Arkema Inc is now manufacturing Pebax MP1878 additive at its Birdsboro, PA facility. Pebax MP1878 is a new and increasingly popular additive for industrial nylon-6 films that improves elongation strength and low-temperature performance and strengthens pinhole resistance.
Once only available from Arkema's production plant in Serquiny, France, Pebax MP1878 additive is now more easily available to North American nylon producers.
In-line addition of Pebax MP1878 at 10 to 20 weight percent as a simple blend allows industrial nylon-6 film to be more robust at low temperature and humidity and improves formability.
Arkema Inc has available a technical report on the use and benefits of Pebax MP1878 additive in nylon-6 films. For this report and other details, please visit our website.
A world-class chemical concern, Arkema combines three strategically related, integrated businesses: Vinyl Products, Industrial Chemicals and Performance Products.
With operations in more than 40 countries and 17,000 employees, the company reported revenue of €5.7 billion.
Leveraging six research centers in France, the United States and Japan and internationally recognized brands, Arkema holds leadership positions in each of its principal markets.
