Americhem, a leader in custom color, functional additives, and performance technologies for synthetic fibers, is thrilled to introduce its latest innovation: the next generation of masterbatch products under the mBrace™ softness technology platform. These products have been diligently developed to address the dynamic demands of today’s market. To meet rising consumer demand for enhanced softness in nonwoven products and to establish a new benchmark for a superior tactile experience that consumers desire, the mBrace™ product line, featuring groundbreaking technology, was designed by incorporating a proprietary blend of additives to provide an outstanding user experience. This new line of products is also engineered for efficient processing and produces minimal volatiles during processing. These additive masterbatches deliver a personalized tactile experience that can be created to align with consumer preferences and application needs.
These next generation mBrace™ softness additive masterbatches are multifaceted and represent a significant advancement over existing offerings. The new line features enhanced haptics, offering a wide range of textures that include silky, super silky, cottony, and slick sensations. This achievement delivers the perfect balance between drape and stiffness, providing a silky texture, enhancing smoothness, promoting dryness and coolness, and imparting a cotton-like feel. Americhem’s commitment to innovation ensures that customers can precisely tailor the softness attributes to the desired coefficient of friction in their end products. Moreover, these masterbatches offer a cost[1]effective solution, with reduced volatility and enhanced thermal stability at high processing temperatures of ≥ 300oC, outperforming traditional slip agents commonly used in the industry (See Figure 1). This leads to improved processing efficiency by avoiding plate-out-related issues and ensures preservation of the active ingredient throughout the manufacturing process.
All mBrace™ products offered in Europe are REACH compliant and can be provided in a variety of packaging options.
