- Features
RiKAFAST EDX is a superior clarifier that operates within a wide processing window whilst giving excellent clarity and improved esthetics. With the rise in melt flow rate of resins, processing temperatures have been reduced, sometimes as low as 190◦C. RiKAFAST EDX utilizes patented technology, which enables the clarifier and the resin to form a solution even at relatively low temperature, giving excellent haze values.
