Guard™ LAO-325 is Heat is a necessary function for molding plastics. However, under higher than normal processing temperatures, it may be necessary to add an additional stabilizer to maintain the integrity of the polymer. Degradation of polymers, due to excessive heat, can have an effect on the process, product stability and screw barrel contamination. Another factor of concern for the industry is the increased use of PCR. Antioxidant additions to the combinations of virgin and PCR resins can provide the heat stability needed to maintain a healthy polymer. Our solutions range from a single functional antioxidant, for processing with higher heat conditions, to multifunctional products that improve heat stability as well as long-term heat aging.

Restore™ is an increased demand for post consumer regrind in the plastics industry and we have developed a product that improves the quality of regrind (PCR). The change in the physicals can be altered by adding our additive during the plastic processing step. We have experienced improvements to the physicals in P/P, Homo, PP copolymer, HDPE.

Foam™ LBA-135 are foaming agents have been used to reduce the densities of molded and extruded thermoplastics. Today, this need is receiving more attention because of the desire to make plastics more sustainable. This can be accomplished by reducing the amount of plastic needed to make a finished product. By reducing the density, you have reduced the amount of plastic used to make molded parts and extruded products, thereby reducing your carbon footprint. Liquid foaming agents can be metered precisely into the melt flow to achieve the desired level of density reduction and are produced without a heat history eliminating pre-decomposition concerns. The selection of endothermic, exothermic, or a combination of both is available in our product line. Processing with liquid endothermic foaming agents will also reduce the energy required for your process.

Zero™ AST-145 are processing aid agents prevent the buildup of static electric charges that occur on the surface of plastic parts while processing, and also functions as an excellent mold release agent so that cycle times can be shortened. Overall, with multi cavity molds, it provides good mold release of parts affected by mold design, polymer chemistry, PCR incorporation or other factors inhibiting faster cycles and prevents nesting of parts on conveyor belts for pack out. Additionally, reducing the static charge eliminates dust collecting on the surface of your parts.

Speed™ NUC-138 is liquid nucleating agents improve the physical properties of semi-crystalline polyolefins. This results in fast crystallization rates, which allows for improved cycle times and better production capacity along with quality. When our clarifying agent is added to polypropylene, the size of crystalline structures of the polymer reduces to improve the stiffness and clarity. Additionally, when added to the process, the rate of crystal initiation is increased dramatically so the crystals become smaller in size therefore clarifying the polypropylene. Our solutions will perform to meet the needs of a well-nucleated product by offering a combination of high crystalline temperature in the polymer with the most isotropic (uniform) shrinkage in your finished product.
