Stabaxol® in PET monofilaments
Drying screens made of woven plastic filaments needed for papermaking, which are used in aqueous media at temperatures of around 100 °C, are subject to hydrolytic degradation.
The PET monofilaments used for this purpose often do not completely meet the stringent hydrolysis stability requirements for such applications. Adding Stabaxol® to PET can counteract such degradation and improve the service life considerably compared to non-stabilized grades.
In addition to the cost savings for the screens themselves, the distinct reduction in downtime and replacement time for screen changes also has a positive impact on operating costs.
