Plastic Moulding Additive from Nuplex Construction Products

Culaset is an innovative approach to improving production efficiency in the moulded plastic industry. It is a specialty additive applied in high run production lines when making plastic moulded articles.

It significantly reduces cycle times in both injection and extrusion projects. Usage of Culaset ensures the moulded item sets up quickly, which results in the finished item being able to be removed from the mould sooner. Customers who have used Culaset have found that it increases productivity by approximately 30% which also has an additional benefit of lowering manufacturing costs.

Culaset is very versatile product as it can deliver increases in the entire range of physical properties required by diverse applications.

In some applications such as clear water drink bottles, moulders are able to produce items that are only a few millimeters thick, which would have been unthinkable without Culaset as it provides stiffness and rigidity to thinner applications.

Traditionally moulders are required to slow down their process to avoid warpage and shrinkage. Achieving uniform shrinkage in physical properties is a complicated task. By using Culaset moulders can achieve a uniform shrinkage and low warpage.

Culaset is provided by Culamix, a Nuplex business specialising in innovative colour and functionality solutions for the plastics industry.
