Guide to Polymer Additives

Buy polymer additives to enhance the performance of your polymers

By Howard Robertson

Polymer additives are the high performance chemicals that enhance the properties of the polymers, extend their life and improve their processability. The major categories of additives in polymers include flame retardant polymer additives, antioxidants, curatives, processing aids and stabilizers.

You can use polymer additives in a number of polymers such as plastics, rubber, lubricants, fuels, epoxy, polyurethane and polyurea. Some industries that use additives for polymers include automotive, coatings, electronics, textiles, cable, paints and chemicals.

Some important parameters you must consider before buying an additive for a polymer are:

The polymer for which you want to use an additive
The specific gravity of the polymer additives
The molecular weight of the polymer additives
The cost of the polymer additives
The required quantity of the additives in polymers

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy flame retardant polymer additives from reputable manufacturers

Besides acting as fire suppressants, flame retardant polymer additives also improve electrical properties of wires and cables, resist booming and reduce fogging of urethane foams. You can buy flame-retardants from leading manufacturers.

I recommend: Albemarle Corporation is a reputable polymer additive manufacturer that provides a variety of flame-retardants. Another leading manufacturer of flame retardant additives is Great Lakes Chemical Corporation. In addition, you can also buy flame-retardants from LANXESS, one of the biggest flame-retardants manufacturers.

Buy rubber polymer additives from reputable manufacturers

Polymer additives in rubber increase abrasion resistance, reduce coefficient of friction and improve moisture barrier of rubber. You can buy rubber additives from leading suppliers.

I recommend: You can buy polymer additives for rubber from Inhance/Fluoro-Seal, a reputable polymer additives supplier. Solvay provides a variety of rubber polymer additives especially for elastomeric operations. In addition, you can also check out products offered by Emerald Performance Materials.

Buy other polymer additives and processing aids from reputable suppliers

Processing aids are the additives that improve the mixing, extrusion and calendaring behavior of the polymers. Other additives include additives in plastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene.

I recommend: You can buy processing aids from Akzo Nobel, a reputable polymer additives producer that provides polymer additives in plastics. Another leading manufacturer of polymer additives and processing aids is Western Reserve Chemical, a manufacturer of a wide variety of processing aids. In addition, you can also buy a processing aid from Mitsui Chemicals, a leading global supplier of processing aids and other polymer additives.

Buy customized polymer additives from reputable suppliers

If you have any specific requirements regarding the polymer additives and the standard products do not fulfill those requirements, then you can buy customized polymer additives from reputable suppliers.

I recommend: Sartomer Company can provide a wide range of polymer additives as per your specifications. Another leading custom manufacturer of polymer additives is Ferro Corporation.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
