Brands in Performance Additives

FR Eco-Additive™ is a combination of Avtec’s TSWB® fire retarding and smoke suppressing additive and a crystalline graphite. FR Eco-Additive™ may be combined with composite resins and film forming binders to manufacture paints and coatings. Upon exposure to fire or high radiant heat the TSWB ® mitigates flammability and smoke generation as the graphite expands to form a thick insulating surface covering. This felt-like surface provides fire and heat resistance for assemblies that must meet prescribed burn-through and hourly fire rating criteria, e.g., ASTM E119, UL1709.FR Eco-Additive™ is a non-toxic antimony and bromine-free powder that disperses easily in both solvent and aqueous based resins. FR Eco-Additive™ is available with graphite loading levels of 20, 25 and 30%. Please contact Avtec for a product recommendation specific to the end-product use and fire erformance criteria.

We have a bunch of additive products for various applications. They are Nucleating agents, Optical Brighters, Color developer, Curing, etc.

Santicizer® Plasticizers offer all the benefits of high solvating plasticizers including compatibility in multiple polymer systems such as Polysulfide, PVC and Polyurethane. Because of their high efficiency, less energy is required to fuse PVC formulations. These materials are well suited for plastisol applications, but can easily be used in almost any polymer system that requires additional flexibility and softness.

HeBoFill® includes a wide variety of boron nitride powder qualities First and foremost, the HeBoFill® product family performs core tasks such as separating, lubricating, cooling or electrically insulating. Here, the focus is always on process safety, reliability and productivity - regardless of the application you need! Nowadays, the industry's demands are constantly growing. Their requirements are becoming increasingly more complex, and they demand innovative solutions that HENZE BNP can already satisfy with its HeBoFill® product family: Whether it is used as a release agent in aluminium extrusion, as a filler to increase thermal conductivity in plastics, or as an additive in oils and greases to improve high-temperature properties – HENZE BNP certainly has the perfectly-suited solution available. With its three BASIC LINE, LUB LINE and COOL LINE product lines, the HeBoFill® brand offers highest flexibility. So you can select the tailor-made boron nitride solution for varying requirements, depending on the particular customer application. These include good flowability, high bulk density, specific degrees of agglomeration or pronounced fineness.

DIACARNA™ is a copolymer of α-olefin and maleic anhydride. Applications include as a compounding additive for resin mold lubricant and release agent, compatibilizer and as a binder for thermal transfer inks.

PROFLEX PLASTICIZERS are primarily derived from sulfonamide chemistry. These are high-quality resin modifiers which exceptional performance and product quality. Traditional applications for the ProFlex line include fluorescent pigments, melamine-formaldehyde resins, nail lacquers, and printing inks

Unique composites of polyethylene waxes and REACH compliant PTFE that provide a high degree of surface lubricity, abrasion resistance, and film toughness. These proprietary formulations offer a synergistic combination of properties for superior formulation flexibility in inks, paints, and coatings. Polyfluo 900 is an LDPE/PTFE composite fortified with ceramic beads for improved burnish and abrasion resistance. Polyfluo 523AL is an HDPE/PTFE composite reinforced with alumina nanopowder for maximum scratch, mar, and scuff resistance.

VINNEX® is WACKER’s trade name for a polyvinyl acetate-based additive system for compatibilizing different biopolymers with one another, so allowing a new generation of bioplastics to be formulated. Moreover, VINNEX® simplifies processing by traditional methods.

SILFOAM® is WACKER’s innovative brand for smart foam control products. It covers silicone-based integrated system solutions for regulatingfoam-intensive applications, and thereby optimizing processes and end products. SILFOAM® foam-control systems are the result of a continuous process of applied R&D. SILFOAM® is carefully tested for its compatibility and effectiveness in the customer's formulations, thereby avoiding overfoaming in advance.

Our FireBlend® line offers alternatives to antimony trioxide. We produce these proprietary products domestically and tailor them to flame retardant requirements.

The SILRES® brand comprises a wide range of silicones for coatings, paints and construction applications.
