Optical brighteners or fluorescent whitening agent are used to make plastics, fibers, coatings, inks, and detergents appear whiter and brighter. These products function by absorbing invisible ultraviolet light and re-emitting it as visible light in the blue range of the spectrum.

Our anti-blocking agents are of the right particle size and pore volume to “micro roughness” to eliminate blocking and still deliver the optical and physical properties required for your product. We are providing a non-toxic, non-crystalline (amorphous), high-purity process aid for resin producers, masterbatch and compounding companies.

Under the effects of shear stress and mechanical loading in an oxygen environment, plastics and elastomers are generally degraded and age rapidly. This is translated by a loss of mechanical properties like strength, stiffness or flexibility and a discoloration, yellowing or loss of gloss of the plastic. Antioxidants are used to fight this degradation and extend plastics' lifetime. Antioxidants protect the polymer from heat and oxygen ageing. 

Both thermoset and thermoplastic may use special materials which are added to prevent loss of gloss, crazing, chalking, and discoloration, changes in electrical characteristics, embrittlement and disintegration due to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Additives, which protect the product by absorbing the UV, are called ultraviolet absorbers. Materials, which protect the polymer in some other manner, are known as ultraviolet stabilizers. In the event that a non-gel coated resin will be exposed to sunlight, the addition of a UV stabilizer will slow the surface degradation.

Clarifying agent improves mechanical properties such as flexural modulus and heat distortion temperature, and also increases transparency. It also improves the crystallization temperature, which leads to a shorter molding cycle, hence results in cost reduction.
