Application
PRODUKT KP 9128 is an alkali-free pressing agent that makes it possible to compact dry press bodies uniformly and increases the density in most cases. The additive acts as a pressure-equalizing agent by the formation of lubricating layers within the body, thus facilitating flow under pressure. The formation of a lubricating layer between the body and the mould wall also reduces the frictional forces set up there, and thus contributes to a reduction in wear and tear.
It can be incorporated into extrusion bodies, as a lubricant to reduce friction on the press cylinder and die.
PRODUKT KP 9128 forms a fine emulsion in water and can be very readily incorporated into the body. The emulsions can have different viscosities, depending on the mixing ratio and the temperature of the water used. If very low viscosity, homogeneous emulsions are preferred, it is recommended to work with water temperatures of > 20 °C with solutions of 1:3 (PRODUKT KP 9128 : water) or higher if required.
The amount added is approx. 0.2 to 1.5 % based on the solids content of the body.
