Product Categories of Clariant Additive Masterbatches

• Antiblocking Concentrates
• Antioxidant Concentrates
  Cesa-nox antioxidant masterbatches are formulated to combat thermo-oxidative decomposition at each stage of the plastic life cycle from manufacturing, drying and processing through to end use. Multiple antioxidant additives can be combined in a single masterbatch formulation to protect against different oxidative threats. Custom masterbatches also available along with masterbatches that combine active ingredients with selected pigments and dyestuffs.
• Antistat Concentrates
• Blowing Agents--Concentrates
  Wide range of Hydrocerol chemical blowing agents and nucleating agent masterbatches can be used for foaming most all commonly used thermoplastic resins and blends. Available in exothermic and endothermic formulations. In extrusion or injection molding masterbatches can reduce weight, improve performance, reduce manufacturing costs and create special surface effects. In wood/plastic composites HYDROCEROL can improve mechanical properties and processing characteristics, reduce weight, cut costs and make the composites easier to fabricate. Custom masterbatches are also available, along with masterbatches that combine active ingredients with selected pigments and dyestuffs.
• Flame Retardant Concentrates
  Cesa-flam masterbatches offer a wide range of efficient and universally usable halogenated flame retardants as well as some specific halogen-free solutions. Unlike flame retardants that are incorporated into the polymer molecule during polymerization, flame-retardant masterbatches allow variable dosing levels and thus enhance flexibility during process. Effects may be either physical or chemical, occurring in either the gaseous or solid phase. Custom masterbatches also available along with masterbatches that combine active ingredients with selected pigments and dyestuffs.
• Fragrance Additives
• Lubricant Concentrates
  Cesa-slip lubricant masterbatches improve flow characteristics of plastics during processing and also reduce frictional resistance of end-product surfaces while enhancing both appearance and function. Custom masterbatches also available along with masterbatches that combine active ingredients with selected pigments and dyestuffs.
• Processing Aids--Polymeric Type
  Cesa-slip lubricant masterbatches improve flow characteristics of plastics during processing and also reduce frictional resistance of end-product surfaces while enhancing both appearance and function. Custom masterbatches also available along with masterbatches that combine active ingredients with selected pigments and dyestuffs.
• Release Agents--Internal (Additive Type)
• Slip Agent Concentrates
• UV Stabilizer Concentrates
  Cesa-light uv-stabilizer masterbatches provide outstanding protection against the degrading effects of sunlight, heat and oxygen on the mechanical, optical and physical performance of plastic parts. CESA-light family includes uv absorbers widely used in food, drug and personal care packaging; nickel quenchers, which dispose of absorbed energy as heat or as fluorescent or phosphorescent radiation; and hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), which act as radical interceptors that effectively inhibit polymer degradation. Some masterbatches combine HALS and uv absorbing components and can also include other beneficial additives such as antioxidants. Custom masterbatches also available along with masterbatches that combine active ingredients with selected pigments and dyestuffs.
