Compatibilizers GMA functional polymers Additive range designed to improve performance of specialty blends of polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/ASA, PC/PBT, ABS/PBT and ABS/PET. Thermal Stabilizers GMA functional polymers Compatibilizers and impact modifiers, with enhance thermal stability for engineering thermoplastics, and their alloys. Chain Extenders GMA functional polymers Polymer chain extenders, for post consumer PC, PA, PET and PLA to improve their processing abilities. Flow Modifiers Specialty resins Flow modifiers, for FR-ABS, heat resistant ABS, high gloss ABS and PC/ABC alloys. Melt Strength Enhancers Specialty resins Branched SAN resin, improved hot melt strength of ABS, PC/ABS, blow moulding grade and sheet grade. Specialty Polysiloxane Additives (Dow) Materials Chemistry Applications Dowsil 11-100 Organo-modified siloxane Used generally in halogen free, low smoke wire and cable applications as a flame retardant synergist, to enhance LOI and UL94 performance. It can also be used to offer reduced ATH loadings, replacing with CaCO3 to reduce overall compound cost whilst maintain FR performance. Dowsil 4-7081 4-7081 PE Siloxane powders 100% halogen free additives, recommended for use as process aids in halogen free, low smoke wire and cable compounds. Grades can offer reduced rotor torque in highly filled compounds, as well as reducing die drool, and water absorption. Dowsil 30-424 Methacryloxy functional silicone elastomer powder Light diffusion additives for polycarbonates and polystyrene, offering a good balance of optical performance, with regards to haze, transmittance, and diffusion effect. Dowsil DC 31-441 solid silicone polymer for use as an additive in polyamide (PA)based composites Improves the extrusion process by decreasing screw torque and melt temperature, and has a dual effect on surface properties by reducing coefficient of friction (COF) and improving scratch resistance. Dowsil 40-001 Organo-functional siloxane Flame retardant additive for polycarbonate, 100% halogen free, offering ability to meet UL94 V-0 FR specification in clear and colored polycarbonate applications.
