BYK-327 is a silicone-containing surface additive for solvent-borne, solvent-free, radiation-curable, and aqueous systems. It improves leveling and provides a defoaming effect in floor coatings.

FACI CALSTEARATE-SP is a single-ingredient additive used in PVC manufacturing, specifically for rigid PVC applications. It is available in bags for convenient packaging and handling.

Armoslip® 18LF is a lubricant, both internal and external, made from stearamides. Its chemical name is octadecanamide.

Armoslip® E is an internal and external lubricant derived from amides. Its chemical name is cis-13-docosenoamide.

Ricon® 152 is a low molecular weight, liquid polybutadiene resin with moderately high vinyl functionality, offering high reactivity, exceptional hydrophobicity, and excellent processing characteristics. It is compatible with saturated and unsaturated elastomers, particularly olefinic-based and thermoplastic elastomers. As a Type II coagent, it provides excellent crosslink densities without affecting the cure rate, making it suitable for extrusions and moldings.

Loxiol® P728 BEADS is a single-ingredient solid lubricant with strong dispersing properties, compatible with bioplastics. It is biodegradable and food contact acceptable, making it suitable for use in various plastics & elastomers applications as an internal lubricant.

BYK-A 501 is a silicone-free air release additive for unsaturated polyester resins, as well as polyurethane and epoxy systems. It functions as a defoamer, effectively reducing foam in casting processes. It is compliant with DSL (Canada) and TSCA (USA) chemical inventories. This liquid additive is silicone-free and suitable for various industrial and CASE applications.

FACI CAL STEARATE-SP is a single-ingredient additive used in PVC manufacturing for rigid PVC applications. It is available in bags for easy packaging and handling.

Plastistrength® L1000 is a highly efficient acrylic lubricant designed for PVC compounding and processing. It provides excellent metal release characteristics due to its unique lubricating properties. Effective at low use levels, it minimally impacts clarity, heat stability, chemical resistance, and physical properties, making it ideal for calendering, blow molding, and extrusion applications.

Plastistrength® 562 is a high molecular weight acrylic process aid that provides enhanced melt strength and optimal PVC fusion promotion. It is specifically designed to improve filler dispersion in rigid PVC applications.

Plastistrength® 562 NA is a high molecular weight acrylic process aid that enhances melt strength and promotes optimal PVC fusion. It improves filler dispersion in rigid and semi-rigid PVC applications, including siding substrates. Available in powder form, it functions as a processing aid.

Plastistrength® 551 is a medium molecular weight acrylic process aid designed to enhance the processability of rigid and flexible vinyl compounds. It is suitable for applications such as siding, profiles, pipes, calendered sheets, and blow-molded bottles, offering improved performance at low use levels.

Teckrez® HF-100 Fully Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin is a fully hydrogenated C9 resin featuring water-white color and resistance to thermo-oxidative and UV degradation. It is ideal for elastomeric sealants requiring transparency and superior weathering properties. HF-100 enhances pot stability in packaging and assembly hot melt adhesives and is also suitable for plastics modification, pressure-sensitive tape and label adhesives, and coatings.
