LB 156 - Medium / Opaque MBS is an additive recommended for formulations seeking mechanical reinforcement combined with an opaque and uniform finish. It is commonly used in the production of plastic parts where transparency is not required, but impact resistance and thermal stability are essential. The product modifies the polymer matrix, providing a balance between rigidity and elasticity, which increases the durability of the manufactured items.
In addition to its structural role, LB 156 improves the molding process by facilitating complete mold filling and reducing surface defects such as flow marks and bubbles. Companies producing extruded profiles, panels, technical parts, and white goods find in this additive an efficient solution to raise the quality and reliability of their products.
The differential of LB 156 - Medium / Opaque MBS lies in its ability to provide controlled impact resistance without compromising the opaque appearance of the final part. In many processes, the challenge is not only mechanical strength but also achieving a uniform and flawless look. That’s where the additive acts strategically, allowing manufacturers to deliver robust and visually consistent parts.
Its formulation is especially useful in extrusion and injection molding of polymers, where thermal control and dimensional stability are critical factors. Furthermore, LB 156 has excellent compatibility with mineral fillers and pigments, ensuring that the opaque finish remains homogeneous even in more complex compositions.
Key benefits observed during processing include:
Each industrial application requires a specific approach to LB 156 dosing, as factors such as part thickness, polymer type, and process conditions vary significantly across sectors. Using an incorrect dosage may result in excessive rigidity, processing issues, or additive waste.
Therefore, determining the ideal amount involves practical analysis, considering both final product requirements and production line parameters. Technical support during this adjustment process makes all the difference in achieving the best cost-benefit ratio, ensuring long-term quality and stability.
Key points to consider in this adjustment:
Proper customization of these factors results in a more efficient production process, with reduced waste and improved technical performance of the final product.
