ME800047is a newly developed white masterbatch from Tosaf for extrusion coating applications.Its increased heat stability significantly reduces smoke and odour when processed at high temperatures.Beyond, this new masterbatch contributes to a higher production efficiencycompared to traditional products of this kind.

Extrusion coating is a highly demanding process to apply a very thin polymer layer to a substrate at processing temperatures close to the thermal degradation point of the processed polymers (app. 300ºC). Known challenges include necking (the melt dripping unevenly on the sheet in a neck shape), heavy smoke and strong odour due to the high processing temperatures, poor dispersion, gel formation und die buildup.

To overcome these extrusion coating related issues, Tosafhas developed ME800047 white MB. It withstands the extremely high processing temperatures whilst at the same time maintaining its high dispersion quality. This results in a constantly homogenous coatingand reduces the need for filter changes during production. Gel formation is significantly reduced and its opacity allows for a lower addition level of ME800047, even in very thin layers.And becausethis new white masterbatch does not contain migrating additives, it provides high corona retention, good printability and reduced die buildup.

Tosaf Group, founded in 1985, is a joint-venture between Megides Holding and the Ravago Group, with a total of 900 employees, 40 sales offices and distributors. Tosaf operates 11 production sites in Israel, Turkey, Germany, UK, The Netherlands and Chinawith a production capacity reaching 120,000 tons per year. The groups idea is, to helppeople all over the world to enjoy far better and safer products using much less resources, increasing yields, improving food, saving water, protecting the environment, and offering a better quality of living in almost all aspects of life.
