Application of Calcium Hydroxide In Plastic Additives
As a neutralizer
In the plastic production process, acidic by-products such as hydrogen chloride may be produced, calcium hydroxide as a strong alkaline substance, can neutralize with these acidic substances, adjust the pH value of plastic materials, prevent acidic substances from causing plastic degradation, maintain the chemical stability of plastics, and extend the service life of plastic products.
As a filler
Adding calcium hydroxide can increase the hardness, strength and rigidity of the plastic. For example, the filled masterbatch made of ultra-fine calcium hydroxide is used in plastic woven bags, which can improve the mechanical properties of woven bags, so that its performance and price ratio are better than those made of ordinary filled masterbatches.
It is helpful to improve the processing performance of plastics, reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion, and improve the dimensional stability of plastic products. In the plastic processing process, the plastic is easier to form, reduce the difficulty of processing, and improve production efficiency.
The price of calcium hydroxide is relatively low, and it is added to plastics as a filler, which can replace some expensive resins or other additives to a certain extent, so as to effectively reduce the overall production cost of plastics and improve the market competitiveness of products.
As a whitening agent
Calcium hydroxide itself has white characteristics, can replace expensive white pigments to a certain extent, play a whitening effect, especially when used with other white fillers such as calcium carbonate, the whitening effect is more obvious, and can further reduce costs and improve the appearance quality of plastic products.
As an improver of thermal conductivity
The thermal conductivity of plastic products after adding calcium hydroxide will be improved, which is very useful for some plastic products that need good thermal conductivity, such as electronic and electrical enclosures, cooling parts, etc., helping to improve the heat dissipation effect of products and ensure the performance and stability of products.
