Our widest and broadest category of masterbatches are tailored toward polyolefins, nylons and other engineered resins. If you need flow enhancement, increase productivity, dispersants, mold release or to eliminate die build up, we have a product that will meet your specific needs.
Applications: Injection Molding
For best results, laboratory tests or preproduction trials should determine the optimum additive level. Cel-Span® Process Aid 101 internal lubricant is effective within a range of 1 to 10 parts per 1000 resin excluding reinforcements such as pigments and fillers. A high amount of filler may require a higher percentage of internal lubricant. Always start an evaluation at 5 parts per 1000 (0.5%). The internal lubricant may increase the melt flow index (MFI). Reduce the level of Cel-Span® Process Aid 101 or reduce the process temperature to raise the resin viscosity and eliminate screw slippage.

Cel-Span® Process Aid 606C recommended usage level is 1.0% to 2.0%. Since the carrier resin for Cel-Span® Process Aid 606C is polycarbonate, we recommend drying which is typical when using polycarbonate resins. For injection molding processes, adjust machine conditions so that the work energy is maintained in the screw. We also recommend that the rear zone temperatures be reduced by 15 – 20% and the front zone by 5 – 10%.
