Maxxam™ formulations are based on polypropylene and polyethylene resins and can be filled and reinforced to satisfy the required performance characteristic.
They can be blended with glass, minerals, impact modifiers, colorants and stabilizer systems, providing customized solutions to meet specific application needs.

They include PPS, PAEKs and LCPs.
Glass Transition Temperature: Glass transition temperature is the point at which an amorphous polymer becomes hard and brittle.
However, these high- heat materials require much higher mold and melt temperatures than typical plastics such as polypropylene (PP), nylon and polycarbonate (PC).

Polypropylene (PP) carriers are recommended for the harder SEBS formulations.
PP carrier is not recommended for softer grades, as the formulation hardness will be affected.

A COMPLETE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO A full range of Colorant Chromatics technologies includes: • Color and/or additive concentrates • Specialty compounds including conductive, carbon fiber, CNT, filled, glass, carbon, minerals • Additive concentrates including specialty compounds such as UV, acid scavengers, lubricants/mold release, and foaming agents • � Pigment dispersions • �� Inks and additives for processors of high- performance plastics and fluoropolymers HIGH- TEMPERATURE SOLUTIONS/ INJECTION MOLDING Minimum order quantities for color concentrates and compounds for high-performance polymers are as low as 10 lbs. (5kg), enabling you to manage inventory better and order only what you need.
Glass fiber and glass beads formulations are typically used for injection molding processes where improved dimensional stability is required.
They can also be used as an antistatic coating on FEP or PTFE-impregnated glass cloth or as a resistance carrier for heating bands.

These composites also deliver better flow characteristics at high fiber content levels, which eases filling thin wall sections or long flow lengths.
LONG GLASS FIBER SURFACE AESTHETICS Good surface cosmetics with glass fiber reinforced nylons are difficult to obtain without high mold temperatures that lengthen cycle times.
