The Dynamic Melt Mixer is recommended for mixing of polymeric materials in general because of the numerous advantages. Below are given a few examples of potential applications where superior mixing is critical, therefore the use of the Dynamic Melt Mixer is particularly recommended, since it is likely to give better results.

Polymer alloys and blends

Conductive polymers

Mixing determines the distribution of the conducting component in the matrix. The efficiency of a Dynamic Melt Mixer may allow sufficient mixing of a matrix (e.g.: ABS) and an intrinsically conductive material, such as polyaniline or carbon black without using an organic solvent or high concentration of the conductive component. Reduction of the concentration of the latter (reduction of the percolation threshold) will contribute to cost reduction and improvement of the mechanical properties of the blend.

Fire retardant polymer compositions

The Dynamic Melt Mixer technology may allow relatively homogeneous mixing of various fire retardants in polymer matrices. Therefore, high degree of fire resistance may be achieved with the incorporation of small amount of fire retardants, which in turn will improve the mechanical properties of the material and lower the cost.
