When using EASONZELL™ ME Series products, how to determine the optimal addition amount to achieve the best performance?

EASONZELL™ ME Series is a functional additive widely used in various industrial fields. Its precise addition amount is directly related to the performance, quality and economic benefits of the final product. Therefore, scientifically determining the optimal addition amount can not only ensure that product performance meets expectations, but also achieve optimization in terms of cost control. The following content will comprehensively discuss how to determine the optimal addition amount of EASONZELL™ ME Series from three aspects: influencing factors, evaluation methods and operational suggestions.

1. Main factors affecting the amount of addition
1.1 Product application areas
EASONZELL™ ME Series has diverse applications in different fields, such as coatings, plastic modification, adhesives, etc. Each application has different performance requirements for additives, which directly affects the optimal dosage. For example:

In coatings, dispersion and gloss effects may be of primary concern;
In plastics, the amount added may need to balance strength, toughness and clarity.
1.2 Characteristics of base material
The type and physical and chemical properties of the substrate have a significant impact on the amount of EASONZELL™ ME Series added. For example:

If the substrate has a high molecular density, more additives may be needed to ensure even dispersion.
The compatibility of the substrate will also determine whether additional adjustments are needed to optimize performance.
1.3 Target performance requirements
The specific performance requirements of users are the core basis for determining the amount to be added. If you wish to improve a certain property of your product (such as wear resistance or flexibility), you may need to increase the proportion of EASONZELL™ ME Series. However, it should be noted that excessive addition may cause side effects, such as increased product brittleness or excessive cost.

2. Method to determine the optimal amount of addition
2.1 Preliminary reference to product instructions
The recommended dosage range is usually provided in the EASONZELL™ ME Series product instructions, which is an important basis for determining the initial usage amount. For example, the recommended addition amount may be 0.5%~2.0% of the total weight, and users can start testing from the middle value.

2.2 Small batch test method
Through small-scale experiments, gradually adjust the proportion of additives and observe their impact on product performance:

Grading test: Divide the additives into several groups according to proportion (such as 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%), prepare samples and test the performance.
Performance evaluation: Test performance indicators (such as viscosity, tensile strength, gloss, etc.), and record the changing trends of addition amount and performance indicators.
Optimization selection: Find the amount of addition that provides optimal performance or is close to the target performance.
2.3 Data model prediction
For large-scale production users, a reasonable range of addition amounts can be determined through calculations based on data models and production experience. For example, a mathematical model between the amount of addition and product performance is established based on historical data to predict the optimal point of the amount of addition.

2.4 Actual production environment verification
Laboratory results need to be verified under actual production conditions to confirm the adaptability and stability of the additive in large-scale production. At this time, attention should be paid to the impact of changes in the production environment (such as temperature, pressure) on the addition amount.

3. Optimization suggestions for adding amount
3.1 Avoid excess or deficiency
Excessive addition of EASONZELL™ ME Series may cause:

rising costs;
Decrease in product side properties (such as affecting appearance or toughness). Insufficient addition may result in:
Target performance did not meet expectations;
The product has quality issues (such as uneven distribution or missing functionality).
3.2 Consider cost-effectiveness
On the premise that the performance meets the needs, try to choose a lower addition amount to ensure cost control. For example, if target performance can be achieved with 1.0% addition, there is no need to increase it to 1.5%.

3.3 Regularly adjust the amount of addition
During the production process, the properties of raw materials may vary from batch to batch, in which case the addition amount needs to be re-evaluated based on the characteristics of the new batch.

3.4 Collaboration with technical support team
EASONZELL™ provides professional technical support. If users have any questions during use, they can contact the supplier's technical team to obtain suggestions for specific scenarios.

4. Case Analysis: Addition Volume Adjustment in Practical Applications
Case: Application of EASONZELL™ ME Series in plastic reinforcement A customer hopes to improve the impact resistance of polypropylene (PP) materials through EASONZELL™ ME Series. In preliminary tests, the addition of 0.5% failed to significantly improve performance, while the addition of 2.0% caused a decrease in material fluidity. Finally, through grading tests, it was found that the 1.5% addition amount maintained good fluidity while ensuring impact resistance. The adjusted production plan not only met customer requirements, but also saved 5% of additive costs.
