+GLOBAL PLUS™
SEALED ADDITIVES.

Plastic processing often needs a slip agent to assist in polymer flow and provide internal and external slip characteristics. +Glide™ can improve cycle times, dispersion, along with the assembly and release of molded parts, all creating energy savings. Consumer packaging requirements often need slip for the finished product, and the processor may need slip to improve processing and plastic parts assembly.

We offer liquid light stabilizers that are formulated with hindered amines (HALS) as well as light stabilizers that are formulated with UV absorbers. We also offer blends of HALS with UV absorbers for improved performance depending on end use application. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun will need the combination of HALS and antioxidants for long-term stability and product recyclability. +Shield™ offers protection in two ways, against photo-oxidation and it can protect plastic packaging from ultraviolet rays up to 390 nm.

Our liquid nucleating agents improve the physical properties of semi-crystalline polyolefins, which improve cycle times, production capacity and quality, and provide energy savings. When our clarifying agent is added to polypropylene, the size of crystalline structures in 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, clarifying the polypropylene. +Speed™ offers a combination of high crystalline temperature in the polymer with the most isotropic (uniform) shrinkage in your finished product.

For higher processing temperatures, adding additional antioxidant stabilizer can maintain the integrity of the polymer. Degradation of polymers, due to excessive heat, can affect the process, product stability and screw barrel contamination. Antioxidant additions to the combinations of virgin and PCR resins can provide heat stability to maintain a healthy polymer. +Guard™ solutions range from a single functional antioxidant, for processing with higher heat conditions, to multifunctional products that improve heat stability and recyclability.

Our processing aid agents prevent the buildup of static electric charges that occur on the surface of plastic parts while processing, and also function as an excellent mold release agent so that cycle times can be shortened, resulting in energy savings. With multi cavity molds, +Zero™ provides good mold release of parts affected by mold design, polymer chemistry and PCR incorporation. It both prevents nesting of parts on conveyor belts for pack out and eliminates dust collecting on the parts' surfaces.

Foaming agents reduce the densities of molded and extruded thermoplastics, require less resin per part, and decrease a product's carbon footprint. +Foam™ can be metered precisely into the melt flow to achieve the desired level of density reduction and is produced without a heat history, eliminating pre-decomposition concerns. Our +Foam™ options can not only reduce part weight, but other benefits include sink removal and reduced warpage in finished parts . Our product line offers the selection of endothermic, exothermic, or a combination of both agents.

There are many situations where a slight change in resin dispersion and flow characteristics would benefit the process as well as the product. Along with providing energy savings, +Gains™ can solve processing problems such as poor dispersion, black specks, easier flow properties, better mold release, improved surface characteristics, and reduction in stress along with heating.

+Clean™ is an inorganic silver based antimicrobial, which inhibits the growth of gram-positive/gram-negative bacteria, mold and yeast. Untreated plastic products run the risk of microbial growth causing unsightly discoloration, staining, unpleasant odors as well as deterioration and corrosion of manufactured products. +Clean™ improves a product's recyclability and optimizes color retention in both indoor and outdoor environments.

+Restore™ improves the quality of regrind (PCR). The change in the physicals can be altered by adding our additive during the plastic processing step, and it works equally well in both extrusion and molding processes. We've experienced improvements to the physicals in P/P, Homo, PP copolymer, and HDPE. When pigments, glass fibers, or other fillers are added, +Restore™ also creates strong bonds between these particles and the resin.
