What is a polymer compound?

Polymer compound is a type of additive that is added to improve the performance of plastic. This type of material is added to plastic materials for stability and resistance. Polymer compound is actually a combination of powder and polymer, which has three main components: polymer base, compatibilizer, chemical additives.

The structure of these compounds are also granular and, like مستربچ مشکی, they have various functions in various industries, including car accessories, packaging, production and manufacturing of various types of pipes, etc.

Sometimes the performance of the material according to its characteristics is not suitable and sufficient for the production of the desired product. In fact, the characteristics of the material are such that it does not have a suitable compatibility with the production limitations. In these cases, it is better to use additives to eliminate such defects. If the additives are used in a timely and correct manner, some characteristics of the material such as hardness, durability, or the ability to not erode in the vicinity of air will be improved. Therefore, in this case, the final product will be a valuable product. In order to obtain certain properties of materials, it is necessary to add other materials to polymer bases in most applications.

One of the important solid additives used to improve the performance of plastic is polymer compound. Polymer compound is actually a combination of polymer and a kind of powder that is used to strengthen the polymer structure. When during the process of plastic injection and extrusion one or more polymers or various additives are mixed with each other and increase the mechanical, thermal and physical properties of the final and manufactured product, a compound is created. The units in which compounds are produced are called compounds. Compounds have a granular form like masterbatch.

Components of the compound

Compounds, like masterbatches, have three main components:

1. Polymer base: Compounds must have a polymer base. In this case, it will be easier to combine them with a polymer product.

2. Compatibility factor: In order to create compatibility and balance between the polymer base and chemical additives, it is necessary to add this substance to the compound structure. If this substance does not exist, the chemical additive will not be distributed uniformly in the base polymer, and finally, in such a situation, the quality of the final product will be low.

3. Chemical additives: adding chemical additives to the structure of the compound causes the desired characteristics to be applied to the final product. Colored materials are most of the additives that change the color of the desired polymer.

Application of polymer compound

The polymer compound is usually visible around and everywhere. With a little care, you will see the products made or packed with compounds. Compounds are very widely used and will make life easier. It can be said that today life is not possible without these compounds and products.

The application of polymer compounds in various industries are:

• Car accessories
• Plastic sheets
• Production of electric cables and wires
• plastic dishes
• Drip irrigation and water supply pipes
• All kinds of syringes and medical tools
• Roof tiles
• Toys and much more

Compounds are used in the production of electrical and electronic parts, production of household appliances, production of disposable and dairy containers by thermoforming method, five-layer pipes, hoses, sewage pipes, etc.

The reputable compounding companies design and build the compound according to the order they receive from the customer and based on the level of his expectations.

Types of polymer compounds

The use of polymer materials in industries is very wide. If we want to mention one of the most used materials, we can name polyethylene type polymer.

Polypropylene compound

Most of these compounds are usually composites, which are used in the production of household appliances, pipes and fittings, automobile parts, etc.

Polyethylene compound

This type of compound is a type of water pipe that is made of a combination of compound and a percentage of carbon black. Polyethylene compound consists of industrial quality waste and new materials, which has a high resistance to sunlight, also has an affordable price and good properties. In addition to the features mentioned for the polyethylene pipe compound, we must say that this type of compound has excellent and suitable plasticity, which can compete in the field of water supply pipes in domestic and foreign markets.

Filler compound

This type of compound is offered in different filler percentages and on different polymer bases. This type of compound has an advanced formulation that provides suitable and desirable properties as well as reducing the price of the final product. These types of compounds are effective in various processes such as thermoforming, extrusion and plastic injection.

Engineering compound

Compound units according to the needs of customers and based on their wishes, including resistance to acids and chemical solvents, mechanical strength, resistance to wear, resistance to ozone, long life, etc., and taking into account mold shrinkage. Also, the conditions of plastic injection are used to design the molds of engineering compounds and produce them.

Sound insulation compounds

The efficiency of these compounds is important in creating sound insulation properties in sewer pipes and structures that require sound insulation. In these compounds, polypropylene filled with a high percentage of barium sulfate is used to create sound insulation properties.

Composites reinforced with glass fibers

These types of polymer compounds have good thermal and mechanical properties. This issue has made it possible to use them in various industries such as electrical, electronic, household appliances and automobiles.

Rheological cleaning compound

Due to its rheological property, this compound is offered as a cleaner for polymer process devices such as pipes, electricity, film, cardboard, plastic, mardon and cylinder. In the mentioned processes, the use of this type of compound causes the removal of impurities and rapid color change.

final word

Polymer means many parts, which is of Greek origin. In order to produce larger shapes with various and different properties, it is necessary to combine the constituent molecules of synthetic plastics and polymer compounds with each other.
