AQUACER 581

AQUACER 581 is a wax emulsion produced by BYK-Chemie GmbH, designed to enhance the surface characteristics of aqueous seed coatings and serve as an anti-caking additive for underwater pelletizing of thermoplastics. Here's an overview of its properties and applications:
Composition: AQUACER 581 is a non-ionic emulsion based on carnauba wax.
Typical Properties:
- pH value: 7.5
- Non-volatile matter: 30% (60 min, 125 °C)
- Carrier: Water
- Melting point: 85 °C (wax content)
- Viscosity: < 50 mPa·s (at 23 °C, D=400/s)
Storage and Transportation: It should be stored and transported between 5 °C and 35 °C and mixed well before use due to its temperature sensitivity.
Applications:
1. Seed Coatings:
  - AQUACER 581 improves surface wetting, anti-blocking behavior, and free flow of coated seeds, making it a microplastic-free alternative to polyethylene waxes.
  - It reduces dust formation due to improved abrasion resistance.
  - Recommended for use in aqueous seed coatings and temporary wax-based protective films.
2. Anti-Caking Additive for Underwater Pelletizing of Thermoplastics:
  - Used for underwater pelletizing of thermoplastic pellets (such as TPE, TPU, EVA) prone to sticking together ("caking") under pressure and heat.
  - Forms a protective coating around pellets to create non-sticky and free-flowing pellets.
  - Significantly reduces dust formation during processing compared to solid release agents like chalk or talcum.
  - Recommended for very soft polymers with adhesive tendencies to prevent pellet sticking.
Recommended Use:
- Seed Coatings: 10–30% (as supplied) based on the total formulation when used in polymer binders, or 70–90% (as supplied) when used as a substitute for polymer binder.
- Underwater Pelletizing: 0.2–5% additive (as supplied) in the circulation water.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions: The wax additive should be added at a low shear rate and mixed well before use. For underwater pelletizing, it is added directly into the circulation water.
Special Note: AQUACER 581 is free from microplastics, and if foam develops during underwater pelletizing, BYK-023 (silicone defoamer) can be used as recommended.
