen ions deriving from radicals in halogenated flame retardants in various polymers
Rendering acidic residues in engineering plastic inert in order to prevent corrosion damage of molding equipment
Acid acceptor in halogenated rubber, when high water resistance is required
Corrosion inhibition in polymer-based coating systems and adhesives, which increases protection of metallic surfaces against corrosive anions
Long term weatherability in combination with Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS)
Safe Solution
Environmentally harmless
By using DHT-4V®, stearic acid vapors can be eliminated
DHT-4V is a vegetable based surface active agent (instead of tallow)
Cost-effective Solution
With DHT-4V®, the amount of water carry-over is significantly less than with Calcium-Stearate
