Effect of Processing Optimization on the Dispersion of Polycarbonate Red Dye on Compounded Plastics

Abstract:

The objects of the current study will analyze to determine the effect of the let- -down ratios (LDR) with different materials are blended in a specified ratio, the ratio typically up to 100:1 (pure resin to masterbatch). The considered design level for a (masterbatch) depends on the preferred color, pigment loading, and expected processing parameters. Intended experimentations were carried to determine the effects of different processing factors on the same formulations of a red polycarbonate letdown pigment. In addition, historic data for formulation and parameters were collected and analyzed. This research uses design expert software to study the parameter interactions effects. As a result, improve First Pass Color Production and reduce wastages.
