Cel-Span® CFA 844 is a highly loaded 80% active endothermic foaming agent formulated for applications with high gas requirements. Cel-Span® CFA 844 concentrate releases carbon dioxide gas 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, a color common to endothermic chemical foaming agents.

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 333 is a compounded product intended for clear films containing a high level of thermal stabilizers to provide protection of film resins during high temperature extrusion and lamination processes, thus maximizing inherent the natural resins. Cel-Span® Process Aid 333 eliminates build up in both internal and external metal surfaces of the extrusion die, as well as reduction of wrinkles in thin gage films.

Cel-Span® Process Aid 610L is a processing concentrate in a compatible resin carrier used in extrusion and injection processes to enhance flow and reduce the processing temperature while increasing productivity for all types of polyolefin resins. Cel-Span® Process Aid 610L contains a unique additive that enhances the flow characteristics of polyolefin resins, reduces cycle time, while improving mold filling in multiple cavity molds. In extrusion and blow molding applications, Cel-Span® Process Aid 610L enhances flow and reduces processing temperature of polyolefin resins as much as 30 to 50 degrees. This reduction in processing and melt temperatures results in less polymer degradation, better color, lower cycle time and higher output especially in sheet, injection molding,and blow molding applications, and extrusion applications.

Cel-Span® S 310 is a compounded antioxidant concentrate in HDPE & LLDPE blends to provide thermal stabilization to polymers at high temperatures and during routine maintenance shut-down procedures. Cel-Span® S 310 is an effective shut down stabilizer for all polyolefin resins. It is used to protect these materials from thermal degradation during exposure to processing temperatures maximizing the inherent physical properties of the natural resins. When used at a 5-10% level, Cel-Span® S 310 can be left in extruders, dies, and other process equipment during routine maintenance “shut down and start up” procedures, to prevent unwanted polymer degradation, and help keep the process equipment clean and free of black specs and degradation.

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® Purge 385 is a multipurpose, binary engineered thermoplastic purging compound, formulated for blown film equipment. 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® 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.
