Prerequisite
It is very important to know regarding sodium Filler that this needs to be preheated before use. Since the base compound is Sodium which is highly prone to Moisture, PREHEAT is mandatory. The preheat will ensure the moisture removal from the filler and if not done the effects can be seen on the product hampering the transparency of the Film to a major extent. Suggested Preheat is in 70-80 Degrees for 8-10 minutes and during Monsoons or Industries in Coastal Areas need to increase the suggested preheat to some considerable extent. Industries with no provision of preheat can run the material in high-speed mixtures for ample time to remove the moisture from the Filler.
Dosing
The recommended Dosing of the Filler is between 3-35% depending on the degree of transparency required. It also depends on the grade of sodium filler being used as for the same dosing of filler the results will differ in all the three different grades of the Explicab Filler. The transparency will also change as per the thickness/micron of the film. While using the Explicab Filler in the same dosing the transparency of the film will increase as the thickness of the film reduces and the transparency will reduce as the thickness of the film increases.
Skepticism
There is to be noted that Sodium Filler is not to attain transparency but to RETAIN Transparency. It cannot make the translucent/opaque film transparent, rather it will retain the transparency of the Natural Films. This Filler is not recommended to use in PP Films. Any thing made with use of Reprocess material and Explicab Filler does not ensures any fair results. The results of this filler will be achieved only in use with Virgin material.
