CASE STUDIES

Case Studies - Profile Extrusion
Fast Extrusion of Cables using TPX1200 Cable or Profile Production without Melt Fracture and/or Die Drool
In the production of polyolefin cables and TPV profiles, surface roughness (melt fracture) and die drool are major concerns. These issues are closely related to the rheological properties of the polymer, and are fundamentally caused by significant variations in polymer flow behavior. Such problems can be overcome by using an appropriate lubricant. TPX1200 is an excellent additive designed to address these challenges. Even at very low dosages, it delivers remarkable improvements, enabling production speeds two to three times faster than processes without TPX1200, while maintaining stable and defect-free extrusion. If you are experiencing surface roughness or die drool issues during extrusion, please contact us for technical consultation.

Case Studies - WPC
Improvement on Physical Properties of Recycled WPC using Irubond100, using Irucomp510​
As more used and old WPCs are being removed and replaced in South Korea, we conducted a study to check If these removed WPCs can be recycled. The study shows that the use of Irubond100 and Irucomp510 can help produce high quality recycled WC (above Korea Standard Specification for said material) at a very low cost.

Case Studies - WPC
Improvement in physical properties of WPC using Irucomp510​
Better physical properties including low water absorption are the key factor of WPC. We tested our Irucomp510 and It shows remarkably improved physical properties and low moisture absorption along with production speed. Irucomp510 is also very necessary when recycling broken WPCs. It is used as compatibilizer for different ingredients of WPCs.

Case Studies - WPC
Faster Production of WPC using TPX1400
High speed production of WPC profiles is the key factor for the business success. TPX1400 is a super lubricant in WPC production. Using TPX1400, the production speed increased about 4times faster and extruder could be run almost full speed.
