Specialty Compounding Plastic and Odor Control
When it comes to all your specialty compounding NY needs, let us be your first call. There are many aspects to specialty compounding plastic, including odor control. Additives to neutralize odors can work to disguise odors or deactivate specific odor-causing species. The process of including these additives in compounding is usually a simple method. These additives can also fix low molecular weight volatiles found in plastic resins and compounds.
Three Common Odor Control Additives
- RP53 – This process is ideal if you’re working with problematic species, such as amines, phosphites, and mercaptans. These additives work well in controlling high-odor, difficult compounds. It is a blend of odor-neutralizing chemistries. While this compound works in many thermoplastics, it’s ideal in interior automotive and recycled applications.
- RP59 – These additives are a combination of VOC absorbers and odor-neutralizing chemistries. They work with high-odor, high-volatile, and challenging content compounds. While it works well with most thermoplastics, it’s primarily used for polyolefins. RP59 is commonly used in packaging applications because it absorbs odors from the packaged product and can reduce or eliminate odors.
- RP17 – The original design for this additive was to reduce end-product and process-generated odors in wood-filled plastic compounds. It is a combination of odor neutralizing mask and lubricant. Recent modifications have allowed it to be used in a variety of thermoplastic compounds and resins. If your products require multi-functionality of mold release, odor reduction, and lubrication, this additive is an excellent choice to control odor. It’s commonly used in interior automotive compounds and recycled applications.
