New Additives Products

UV Absorber adds UVA and UVB protection to sunscreens.

Optisol(TM) ultraviolet (UV) filter consists of titanium dioxide formulation with manganese, which absorbs UVA and acts to stop formation of free radicals in titanium dioxide. Featuring photostable formulation that will not be broken down by sun, product composition also helps to protect cosmetic additives from UV damage, allowing them to retain efficacy for longer period of time.

Surfactant helps reduce use of flame retardants.

NIAX(TM) silicone L-650 is used in flame retardant grades of polyurethane slabstock foam used in furniture, bedding, and automotive products to reduce amount of combustion modification additives. It can be applied in conventional foam manufacturing processes as well as in those that use CO2 as auxiliary blowing agent. Product delivers very fine cell structure in CO2 processes and boosts...

Microspheres bolster properties of paint and coatings.

SPHERICELÃ-® 60P18 and 34P30 are 18 and 30 micron glass microspheres, respectively, designed to improve scrub and burnish properties, viscosity control, thermal insulation, and sound dampening characteristics of paint and coatings. Colorless glass construction will not discolor light or pastel formulations, and low-energy surface minimizes friction and drag. With densities of 0.60 and 0.34...

Engineered Lubricants work on wood-plastic composites.

STRUKTOLÃ-® TPW 104 is designed for use in polyolefin compounds, whereas TPW 113 is designed for use in polyolefin-wood composites where formulation contains reactive chemical coupling agents. Suited for use in polyolefin and styrenic compounds, TPW 101 general-purpose lubricant blend improves pigment and filler dispersion and eliminates edge tearing. TPW 012 combines internal and external...

Choosing the Right Load Ring for Your Needs

A Temper® Load Ring, also known as a Constant Force Adjustable Spacer, is a precision ring designed to perform as a predictable constant force element. It is fabricated from ductile, high strength stainless alloys.

Multipurpose Additive increases film blocking efficiency.

Ampacet 102765 increases blocking efficiency in thin-gauge olefin films while reducing haze and coefficient of friction. Combining mineral and organic antiblocking agents, multifunctional additive does not affect sealability and can act as release agent in packaging for products where film must separate from contents. Product is targeted at high-clarity, flexible packaging used in food bag...

Additive improves cold temperature diesel fuel flow.

USA B-20 WINTERIZER(TM) ULTRA SOY ADDITIVE(TM) improves cold temperature fuel flow down to -30Ã-

Concrete Additive provides slip-resistant surfaces.

SURE-STEP(TM) finely ground polymer material is added to concrete sealers for slip resistance. In addition to providing chemical and abrasion resistance, material is more comfortable to bare feet than sand or aggregate additives. Due to low density, SURE-STEP stays suspended in thin materials. It is packaged in 3.2 and 16 oz containers.

Coalescent targets US architectural coatings market.

Optifilm Enhancer 400 can be used as sole coalescent in products such as low-odor, low-VOC paints or it can be blended with Texanol Ester Alcohol or Eastman EEH solvent to further optimize balance between VOC and performance properties.

Additive allows laser marking of transparent products.

When dissolved into solvent-based coatings, DataLase Clear enables images to be transferred into transparent media via laser without interfering with translucency of substrate. Additive is non-hazardous, and low power laser output prevents burning of substrate. DataLase Clear is compatible with wide range of binder systems and ketonic, aromatic, and ester solvents. Additive is suitable for laser...

Fuel Additive allows production of all gasoline grades.

Engineered to provide formulation flexibility and streamline production efficiency, UltraZol(TM) 8219 gasoline detergent additive keeps clean engines clean and makes dirty engines cleaner. Able to be pumped at temperatures down to -30-°F, product meets EPA's 1997 Final Rule Regulation for lowest additive concentration for minimum level of cleanliness for bulk fuel as specified in Clean Air Act,...
