Special fillers, however, can make a plastic compound electrically or thermally conductive. In polymer compounds, solid glass beads improve mold flow and surface appearance. Hematite can be used as a pigment, adding a gray metallic sparkle to a compound.

SunGard™ Weatherable Polycarbonate Sheet – combines the impact strength of polycarbonate with outstanding UV stability

CLEVELAND – February 3, 2025 – Avient Corporation, an innovator of materials solutions, today announced the availability of Cesa™ WithStand™ SX Low Haze Antimicrobial Additives for clear polycarbonate and plexiglass applications. Traditional antimicrobials often cause opacity or hazing in polycarbonate or acrylic.
