GMS are additive masterbatch concentrates, available in a uniform pelletized shape, that offer prevention against cell collapse and cell stabilization in PE and LDPE microcellular foam. A major additional feature is protection against static build-up on foam parts during and post extrusion, and especially during the take-off of foamed sheet. GMS is typically offered as GMS-2004, a 20% concentrate of the GMS additive in a LDPE carrier. Other GMS additive levels, such as 10% to 40%, are available upon special request. The usage level of GMS-2004 typically falls within the range of 2 to 10%, depending upon the application.

Talc nucleator are additive masterbatch concentrates designed for the nucleation of both commodity and engineering thermoplastic resins. Talc Nucleators typically contain 40 to 60 % by weight of talc in a PE, PP, or PS carrier. Other carriers, and other talc levels, such as 25%, are available upon request. About 80% of the talc particle size used in these products is less than 1 micron, with the remaining particle sizes ranging from 1 to 5 microns. Talc Nucleators are typically used as physical nucleating agents for extruded foam, and are generally used at a 0.4 to 2.0% let-down level, depending upon the application. These products are available in a uniform pellet shape, eliminating the processing concerns associated with dusts or powders.

PolySept® antimicrobial is created to provide continuous antimicrobial product protection. In order to provide a wide range of antimicrobial solutions, PolyChem Alloy®, Inc. (PCA) has established a portfolio of antimicrobial masterbatches and additives to suit a vast array of application needs. Trade named PolySept®, the made-to-order masterbatches typically contain 10% - 50% of an antimicrobial agent formulated into a plastic resin such as PE, PP, PS, ABS, PA, PBT, and PC.

PolyFoam are additive masterbatch concentrates containing highly specialized chemical blowing agents. This product was specifically created for the production of microcellular foam structures in a variety of thermoplastic materials. PolyFoam products are available containing endothermic blowing agents, exothermic blowing agents, and as a combination of both.

FlexPlast® Thermoplastic Elastomer is a plastic material that combines the processing advantages of a thermoplastic with the properties and performance of a rubber-like material. The product is a soft, flexible, highly elastic material that can be custom formulated to perform in a variety of processes, including injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and thermoforming. These lower modulus, flexible materials can typically be stretched repeatedly, only to return to their original shape when relaxed. When heated, FlexPlast® will soften until it flows, making it suitable for formation into complex shapes using standard thermoplastic processing equipment.
