Phoenix Plastics

Phoenix Plastics Polydegrade is one of the industries most cost effective Oxo-Degradable additives on the market. It provides excellent thermal stability and more controlled degradability of the polymer without issues such as yellowing, odors, or pre-degradation. The additives used in manufacturing Polydegrade are non-heavy metal or oxide based; this results in more eco-friendly by-products released into the environment. The use of Polydegrade in polyethylene film applications such as T-shirt bags or grocery bags, both manufactured with TiO2 and CaCO3, can significantly affect degradation results. Polydegrade has addressed these issues resulting in very controlled rates of degradation, process ability and thermal stability, when exposed to outside environments of short-wave UV light (300nm – 400nm), heat, and oxygen.

Cel-Span® Purge 388 is a transition purge that contains several proprietary additives that are essential in the cleansing cycle of high temperatures and lower melting polyolefins. Temperatures above 500 °F may cause material to smoke. Cel-Span® Purge 388 can be used directly without any mixing necessary to clean most plastic equipment during color and resin changes. The unique additives and resin system in Cel-Span® Purge 388 makes it possible to cleanse color resins in less time, in most resin applications.

Cel-Span® Process Aid 315N is an effective compatibilizer and coupling additive with an additional stabilizing package added with regrind Polypropylene and Polyethylene applications in mind. Cel-Span® Process Aid 315N recommended usage is 1.5% to 3.0%. We also recommend that the rear zone temperatures are reduced by 15% – 20% and the front zone by 5% – 10%. Compatibilization of dissimilar resins is achieved through a non-acidic means to prevent additional degradation of the previously compromised regrind systems being utilized. The use of Cel-Span® Process Aid 315N increases physical properties by 10% - 20% depending on types of materials used and regrind conditions. Fiberglass is better orientated with the use of Cel-Span® Process Aid 315N allowing improved izod and tensile rating with enhanced gloss and esthetics.

Cel-Span® Process Aid 305 contains a powerful water-seeking additive that chemically combines and eliminates lensing and porosity in blown and cast extrusion, injection, compounding, and pipe applications caused by surface moisture or incorporated into the resin during processing. CelSpan® Process Aid 305 contains a very effective additive that chemically traps water to eliminate moisture. This product can be used to eliminate moisture in high temperature engineering resins such as nylon and is utilized by metering in at 2% - 5% depending on the level of moisture.

Cel-Span® Process Aid 705 is a product recommended as a replacement for the traditional phenolic and hindered amine combination for the thermal and ultraviolet stabilization of polyester resins during high temperature processing. Cel-Span® Process Aid 705 enhances the process window of Polyester and PET resins. In addition, this product maintains the IV (Intinsic Viscosity) of Polyester and PET resins coupled with excellent UV stability. Cel-Span® Process Aid 705 also provides protection to caustic environment and bleach resistance to Polyester and PET resins with both bottle and fiber grade products. It is important that this product be used at 2% - 3% with the Polyester or PET resin before the fabrication or molding process to take advantage of the excellent properties of the unique masterbatch. It will insure that the polyester resin is protected through the molding and life cycle of the parts

Cel-Span® Process Aid 606C in a polycarbonate resin carrier used in extrusion and injection processes to compatilize dissimilar resins into polycarbonate, couple additives and enhance flow and reduce the processing temperature and increase productivity for all polycarbonate resins. Cel-Span® Process Aid 606C contains a unique additive that enhances the flow characteristics of polycarbonate resins in injection molding processes, reducing the cycle time while improving mold filling in multiple cavity molds. In compounding, extrusion, blow molding applications, Cel-Span® Process Aid 606C also couples additives such as minerals, fiberglass, and flame retardants to polycarbonate resins, while increasing distribution. Compatilization of dissimilar resins, which might have contaminated resin streams, can be manufactured into more homogeneous matrices at lower percents without the use of acid type of compatilizers, which could increase decomposition of various resins. The reduction in processing and melt temperatures results in less polymer degradation, better color, lower cycle time and higher output especially in injection, blow molding and sheet applications. This product has no effect on the high clarity performance of most polycarbonate resins.

Cel-Span® CFA 200 is a 50% active Binary foaming agent specially formulated with activators and self-nucleating agents that contribute to uniform cell formation and smooth surfaces. CelSpan® CFA 200 concentrate releases mostly N2 and CO2 gasses upon decomposition. This product is safe when used under the conditions of intended use. Upon complete decomposition (activation) of the C.F.A., the extruded and injected parts will become white, similar in color to endothermic chemical foaming agents. Cel-Span® CFA 200 is recommended for extrusion, injection, and structural molding of any kind of thermoplastics, except polycarbonate and thermoplastic polyesters.

Cel-Span® Process Aid 101 is a 100% active (powder or pellet) internal lubricant processing aid with anti-static properties that are incorporated into the resin. Cel-Span® Process Aid 101 eliminates the need for an external mold release agent and improves resin flow, dispersion, resin additives ex:(reinforcements, fillers, and pigments), and reduces cycle time. The use of Cel-Span® Process Aid 101 will not have an adverse effect on the physical properties. Compatible with Polyethylene, Polystyrene, and Polypropylene.

Cel-Span® CFA 899 is a 40% active endothermic foaming agent concentrate recommended for extrusion applications for a variety of thermoplastic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene, MPPO, and ABS. Cel-Span® CFA 899 is recommended for extrusion, and structural foam molding of applications that require a very fine cell structure compared to a typical endothermic foaming agent in esthetic applications.
