Our premier polymer additives are suitable for all types of plastics, plastic products, processes, and end-use markets. We’ve developed multiple polymer families for diverse applications, such as EPS nucleation, film and sheet antiblocking, PVC lubrication, and mold release. These worldwide-recognized polymers serve as chemical intermediates, compatibilizers, dispersants, scratch-and-mar additives, lubricants, processing aids, and resin modifiers.
Optimum EPS cell nucleation
In EPS production, optimum cell nucleation enables superior finished product properties and performance, including improved density potential, faster prepuff maturation, better foam strength at a given density, faster mold cooling time, and improved molding fusion.
Our POLYWAX™ polyethylenes are unique materials that enable the formation of the small, uniformly sized cells that promote a better surface finish and lower density of the final product.
Effective mold release
From our family of microcrystalline waxes to our PETROLITE™ copolymers and our POLYWAX polyethylenes, our products meet your mold release needs whether used as an internal or external constituent or delivered through blooming, wiping, or spraying.
Enhance mold release attributes further with our functionalized polymer families, including CERAMER™ polymers, VYBAR™ polymers, DIAX™ polymers; UNICID™ acids, UNILIN™ alcohols, and UNITHOX™ ethoxylates.
Efficient plastics lubrication
Our CERAMER 67 polymer offers excellent internal lubrication for rigid PVC applications at loadings significantly lower than competitive oxidized lubricant grades.
