Flame Retardant Polyolefin: Maxxam™ FR

Airtight housings are designed with PolyOne’s Maxxam™ FR and OnFlex™ non-halogenated, flame-retardant solutions.

Announced agreement to divest Performance Products and Solutions (PP&S) to streamline portfolio, improve specialty mix, and enable investments to accelerate growth NYSE: POL) today reported its third quarter results for 2019, which reflect PP&S as a discontinued operation. The divestment of PP&S is expected to close soon, which will reduce our exposure to more cyclical end markets and strengthen our balance sheet. 

Additives for meltblown nonwoven PP

The colorant solutions are available in PP and PE (HDPE and LDPE) and produced with ingredients tested to European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3 and 3.1.5 as well as to USP chapters , including class VI (a requirement for ophthalmic and nasal drugs) and USP and (light transmission).

Standard formulations in polycarbonate (PC), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and liquid crystal polymers (LCP) can be tailored to specific needs.

In addition, testing is underway to support an application for MPG recognition for the same colorants for polypropylene resin (PP).

Because the TPE bonds well to the polypropylene (PP) substrate, the tub withstands repeated folding and unfolding.

Available as a granular masterbatch for injection molding, thermoforming or extrusion, these new additives offer superior performance for most clear polymers, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene (PS).

Common examples are polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA), polyketone (PK), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). Examples of semi-crystalline polymers are PP, polyethylene (PE), PA6, PA66, polyphthalamide (PPA), polybutylene/polyethylene terephthalate (PBT/PET), polyoxymethylene (POM) or acetal, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyether ether ketone (PEEK).
