• Acrylonitrile Copolymers
• AES Terpolymer
• Antioxidants

  Vulkanox antioxidant and antiozonant products protect against oxygen, heat, and unoriented crack formulation (crazing), and are also effective, to some extent, against fatigue. Several nonstaining grades, where staining is absent or minimal, are used in light-colored and transparent applications.

• Antistats
• Biocides
• Color Concentrates, Liquid or Paste

  Bayplast chromatic organic pigments designed for easy dispersement demonstrate high heat resistance and good to excellent lightfastness. Line consists of quinacridones, perylenes and phthalos. Patented granular form offers advantages, which include low dusting for quicker cleanup and a positive environmental impact, higher bulk density for easier and cheaper storage, free flowing for ease of incorporation and use with automatic metering systems, and a better solubility for greater dispersibility and processing.

  Macrolex and Ceres dyes have good transparency, high tinting strength and ease of use. Macrolex also supplied in microgranular form.

  Bayferrox synthetic iron oxide pigments based on the Laux manufacturing process demonstrate superior  performance characteristics, particularly when used with polyolefins and are available in various shades of red, black and yellow as well as blended browns. Reds are temperature stable to about 1000 C.

  Colortherm yellow iron oxides and zinc ferrites with improved temperature capabilities offer superior lightfastness, can be compounded in concentrate, and find applications in polyolefins and some engineering plastics.

  Lightfast mixed metal oxide pigments offer high temperature stability, superior lightfastness and resin compatibility. Products, which are not blends, result from solid-state synthetic reactions that take place under calcination conditions; and include lemon yellows, blues, greens and black.

• Cooling-water Treatment Chemicals
• Crosslinking Agents for Thermoplastics
• Epoxy Hardeners
• Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)
• Fillers--Mineral or Other Inorganic Type
• Flame Retardant Concentrates

  Disflamoll phosphoric acid esters serve as flame-retardant plasticizers in PVC. Line includes various aryl, alkyl, and alkylaryl esters.

• Flame Retardants/Smoke Suppressants

  Disflamoll phosphoric acid esters serve as flame-retardant plasticizers in PVC. Line includes various aryl, alkyl, and alkylaryl esters.

• Impact Modifiers

  Baymod ABS powder modifiers for PVC include products for rigid indoor and exterior weatherable applications. They provide improved impact resistance and heat-distortion temperatures for PVC alloys used for injection molding and extrusion. Applications include business-machine housings, profile extrusions, and semi-flexible or rigid calendered thermoformable sheets.

  Baymod EVA copolymers can be used as weatherable impact modifiers for rigid vinyl extrusions such as window profiles.

  Levapren AVA copolymers act as "permanent plasticizers" for flexible compounds requiring improved extraction resistance and aging properties.

• Melamine
• Nylon/Abs Alloys
• Nylon--Amorphous
• Nylons - Other
• Nylon--Type 6
• Nylon--Type 66
• Plasticizers

  Mesamoll plasticizer based on alkyl sulfonic ester of a phenol is said to have superior compatibility with PVC, resulting in flexible vinyls with good mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. Mesamoll and Mesamoll II lower-volatility versions also used in PUR caulk/sealant compounds where properties of low viscosity, hydrolysis resistance, extraction resistance and good solvency are needed.

  Ultramoll 66M micronized powder version of dicyclohexyl phthalate can be useful in improving storage stability and fusing characteristics of low-temperature-fusing vinyl plastisols.

  Disflamoll phosphate esters are used to impart flame retardance and flexibility to plasticized vinyls. Products include a range of aryl, alkylaryl and alkyl esters.
