BENEFITS FOR PLASTICS
Nan-O-Sil ASD™ is proven to increase manufacturing efficiency dramatically while reducing process variability that leads to waste. With primary particles ranging from 0.01-0.3 microns, this innovative additive delivers powerful performance enhancements across a variety of plastics such as PP, PE, nylons, PBT, PC, LCP, PEEK, and rigid PVC.
- Reduce Injection Molding Cycle Time by 30-40% : Maximize efficiency in injection molding with significant reductions in the required cycle time for most crystalline polymers, boosting productivity and lowering production costs in both time and energy use.
- Reduce Extrusion Process Variability: Stabilize discharge temperature and pressure, reduce melt flow variability, and decrease waste and cosmetic variation in extrusion processes.
- Superior Color Dispersion: Achieve better color uniformity with improved dispersion, enabling a reduction in expensive color concentrate use and substantial materials cost savings.
- Minimize Warpage/Enhanced Part Tolerances: Ensure superior dimensional integrity with reduced warpage in complex molded parts, including square corners and intricate geometries. This allows for improved precision and quality of your final products with better critical part tolerances, meeting the highest industry standards.
- Boost Strength Properties: Increase the tensile strength and toughness of plastics like nylons, PP, PE, and PBT, resulting in more durable and reliable components.
- Improved Dimensional Stability: Nan-O-Sil ASD™ enhances the dimensional stability of molded parts, ensuring your products don’t lose their shape and tolerances with age.
- Cost-Efficient Solution: Nan-O-Sil ASD™ offers incredible value at a fraction of the cost of comparable fumed silica additives, with many common polymers seeing all of these benefits with an additive of only 0.8% Nan-O-Sil by weight.
BENEFITS FOR SHEAR THICKENING FLUIDS
Nan-O-Sil ASD™ is a uniquely powerful additive for Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs).
- Impact Resistance: STF-Grade Nan-O-Sil ASD™ is an unusually large fumed silica with shear thickening properties, providing a unique advantage in managing impact resistance.
- Higher Thickening Ratio: This additive can help achieve a higher thickening ratio than similar fumed silicas.
- Stronger Materials, Lighter Weight: In STF-impregnated fabrics, it can increase maximum load and energy absorption, ultimately creating stronger materials at a lighter weight.
