Why should you view this course?

Are you going through all the processes with utmost care and calculations, yet your塑料是不提供所需的财产吗?Most of the formulators and masterbatch producers tend to add more additives to achieve the property. But this results in an increase in cost and compatibility issues.

The key to overcoming this challenge is to understand the cause of additive failure and incompatibility as well as how to get maximum gains with the additives used.

Join this course to:

  • Easily identify the key problemsand causes of additive failure (selection, formula, degradation)
  • Save money by reaching better performancewithout increasing the additive dosage
  • Learn how to achieve compatibilityof your additives with fillers, pigments etc. and find better alternatives
Maximize effect of additives
