Polymer Additives
Improve mechanical properties, processing, durability.
- Fillers:
Added to Improve tensile strength & abrasion resistance, toughness & decrease cost.
Examples: Carbon black, Silica gel, Wood flour, Glass, Limestone, Talc. - Plasticizers:
Added to reduce glass transition temperature Tg below room temperature. Presence of plasticizer transforms brittle polymer to a ductile one. Commonly added to PVC. - Stabilizers:
Antioxidants, UV protection - Lubricants:
Added to allow easier processing polymer “slides” through dies easier (sodium stearate). - Colorants:
Dyes and pigments - Flame Retardants:
Substances Containing Chlorine, Fluorine and Boron.
