Common questions
Can SEMITI 960 substitute Kronos 2225 in ABS/PC/PA engineering plastic compounding?+
Yes — both target engineering plastics with amine-compatible Al₂O₃ + organic surface treatment and HALS compatibility. Run your standard engineering plastic substitution cycle. Thermal stability at 300°C: Kronos 2225 at Δb* ≤1.8 vs SEMITI 960 at ≤2.0 — a minor difference acceptable in most compounding applications.
How much cheaper is SEMITI 960 vs Kronos 2225?+
SEMITI 960 lands approximately 30% lower than Kronos 2225 in Asian markets. For engineering plastic compounders in Asia with cost-optimization goals, this savings on a high-value specialty grade is material.
When should I keep using Kronos 2225 rather than switching to SEMITI 960?+
Keep Kronos 2225 when you have an established Kronos qualification with European engineering plastic customers who specify Kronos by brand, or when your thermal stability requirement is extremely tight (Δb* ≤1.8 at 300°C). For Asia-Pacific compounders without a Kronos lock-in, SEMITI 960 is the cost-competitive alternative.
