AXEL'S New MoldWiz® INT-35PHT — Process Additive for PBT and Hybrid PBT

Axel Plastics Research Laboratories (Woodside, New York), reports the development of a new proprietary process aid additive targeted to those who process or mold PBT and PBT resin blends.

AXEL’s new additive was developed in response to increased use of high-performance polymer blends in the automotive, transportation and electronics markets. “AXEL’s goal has been to offer a process aid additive that will offer improved flow of PBT and PBT resin blends,” says Nancy Teufel, AXEL’s Product Manager. “We now have that with MoldWiz® INT-35PHT, which allows more flexibility in the incorporation of filler types and loading levels, as well as an easier cavity fill and release performance for those same resins.”

Introduction of Modular Extrusion System

Apex Engineering and Apex Controls Specialist will present an innovative take on modular compounding lines at the 2012 NPE Show. What makes these systems unique to the industry is the flexibility for the owner to choose their own equipment and controls platform to meet their existing plant standards or needs. Also unique is the way the module assembles. Once erected, it resembles a normal process line not a boxy sea crate frame. It can integrate into a traditional processing building or is low profile enough to slide right into a warehouse type building.
