TPEs can also incorporate a thermochromic additive that changes color depending on the temperature. The spoon bowl is made in dark, vibrant colors, combined with the heat-sensitive additive, which causes the spoon bowl to turn clear when too hot.

In addition, the additive is compatible with many different rPET grades to help brand owners achieve their sustainability targets.

Smartbatch™ Combination Colorants & Additives Smartbatch™ Color and Additive Concentrates offered unparalleled UV weathering protection color concentrates for our customer’s solar power stations. These concentrates are a combination of color with a functional performance-enhancing or processing additive, in one solution.

Chemical foaming agents, materials that generate gas upon decomposition, also act as nucleating agents. The fine-grain spherulite structure of ingredients incorporated in Hydrocerol™ chemical foaming agents make it an ideal nucleating agent in direct gassed PS and polyolefin foams. Polymer Additives
