Devolatilization
AIMPLAS has identified the most affecting factors for odor reduction when processing specially during compounding process.
Odor is one of the most important drawbacks for plastic applicability (automotive, home appliance, E&E, toys, etc.), especially when replacing odorless traditional materials such as glass, wood, metals or ceramics. Plastic modification by compounding also includes sources of undesired odors, also compounding can be adapted to minimize these effects.
Our solutions
AIMPLAS has identified the most affecting factors for odor reduction when processing specially during compounding process.
- Screw designs that combine mixing with devolatilization
- Right addition of stripping agents
- Optimization of the processing conditions.
Technical advice and assistance
AIMPLAS has been working with all kind of polymers (commodities, bioplastics, technical, recycled etc…), combined with any filler, additive or fiber and has detected the problem associated with odors and modified the compounding process to find the right balance between compounding and devolatilization.
AIMPLAS can help you to:
- Optimize your compounding process without avoiding devolatilization.
- To detect compound defects associated with poor devolatilization.
- To modify your screw design to improve venting and volatile removal.
- To improve devolatilization by the addition of stripping agents.
- To remove odors from plastics.
