Specialty polymer additives.

Specialty polymer additives. Literature is available describing the company's Maglite brand of magnesia oxide, hydroxide and carbonate products. Maglite products are utilized in elastomers, adhesives, coatings, composites and various other polymer systems, according to the company. Maglite D is the ASTM standard for magnesium oxide additives for testing polychloroprene compounds. Literature is also available on the company's specialty plasticizers for the rubber and PVC industries. The company's Plasthall and Paraplex high performance plasticizers are supported by commercial development scientists, materials science expertise, and a fully equipped formulation and testing laboratory. Also described are Suprmix plasticizers offered in a dry powder form. These products combine low or high viscosity liquids, resins or liquid polymers with hydrated amorphous silica. The resulting product delivers the active liquid as a dry powdered product. The most important advantage of the Suprmix products is their ease of handling, according to the literature. Suprmix dry powdered products allow customers to eliminate handling high viscosity liquids, improve dispersion in the batch, reduce batch incorporation time and eliminate disposal problems associated with 55-gallon steel drums, according to the literature.
