Hordamer PE02

HORDAMER PE 02 is a polyethylene dispersion recommended for the formulation of aqueous mould release agents used in aluminium die casting. The product enables thorough wetting of the mould at high temperatures, excellent film formation and outstanding adhesion to the mould surface. The mould is protected from damage and the surface quality of the finished mouldings is excellent. HORDAMER PE 02 is also used as an anti-caking additive in the manufacture of hot-melt adhesives during underwater pelletising to obtain free-flowing and non-sticking granulated material. It is directly added to the cooling water and, therefore, is easy to handle and dust-free. HORDAMER PE 02 improves the adhesive properties of aqueous emulsion adhesives intended for packaging. In the bonding of film laminated surfaces using paper or cardboard, HORDAMER PE 02 improves adhesion on the side facing the film. Adhesion is particularly enhanced on films made of oriented polypropylene (OPP), bi-axially oriented PP (BOPP) and, in some cases, also polyethylene (PE). The product has good adhesion properties also at low temperatures. HORDAMER PE 02 prevents yellowing when storing bonded systems at higher temperatures. HORDAMER PE 02 is a part of the binder in these applications, which is why it is added in greater quantities. HORDAMER PE 02 is compatible with all known polymer dispersions and plasticisers. The product provides good protection against heel marks, reduces dirt pick-up and has a satisfactory filling capacity. HORDAMER PE 02 is used in self-shine emulsions, wax cleaners and emulsion cleaners.
