Polymers are electrically non-conductive, and have a strong tendency to accumulate surface electrostatic charges. Undesired or dangerous effects of the static charge build-up are dust attraction, difficult opening of bags, and possibility of explosion. The addition of Antistatic master batches reduces the surface resistance of the end product and avoids the accumulation of static charge. Anti-Static Additives are added to plastics to reduce or eliminate a static build up. Anti-static additives work by lowering resistivity and are capable of neutralizing the surrounding static field.

Sunlight together with heat and oxygen induces reactions of degradation in plastics, causing detrimental effects on their mechanical, optical and physical properties. The result is breakage, chalking and discoloration. Outdoor weathering results in degradation by exposure to the ultraviolet part of sunlight which reaches the earth’s surface, at wavelengths between 300 and 400 nanometres. Environmental factors like temperature, humidity, oxygen, polluting gasses also play an important role.

Rodents are attracted to plastic products due to presence of plasticizers, aromatic odors, bright colors & texture of polymer products. They have the constant urge to bite in order to polish their incisors (front teeth). As a result, rodents chew several products like power cables, plastic doors, wires, sidings, benches, molded plastic parts, drip irrigation pipes etc.

Articles made with thermoplastic polymers are often required to have an improved and brilliant white appearance. PP, PA, PET fibers, whether colorless or white-pigmented, can be produced in brighter and more attractive shades by incorporating selected additives based on optical brighteners. Optical brightner masterbatch enhance the whiteness and compensate the original inherently yellowish shade of many thermoplastic polymers.

Fogging in plastic films is the formation of small discrete droplets of water on the surface of transparent plastic films.

Lifeline Technologies offers a vast range of White Masterbatch with different TiO2 concentrations that caters to our customers’ requirements in opacity, whiteness, processes and applications. WHITE Masterbatches are available in PE, PP, EVA, ABS, PC, PET, PS and NYLON base resins for various applications.

According to a study, about 80% of infection diseases start from surface contact. Bacteria and fungi are everywhere in our daily life, the microbe can quickly reproduce with suitable conditions. It may cause contamination, odors and infectious diseases. Anti-Microbial, Anti-Fungal additives will be integrated into the polymer during the manufacturing process to inhibit the growth and provide protection from microbes.

Plastic is an amazing material that can hold almost one thousand times it’s normal weight. It will get biodegradable over a very long period of time, in some cases 1000 years to break the material down by microorganisms. Degradation of oxo-degradable plastic begins with a chemical process followed by a biological process.

Due to increasing demands in fire protection regulations it has become necessary to modify the flame retardancy behavior of plastics. Flame retardants action is to retard the flammability of plastics in order to minimize their ignition properties and burning behavior such as flame propagation, smoke, and heat. We can offer Halogenated and Non-halogenated Flame Retardant Additive, Masterbatch and Compound based on the end application.

Light Diffusers are used in plastic applications requiring high light output and dramatically increased light transmission, compared to standard sign whites.

Anti-Static Additives are added to plastics to reduce or eliminate a static build up. Anti-static additives work by lowering resistivity and are capable of neutralizing the surrounding static field.

Rodents and Termites damage several products like power cables, plastic doors, wires, sidings, benches, molded plastic parts, drip irrigation pipes etc. Rodents have the constant urge to bite in order to polish their incisors (front teeth). Ants/ Termites try to break through plastic to access a food source.

During processing, manufacturing and subsequent handling of finished articles, it is often required to modify the rheology or surface properties of polymers by addition of selected slip agents. Slip masterbatches facilitate the processing of thermoplastic polymers, reduce friction in extrusion applications, facilitate the mold release in injection molding, provide the finished articles with smooth and glossy surfaces.

In the extrusion of thermoplastic polymers, processing problems like melt-fracture, sharkskin, die build-up, reduced output, and poor optical properties are often noticed. With the addition of Processing Aid masterbatches these processing problems can be reduced or eliminated. Processing aids are materials that are added to improve the processability of polymeric compounds. Improved processability lowers the cost and improves the quality of the polymer. Most used processing aids are styrenes, acrylics, calcium carbonates, lubricants, silicone oils etc.

BLACK Masterbatches are available in PE, PP, EVA, ABS, PC, PET, PS and NYLON base resins for various applications.

Low smoke, zero halogen (LSZH) or Halogen-free, flame retardant (HFFR) compound is the main material to produce safety cable. Halogen free solutions that fulfill both mechanicals, flame and processibility are very challenging. High filled materials are required for high flame resistance. Some conditions during long terms applications requires environmental stress cracking resistance. Our solutions are tested on such severe conditions of moisture, temperature and mechanical stress on low and medium volage.

Impact Modifiers are substances that increase the durability of molded or extruded plastics, especially those that need to be constantly subjected to impact forces like cold weather. They are added to compounded materials to provide performance features.

Most polymers go through oxidative degradation processes during manufacturing and subsequent compounding and processing. Oxidation and heat aging are major causes of degradation of plastics. Exposure to heat and oxygen causes a chain reaction involving the formation of free-radicals, which inevitably leads to cleavage of the main chains in the polymer and degradation of the plastic. This is manifested in many difference ways including loss of shine and transparency, yellowing, surface cracking and odors. Oxidation can also result in loss of mechanical properties such as impact resistance, elongation and tensile strength.

Ferrous metals have a high carbon content which generally makes them vulnerable to rust when exposed to moisture. Mechanism: Vapor corrosion inhibitors are substances that slowly release a corrosion preventative compound from plastic films into a sealed air space, effectively protecting exposed metal surfaces. It protects by interrupting the electrochemical corrosion process caused by moisture, oxygen and contaminants in the atmosphere.
