TEGO® Sorb PY 50 PP

TEGO® Sorb PY 50 PE and TEGO® Sorb PY 50 PP are masterbatches based on polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), respectively. The active component is zinc ricinoleate, which is working as an odour absorber according to the key and locker principle (not working with a flavour principle).

Typical Applications

TEGO® Sorb PY 50 PE and PP are used against malodour in the production of masterbatches and compounds. Malodour during these processes may result from the use of certain pigments, the use of recycled polymers or from vulcanization (TPE-V).
TEGO® Sorb PY 50 PE and PP are even suitable for single screw applications. The products are used for cast and blown films made from recycled polyolefines.

Benefits at a glance

  • Their excellent odour absorbing properties (it is no flavour such as vanilla) make TEGO® Sorb PY 50 PE and PP especially suitable for the effective control of odours evolving from products like hydrogen sulfide, mercaptane, thioether, isovaleric acid, amines and ammonia
  • TEGO® Sorb PY 50 PE and TEGO® Sorb PY 50 PP were developed since the direct use of the 100% active TEGO® Sorb PY 88 TQ in film lines with single screws is not recommended resulting in inhomogeneous distribution, holes or pressure peaks
  • TEGO® Sorb PY 50 PE and TEGO® Sorb PY 50 PP enable precise dosing even for very small dosages
