EcoForte PP MF40 110 is a 40% natural mineral filled polypropylene masterbatch in granular form. It is based on polypropylene homopolymer with specific viscosity and blending properties. Designed as nucleation masterbatch to help crystallization of PP. EcoForte PPH MF40 110 can be custom coloured and UV stabilized, upon request, but is usually used in natural colour.

Pre-drying is not absolutely necessary. Moisture content is typically < 0,2%. Moisture sensitive materials are usually packed in sealed aluminium bags or aluminium lined boxes/bigbags. If material is dried, 2-4 hours at 60ºC is recommended.
EcoForte PPH MF40 110 works well within the usual bandwidth of polymer temperatures of PP based materials, which is between 160 and 230 ºC. Feeding is usually done with a small masterbatch feeding screw or through a separate mixing step with the main polymer. Colour and/or UV can be added as masterbatch. Typical dosage level is between 1 and 15%.
Temperature profile from feed to die: 170 – 180 – 190 – 210 – 230 °C
