★ Desiccant — Anti-Moisture

Desiccant Masterbatch is one of Stylex's flagship additive products — a highly concentrated dispersion of moisture-absorbing agents (primarily calcium oxide or molecular sieve compounds) in a PE or PP carrier. It is blended into the polymer melt to actively absorb residual moisture from recycled materials, fillers, or the ambient environment — preventing surface defects, bubbles, pinholes, and degradation caused by steam formation during processing.

Key Benefits
Moisture Absorption Bubble Elimination Enables Recycled Content Reduces Rejects Improves Surface Quality Cost Saving
Recycled Plastics

Recycled PE & PP Processing

Recycled flake and regrind materials carry residual moisture that causes bubbles and surface defects. Desiccant MB absorbs this moisture in-situ during extrusion — enabling higher regrind content without quality loss.

Blown & Cast Films

Blown & Cast Films

Moisture in PE resin or additives causes pinholes and melt fracture in thin films. Desiccant MB maintains melt quality and surface smoothness — particularly in high-speed film lines processing recycled blends.

Woven Sacks & Raffia

Woven Sacks & Raffia

PP raffia tape extrusion is sensitive to moisture-induced breakage. Desiccant MB reduces tape breaks during drawing — improving line efficiency and reducing downtime in high-speed looms.

Pipe & Profile Extrusion

Pipe & Profile Extrusion

Moisture in recycled HDPE or mineral fillers creates voids and weak points in pipe walls. Desiccant MB ensures a consistent, void-free melt — critical for pressure-rated pipe applications.

Injection Moulding

Injection Moulding

Surface splay, silver streaks, and short shots caused by moisture in PP or recycled material are eliminated by dosing 1–2% Desiccant MB — reducing scrap rates and improving part aesthetics.

01 UV Stabilizer

UV Stabilizer Masterbatch protects PE and PP products from photodegradation caused by prolonged UV exposure — preventing colour fading, embrittlement, and loss of mechanical properties in outdoor applications such as agricultural films, geomembranes, pipes, and construction sheeting.

Key Benefits

Irrigation Pipes & Fittings

Above-ground PE irrigation systems rely on UV stabilizer MB to prevent surface degradation and maintain pressure ratings through multiple agricultural seasons.

Outdoor Furniture & Profiles

PP garden furniture and construction profiles use UV stabilizer MB to maintain colour, surface gloss, and impact resistance after years of outdoor exposure.

02 Anti-Slip

Anti-Slip Masterbatch increases the coefficient of friction on PE and PP film and sheet surfaces — preventing stacked bags, sacks, or palletised goods from sliding during storage and transport. Essential for woven sack, FIBC, and heavy-duty packaging applications.
