Translink® 445

Translink 445 is an amino silane surface-modified calcined kaolin product engineered for performance in PA/PBT resin systems. The silane-treatment is added for improved coupling with polymer resins, offering enhanced mechanical strength and moisture resistance. Translink 445 is optimized for thermoplastics and thermosets, particularly where performance, consistency, and compatibility are critical.

‍

• Water absorption reduction: Helps lower moisture uptake—crucial for polyamides that absorb humidity
• Mechanical reinforcement: Increases tensile and flexural strength, improves dimensional stability and heat deflection temperature (HDT)
• Impact strength enhancement: Fine particle size & low residue contribute to improved impact behavior in nylon blends
• Thermal performance: Enhances heat deformation resistance—important for high-performance nylon components
• Shrinkage control: Dense particle packing helps maintain dimensional accuracy, as shown in sintering and molding patents
