PMDA vs Epoxy Chain Extenders: A Comprehensive Comparison for Polyester Modification
In the field of polyester modification—particularly when working with materials such as PLA (polylactic acid), PET, and rPET—chain extenders are vital additives used to improve melt strength, molecular weight, and overall processability. Two popular types of chain extenders are PMDA (pyromellitic dianhydride) and epoxy-functional chain extenders, such as HyMax® KL-180. Although both aim to achieve similar goals […]
Application of HyMax RT-A1 Flame Retardant Masterbatch in Transparent BOPET
As consumer demand for product safety and environmental friendliness continues to rise, transparent BOPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) film, widely used in food packaging, electronic product protection films, and optical devices, is increasingly required to have enhanced flame retardancy. HyMax RT-A1 flame retardant masterbatch, an innovative flame retardant additive, is being applied in the production […]

Why are photovoltaic modules affected by PID?
Introduction Solar power plants’ long-term profitability is determined by the stability and efficiency photovoltaic modules. The PV modules can suffer from Possible Induced Decay (PID) during prolonged operation. This phenomenon leads to a reduced power output and lower efficiency. It may even pose safety risks for the whole PV system. PID can have a major impact on the energy […]
Common Stabilizers Used in the Production of Polyester Monofilament
Introduction Polyester monofilaments are widely used in various industries, including textiles, industrial applications, fishing lines, 3D printing, and medical sutures. These materials are highly valued for their flexibility, strength, and durability. However, polyester is susceptible to several types of degradation during processing and production, including hydrolysis and UV-induced damage. These degradation mechanisms can negatively affect […]
