Wells Plastics UV Stabilizers & Absorbers allows parts for prolonged outdoor use, and in different climates with differing levels of UV light exposure, to be designed with a high level of confidence that they adequately fulfill their service life and performance requirements.

Wells Block - Antiblocks are non-migratory additives and therefore, in coextruded structures, need to be present in the outer layers.

WellsDry - Desiccant is material that will attract and chemically bind moisture. Desiccants can offer a simple and economical way to eliminate moisture problems in plastics processing that can otherwise cause unattractive surface defects such as lensing, voiding, and splash marks in the finished product.

WellsSlip - Slips are added to reduce the surface coefficient of friction of polymers and are used to enhance either processing or end applications.

WellsFlam - Flame Retardant can be added to a polymer to improve its fire resistance properties by increasing the materials ignition temperature, reducing flame propagation speeds and reducing smoke emissions.

WellsStat - Antistatics can be added to polymers to minimize the natural tendency of most plastics to accumulate static charges. Antistatics are based mainly based on migratory additive systems, which can give fast and long term stable antistatic properties. Migratory additives rely upon the presence of atmospheric humidity to give optimum performance.

WellsClean - Purge and Cleaning Compounds contain a synergistic combination of chemical and abrasive cleaning agents to remove degraded materials and other foreign contamination from the extruder. It is advisable to have a regular scheduled purge program to keep degraded materials to a minimum.

Wells Plastics Oxo-biodegradables - Reverte is designed specifically to address the issue of plastic waste that gets into the environment and cannot be realistically collected.

Bactiglas™ Wells Plastics Antimicrobials is being successfully used in medical, healthcare and white goods applications with and has FDA, EPA and EFSA food contact registration and approvals.

WellsAid - Processing Aids are designed to improve the melt processability and handling of high molecular weight polymers. They can also give finished articles improved esthetic properties by removing flow marks and die lines thereby improving the parts gloss and clarity.

Wells Plastics Stabilizers - Antioxidants interfere with the oxidative cycle, thereby inhibiting the oxidative degradation process.

WellsScent - Fragrances are becoming much more sophisticated and demanding with customers requiring more complex and bespoke fragrances. In addition to the increase in sophistication there is also a demand for the fragrance to be stronger in odor and longer lasting in performance. Whilst in reality these are two competing requirements Wells have developed systems which incorporate a novel odor retention additive. This allows higher loadings of fragrance to be achieved in the masterbatch and a more controlled release.

WellsLite - Blowing Agents can allow the polymer processor to achieve weight reduction and use less raw materials by introducing a finely controlled cell structure within the polymer.
