Cel-Span® S 100 is a compounded additive for color stabilization and dispersion. A unique proprietary compounding technique makes it possible to pelletize the entire active stabilizer and dispersant in the formulation without adding additional heat history. Cel-Span® S 100 should be utilized at 0.25% to 1% consistently during the color concentration manufacturing processes for stabilization and dispersion. Cel-Span® S 100 also lessens degradation of pigments and enhances the brightness of color concentrates. The pigment is initially dispersed by dispersing agents in order to prevent the formation of uncontrolled flocculates; a process of contact and adhesion whereby the particles of dispersion form larger-size clusters. Stability of dispersion is a result of interplay of the heat (kinetic) energy of particles, attractive inter-particle forces, and repulsive forces; this also helps to limit short-range Van der Waals forces.

Gaia® Antimicrobial AB 504 is an organic concentrate produced from citrus extracts that control or retard the growth of bacteria, fungus, and algae in plastic rotational molded parts. Gaia® Antimicrobial AB 504 is a powerful additive concentrate produced in an LLDPE carrier resin for ease of dispersion. Gaia® Antimicrobial AB 504 is used in the inner core of the rotationally molded structures. This product is used especially in molded polyethylene water tanks used throughout Latin America

Cel-Span® FR 680 is a highly loaded 80% concentrate flame retardant tailored for a variety of applications including injection molding and sheet extrusion. Cel-Span® FR 680 was designed to be a cost effective retardant made for polyethylene requirements including the Boston Fire Department Test and the NFPA – 701 small scale test. The use of Cel-Span® FR 680 will result in excellent flame retardancy to pass several flammability requirements. Flame testing has shown that recommended levels between 8% - 25% are intended as guidelines, but optimization is necessary for each application because of the differences between equipment, resin systems, additives and flame retardancy requirements.

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.

Gaia® Antimicrobial AB 505 is an organic concentrate that helps to control or retard the growth of bacteria, fungus, and algae in plastic molded parts. Gaia® Antimicrobial AB 505 is a powerful additive concentrate produced in an LLDPE carrier resin for ease of dispersion. This product has been used in film, injection molding, and extrusion applications to control growth of bacteria, yeast, mold, and algae. In independent testing, Gaia® Antimicrobial AB 505 has been shown to inhibit ecoli and staphylococcus. A loading of 1.5% - 3% will protect plastic articles for an estimated 1 – 2 years. Recommended temperature range should not reach above 428°F.

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 701 is a molecular concentrate used as a replacement for the traditional metal halides for stabilization of Nylons at high temperatures. This product is used at 1% - 3% active level depending on the type of compound and processing conditions. Cel-Span® Process Aid 701 also provides gloss, ozone, and bleach resistance to nylon fibers, without the use of metal halide stabilizers.
