Additive for thermoplastic compounds: BYK-MAX CT 4255
Organic modified phyllosilicate (clay) fillers that improve the mechanical properties and gas barrier performance of thermoplastic compounds for applications such as films and automobiles.
BYK-MAX CT 4255 is a type of inorganic filler designed as an additive for thermoplastic compounds to improve mechanical properties such as tensile strength and gas barrier properties. Depending on the type of gas, it can reduce permeability by up to 40%. Due to its unique organic modification, it exhibits high thermal stability during processing.

Applications/Examples of results
Recommended Use BYK-MAX CT 4255 can be used with thermoplastic resins. It is particularly suitable for use with engineering resins such as polyamides and polyesters. Typical applications include automotive parts, barrier packaging, and flame-retardant compounds. Recommended Addition Amount: 3-5% as an additive relative to the total formulation. Addition Method To achieve optimal dispersion and separation of the additive, it is recommended to use a co-rotating twin-screw extruder or BUSS continuous kneader when compounding with thermoplastic compounds. When compounding, it is effective to select an extrusion unit with as long a length as possible (>40L/D) and a screw design with high dispersion performance. To avoid compression of the additive, if possible, add it through side feeding to already molten polymer.
