Dispersants & Coupling Agents: New Chemistry for a Mature IndustryTotal Cray Valley
This document discusses dispersants and coupling agents for filled polymers. It begins with an overview of how dispersants bond strongly to filler surfaces, while coupling agents bond strongly to both filler and polymer matrix. The document then provides examples of how dispersants and coupling agents can improve properties such as flow, modulus, yield strength and heat resistance. It also introduces maleated polymers like styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers and liquid polybutadienes that can be used as dispersants and coupling agents. Application examples and experimental data on using these additives to disperse aluminum trihydrate filler in EVA are also presented.
Cray Valley's ongoing study of polymer modification is presented, in part, in this slideshow. It specifically focuses on dissecting the differentiating commodity minerals with unique surface treatments. Topics covered include dispersing technology, the effect of dispersion in CaCO3-filled PP, and the analogue in PA6.
This presentation by Cray Valley talks about surface treatments for optimizing dispersion of halogen-free, flame retardant minerals. It highlights water-based coatings and the reasons behind investigating fire-resistant plastics. This slideshow reveals Cray Valley's investigation into relevant surface treatments for specific mineral systems, methods to coat filler and elongating dispersion.

Adding Value to Recycled Polyamides with Polyfunctional Chain ExtendersTotal Cray Valley
This document discusses using polyfunctional chain extenders to improve the properties of recycled polyamides from post-consumer carpet. It finds that low molecular weight anhydride functional additives, like styrene maleic anhydride copolymers, can significantly improve the mechanical and thermal properties of recycled polyamide to levels approaching virgin polyamide. The increased mobility of lower molecular weight additives makes them more effective than higher molecular weight alternatives at restoring properties through chain extension reactions in the melt.
Cray Valley conducted research to determine the effect of anhydride functional additives on reprocessed recycled nylon. The specialty chemical manufacturer also tested the nylon, derived from consumer carpeting, to see if it was possible to impart value added properties to the material while maintaining a low budget. This presentation reviews the processes they used and the test results.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
