BRUGGOLEN® P252
BRUGGOLEN® P252 is a synergistic mixture of various nucleating and lubricating substances. It is our highly-efficient nucleating agent for polyesters. Reduction of cycle time during injection molding Improved dimensional stability - significant reduction of warping in GD-reinforced compounds Improves mechanical properties (tensile strength, stiffness, etc.) Increases heat distortion temperature Non-volatile Non-extractable

- Appearance
- White to off-white powder
- Processing
The addition to the polyester melt is best done by compounding on twin screw extrusion machines. Only this will lead to the desired optimum dispersion of the stabilizer in the compound. Dry blending of BRUGGOLEN® P252 along with polyester granules will not lead to an optimum dispersion of the additive in the melt during injection molding.. However, to support the dispersion of BRUGGOLEN® P252 when making a dry-blend, it is recommended that our BRUGGOLEN® P60 as adhesive agent is used.
