Clearstrength® XT152 is high performance toughening agent tailored for low polar methacrylic resins.

Exolit® AP 750 is a non-halogenated flame retardant based on ammonium polyphosphate as main component, which develops its effectiveness through phosphorus/nitrogen synergism. In contrast to similar competitive material, it shows high processing stability. Exolit® AP 750 differs in its mode of action from non phosphorus-based flame retardants (e. g. brominated, chlorinated or mineral FRs like ATH) by achieving its effect through intumescence. Material containing Exolit® AP 750 will foam on exposure to flame. The carbon-rich foam layer so formed will protect the polymer and in many cases the substrate below through its heat insulating effect, reduces further oxygen access and prevents dripping in case of a thermoplastic based formulation. Beyond the primary effects on fire behavior such as reduction of flame propagation rate, rate of heat release, dripping behavior, residual lengths of test specimens after flame tests etc., positive secondary fire effects such as low smoke density, no release of corrosive off-gasses, lower formation of toxic smoke gasses are of great interest.

Licocare® RBW 560 powder TP Vita is a high-performing additive based on renewable, non-food competing feedstock that provides a unique combination of lubrication and nucleation in engineering plastics, particularly in polyester compounds formulated for use in the EandE-, packaging-, medical- or transportation industries. Given its favorable chemical structure, Licocare® RBW 560 powder TP Vita shows excellent thermal stability and favorable migration characteristics in the finished product. In addition to the excellent nucleation effect of the Licocare® RBW 560 powder TP Vita, Licocare® RBW 560 powder TP Vita also has outstanding lubrication and mold release effects. Licocare® RBW 560 powder TP Vita is effective at concentrations of 0.1 - 0.5% in polyester.

Durastrength® 600 is an acrylic core shell impact modifier designed to impart excellent toughening properties to polyester and alloys containing polyester resins, such as PET, recycled PET (rPET) and engineering resin blends containing polyesters like PC/PET, PC/ABS/PET and PBT/PET. Durastrength® 600 impact modifier offers outstanding long-term weather resistance and is ideal for outdoor applications.

3M™ Glass Bubbles iM16K are high-strength polymer additives made from a water-resistant and chemically-stable soda-lime borosilicate glass. These hollow glass microspheres can be used as a low density filler material ideal for plastic and rubber parts created from injection molding, extrusion processes, or other vigorous processing equipment (e.g., Banbury mixers, etc.), offering improved processing over many conventional fillers. They can reduce final part weight by 15% or more without compromising the mechanical integrity. 3M™ Glass Bubbles iM16K help to reduce weight, improve dimensional stability, reduce shrinkage and sink marks, and contribute to material and process cost savings. They may be ideal additive materials for applications in the automotive, heavy truck, aerospace, electrical, sports and leisure, electronics, appliance and durable goods industries. 3M glass bubbles are also valuable in construction products such as polymer/wood composites and siding helping not only to reduce part weight, but also to improve dimensional stability and nail-ability.

3M™ Glass Bubbles S42XHS-OG-ES-1 are high-strength polymer additives made from a water-resistant and chemically-stable soda-lime borosilicate glass. 3M glass bubbles S42XHS-OG-ES-1 have been treated with a proprietary silane coupling agent for use in applications with unsaturated Polyesters, Acrylics, EVA and Polyolefins. These hollow glass microspheres can be used as a low density filler material ideal for liquid thermoset as well as thermoplastic and rubber parts created from molding, extrusion processes, and/or other vigorous processing equipment (e.g., Banbury mixers, etc.), offering improved processing over many conventional fillers. 3M glass bubbles S42XHS-OG-ES-1 may help to reduce weight, improve dimensional stability, reduce shrinkage and sink marks, and contribute to material and process cost savings. They may be ideal additive materials for applications in the automotive, heavy truck, aerospace, electrical, sports and leisure, electronics, appliance and durable goods industries, as well as in construction products such as polymer, wood composites and siding helping not only to reduce part weight, but also to improve dimensional stability.

3M™ Boron Nitride Cooling Fillers 003SF are engineered to improve thermal conductivity in polymers while maintaining or improving electrical insulation. Their unique properties make these additives suitable for many thermoplastic, elastomer and thermoset resins used in a wide variety of electrical and electronic applications – including thermal interface materials (TIM), consumer electronics and automotive applications.

Licolub® WE 60 flakes is a fatty acid of polyols.
