Cel-Span® Purge 385 is a cleansing compound specially tailored for most resins that are utilized in sheet and film extrusion processes. Cel-Span® Purge 385 contains several proprietary additives used to maximize thermal stability and reduce degradation and oxidative by-products occurring during the manufacturing process as well other contaminants produced in most olefinic resin processes.

Cel-Span® Purge 300FG contains several proprietary additives plus short-strand fiberglass that are essential in the cleansing process of high temperatures as well as lower melting polyolefins. Cel-Span® Purge 300FG was also created to be the least cost prohibitive glass filled cleansing compound on the market. Cel-Span® Purge 300FG 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 300FG, makes it possible to purge color resins like Polyolefins, A.B.S., Styrenics as well as PC and Nylon in less time and with less smoke than most cleansing compounds on the market.

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.

Cel-Span® Purge 300HT-FG contains several proprietary additives that are essential in the purging process of high temperature resins and was created to be the least cost prohibitive high temperature purge compound on the market today. Cel-Span® Purge 300HT-FG can be used directly without any mixing necessary to clean most plastic equipment during color, and resin changes. The unique additives in Cel-Span® Purge 300HT, makes it possible to purge colors and degradation in less time than other purging compounds.

Cel-Span® Purge 388FG is a transition purge that contains long and short strand fiber glass in addition to 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 388FG can be used directly without any mixing necessary to clean most plastics equipment during color and resin changes. The unique additives and resin system in Cel-Span® Purge 388FG make it possible to cleanse color resins in less time, in most resin applications.

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.

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
