MOISTURE & GAS ABSORBERS

Moisture and gas absorbers, known as desiccants, play a crucial role in the production of regranulates, regrinds, and agglomerates. Combining the properties of degassing agents and moisture absorbers, desiccants effectively eliminate unwanted moisture and gases from raw materials during processing. This ensures high-quality products free from defects that could negatively impact both the appearance and mechanical properties of the final products.

Moisture absorbers are essential in plastic processing, particularly where moisture presence could lead to undesirable chemical reactions, causing material degradation, reduced strength, or surface defects. Using absorbers allows for efficient moisture removal without the need for prior drying of raw materials, saving both time and production costs.

Another critical feature of absorbers is their ability to remove gases generated during production. These gases can result from both thermal degradation of plastics and contamination in the raw material. Their presence in the polymer mass can lead to porosity, adversely affecting the strength and aesthetics of the final products. With our desiccants, the production process becomes more efficient, and the product quality is enhanced to meet even the most demanding customer expectations.

RUTALIA Masterbatches & Additives offers a variety of absorbers tailored to different production types and materials:

  • Standard: Fine-grain with a natural limestone color;
  • Economical: Environmentally friendly carrier composition with a darker gray shade;
  • Combo: Absorber with carbon black, ideal for black applications;
  • Premium: High-concentration natural-colored concentrate, further protected with a wax layer that slows down oxidation of the active substance.

All variants are available in our regular offer. Please contact us for more details.
