Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Desiccants in plastic & polymer applications

Desiccants play an important role in plastic processing by removing residual moisture from polymers, fillers, and additives during extrusion, molding, and compounding operations. Excess moisture in plastics can cause defects such as bubbles, voids, silver streaks, pin holes, and poor surface finish in the final product. Calcium Oxide based desiccants help improve processing stability, reduce hydrolytic degradation, enhance filler dispersion, and improve the mechanical and dimensional stability of finished plastic products. They also function as acid scavengers, helping improve product quality and shelf life.

VAPOROXOL-3F is a highly surface-treated Calcium Oxide desiccant designed for plastics and rubber applications. It effectively absorbs excess moisture during extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and film processing, thereby minimizing bubbles, pin holes, and blister formation. Its advanced surface coating ensures superior dispersion in the polymer matrix and improves processing stability, productivity, and surface finish. Vaporoxol-3F also acts as an acid scavenger, helping reduce degradation in recycled and highly filled polymer systems while improving mechanical properties and reducing scrap generation.

CALOX PR is a surface-treated Calcium Oxide desiccant specially developed for moisture control in plastic processing applications. It absorbs residual moisture and helps eliminate blistering, bubbling, and pin holes in finished plastic products. CALOX PR improves filler and pigment dispersion, enhances polymer flow characteristics, and increases productivity during extrusion and molding operations. Its chemically treated surface improves shelf life and prevents unwanted reactions with atmospheric humidity, making it highly suitable for masterbatches, PVC compounds, films, sheets, and flexible profile applications.

TROCEN UF is an ultra-pure, highly surface-treated Calcium Oxide desiccant designed for polymer compounding and masterbatch applications. It efficiently removes residual moisture from polymers and filler systems during processing, thereby preventing voids, silver streaks, and surface defects in molded and extruded products. Trocen UF improves filler dispersion, enhances processing consistency, and functions as an effective acid scavenger in highly filled polymer systems. Its superior purity and fine particle size provide excellent compatibility with engineering plastics, recycled polymers, and PE/PP compounds while improving mechanical and thermal stability.

Our desiccant grades are widely used in various plastic products and polymer processing applications including filler, white, colour, black, and additive masterbatches, PE & PP filled compounds, films, sheets, blow molded products, injection molded parts, PVC sheets, flexible profiles, gaskets, engineering plastic compounds, recycled polymer granules, nylon compounds, WPC systems, and highly filled polymer compounds. These products are also suitable for packaging films, raffia applications, non-woven products, and rubber compounds including EPDM systems.

Our Calcium Oxide desiccant grades provide high moisture absorption efficiency and effectively prevent bubbles, voids, pin holes, and surface blistering in plastic products. They improve processing stability, filler dispersion, extrusion performance, surface finish, gloss, and dimensional stability of finished compounds. These grades also reduce hydrolytic degradation, minimize scrap and reprocessing costs, improve mechanical and thermal properties, and enhance shelf life of polymer systems. Their dual functionality as desiccants and acid scavengers makes them highly effective for recycled polymers, highly filled compounds, and demanding processing applications.
