Features Of Clariant Humitector Type 2

  1. Highly effective moisture scavenger specifically engineered for polyolefin and engineering thermoplastic processing.

  2. Non-migrating, non-volatile formulation ensures long-term stability and consistent performance during extrusion and injection molding.

  3. Halogen-free and REACH-compliant, supporting sustainable manufacturing and regulatory compliance in global markets.

  4. Enables production of low-humidity-sensitive compounds with reduced risk of hydrolysis, splay, or surface defects.

  5. Easy to dose and disperse—compatible with standard gravimetric feeders and masterbatch systems.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Humitector Type 2

  1. Polyamide (PA6, PA66) compounds for automotive under-hood components.

  2. Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) used in electrical connectors and housings.

  3. Polycarbonate (PC) and PC/ABS blends requiring high-gloss, defect-free surfaces.

  4. Recycled polymer streams where residual moisture control is critical for mechanical property retention.

  5. Thin-wall packaging and precision medical devices demanding stringent moisture management.
