Glide™ SL-105 is a Plastic processing often needs a slip agent to assist in polymer flow and provide internal and external slip characteristics. Friction characteristics, when processing polymers, requires slip/lubricants in order to improve cycle times, improve dispersion, assist mold release and improve assembly of molded parts. The amount of slip depends on the process and end use requirements. Consumer packaging requirements often need slip for the finished product, but the plastic processor may also need it to improve processing and plastic parts assembly.

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.

Shield™ LST-296 is liquid light stabilizers are effective in a broad range of plastics and can help achieve long-term sustainability goals as in the recycling of plastics. We have products formulated with hindered amines (HALS) and UV absorbers. For certain applications, we offer blends of these two products for improved performance. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun will need the combination of HALS and antioxidants for long-term stability. Polymer photo-oxidation is a combined action of light and oxygen. The visible result of this action is deterioration of the appearance of the polymer as well as mechanical and chemical concerns. Our products can protect against these conditions. We also offer UV absorbers that protect the contents of plastics packaging from ultraviolet rays up to 390 nm.
