Polyvel’s Introduces Improved Antimicrobial and Odor Managing Masterbatches
Polyvel has introduced two new series of masterbatches for controlling bacteria growth and odor. The VA-series of masterbatches contain silver, trichlosan, or proprietary agents that effectively kill microorganisms ranging from fungus, to E. coli, to salmonella. Available for use in most thermoplastic resins, they add value wherever bacteria, mold or mildew could compromise product performance. These masterbatches can be used in most processing conditions, including nonwovens, injection molding, and sheet extrusion. Since bacteria can emit unpleasant odors, antimicrobials are an excellent method of controlling unwanted scents.
When the source is not bacteria, Polyvel’s ZO-series of odor managing masterbatches are effective in end-product scent improvement, processing odor reduction, wood-polymer composites, recycling and external odor control. Representing a cost-effective means of reducing and possibly eliminating odor, they are offered in multiple mechanisms depending on the application.

New Viscosity Modifier Masterbatches Increase Efficiency, Cut Costs
Announcing several viscosity modifier additive products for processors using recycled PET:
These melt additives cause a controlled increase of recycled PET’s intrinsic viscosity (molecular weight), resulting in better melt strength, tensile strength and weld strength. By enabling greater use of internal or purchased regrind and recyclate, it also results in material cost savings.
CT-T01 is designed to increase PET strapping tensile and weld strength; CT-T03 and CT-T04 (FDA) are designed to increase sheet extrusion melt strength. For PLA, Polyvel’s CT-L03 and CT-L02 perform the same functions. In addition, these products are compatible with CPET, APET, PETG and other condensation polymers such as nylon.

Polyvel Introduces Specialty Odor Managing Masterbatches
Polyvel Inc has developed a number of specialty, odor managing masterbatches tailored to specific applications and resins. They are shown to be effective in recycling, wood polymer composite (WPC), and chemical contamination. Polyvel has been able to tailor these masterbatches in a number of resins, including: HDPE, LDPE, EVA, PP, and Nylon. Odor managing masterbatches are available with food contact approval and custom formulating is offered for particular functions and resin systems. Typical applications are consumer products and manufacturing processes.

NPE2009
Polyvel attended NPE2009 in Chicago, IL with much success. Alot of buzz was generated around Polyvel's emerging odor management product line and the improved polyethylene antifog VF152. A total of six representatives from Polyvel were on hand answering questions and meeting with prospective buyers and vendors. Overall, it was a very productive show and immediate business is expected to be generated.

Improved PE Antifog VF-152
Polyvel Inc, a recognized leader in antifog masterbatches, announces an improvement to it’s polyethylene antifog VF-152. The improved formulation works in both mono- and co-extruded films. VF-152 is versatile enough to work in hot and cold application and is FDA compliant at any letdown level. Thermoforming has no effect on performance and this updated formula works faster and over longer periods of time than any previous version. Additionally, the required letdown remains 3.0 – 5.0% making it extremely cost efficient. VF-152 works in most grades of PE including: LDPE, HDPE, and LLDPE.
