RMP-804 additive was developed to supply
both process and long term thermal stability to pulverized resin powders
avoiding costly compounding and pelletizing. In general, process and thermal
stabilizers for rotational molding materials are added to recycled and/or
wide specification linear low density polyethylene resins before they are
compounded and pelletized. The resulting pellets are then pulverized into
powder for rotational molding.
RMP-804 is a synergistic mixture of
hindered phenolic antioxidants and organophosphite stabilizer and has the
physical form of white powder.
Recommended dosage is 0.1% to 0.25%
Melting point is greater than 50°C and
a bulk density of about 1.05 grams per cubic centimeter.
Benefit: Advantage of providing the
manufacturer with the ability to utilize recycle LLDPE rotational molding
resins that need stabilization by adding RMP-804 to the pulvervized recycle
powder without the compounding requirement. Typically recompounding in
stabilizer adds about 10-15 cents per pound compared to adding RMP-804 at
0.15% adding about 2 cents to the cost.
