Optislip™ ER (Bead)

by Cargill

Optislip™ ER (Bead) by Cargill acts as an anti-block and slip agent in polyolefins that provides high slip at low dosage levels. It offers mold & torque release, scuff- & scratch resistance, good oxidative stability and excellent heat stability. <ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It disperses evenly through the polymer in the melt phase and migrates to the surface where it forms a thin lubricating layer that reduces the coefficient of friction between surfaces and reduces unwanted adhesion.</li> <li>Optislip™ ER (Bead) is suitable for PVC, polyamide, EVA, TPE and polyolefin applications.</li> <li>Recommended addition level is 500-2000 ppm for films and 0.2-1.0% for molding applications.</li> <li>It has a shelf life of 365 days.</li></ul>

Millad® NX® 8000

by Milliken

Millad® NX® 8000 by Milliken is a clarifying agent designed for clear polypropylene. It allows polypropylene to approach the look of high clarity plastics like polystyrene and polycarbonate. This additive offers improved appearance, attractive shelf appeal, cleaner look and better quality. It provides improved plate-out performance in EBM or TF, due to increased solubility and higher affinity for PP. It displays consistent optical performance with broad variation in extrusion and processing temperatures and speeds. It delivers reduced cooling & cycle time from lower molding temperatures and higher Tc. Millad® NX® 8000 also delivers improved productivity and energy savings from reduced processing temperatures.

CHARGUARD™ 2000

by Elementis

CHARGUARD™ 2000 by Elementis is an organically modified mineral thickener. It is suitable for suitable for compounding in combination with fire retardants in low to intermediate polarity thermoplastic resin systems. It does not contain intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). <ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It enhances the effectiveness of non-halogenated and halogenated fire retardants by delaying the combustion process and stopping the spread of molten flame drip.</li><li>It creates char layer oxygen barrier which is non-flammable and reduces the availability of combustible gases generated during thermal decomposition.</li><li>It reduces the amount of smoke produced in a fire, which is a significant factor in improving fire safety and survivability.</li><li>It is suitable for halogen-free flame retardant thermoplastic compounds such as ethylene-vinyl acetate co-polymer (EVA), low density polyethylene (LDPE), high impact styrene (HIPS), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (nylon 6) and polylactic acid (PLA).</li><li>Recommended dosage level is 3.5%-5% as supplied based on total formulation weight.</li><li>CHARGUARD™ 2000 has a shelf life of 4 years.</li></ul>
