Polyvel offers a broad range of pelletized and granular peroxide masterbatches for polypropylene reprocessing, injection molding, fiber processing, and polyethylene or EVA crosslinking. Peroxide masterbatches are highly effective in increasing polypropylene melt flow rate for both extrusion and injection molding.

Glyceryl monostearate (GMS) is a multifunctional additive that Polyvel incorporates into an easily handled, dry pellet. It stabilizes by regulating gas release from bubbles. Also, the masterbatches contain no fillers, making them ideal for clear film applications.

Available for hot and cold fog applications, antifogs are used in packaging to prevent condensation on the inside surfaces of the package. They increase film surface energy so that the water forms a continuous transparent layer instead of droplets.

Stabilizers designed to protect recycled polyolefins and rPET from excessive degradation, such as gel formations and yellowing. Antioxidants protect mechanical and optical properties of packaging, thereby enabling higher incorporation of PIR and PCR content.

Antiblocks decrease the contact between layers of film, preventing them from sticking together. Antiblocks are available for food contact and clear applications, and are customizable by application.

These additives can improve shelf life, reduce plate-out in films or on machinery, and lessen interference with seals, print, and laminations. Innovative technology allows for use in thinner films and provides broad UV absorbance coverage with lower loadings and longer-lasting performance.

Polyvel’s softening agents create superior softness by reducing surface coefficient of friction without the need for additional processing steps. They require exceptionally low use levels, making them an extremely cost-effective means of adding soft feel to a wide variety of PP nonwoven products. Polyvel’s softening agents impart no color and can be mixed into any spun bond or melt-blown grade of polypropylene.

Polyvel offers an exceptionally efficient hydrophilic moisture absorber for technical polypropylene nonwovens applications, including melt-blown fibers. Its uniform and low-dusting pellet form provides for cleaner incorporation and processing than topically applied wetting agents.

Enhances the retention of electrostatic charge applied to nonwoven polypropylene fabrics.

Polyvel impact modifiers are popular in thermoformed sheet applications, injection molded components, and 3D printing. We offer an excellent impact modifier for PLA applications where clarity and compostability are important.

Nucleating agents improve processing speed, dimensional stability, and physical properties in molded or extruded products. In standard injection, gas injection and chemical foaming applications, nucleating agents improve dimensional stability and density.

Clarifying agents eliminate or decrease the concentration of one or more undesired components. Besides improving clarity, some clarifying agents can also increase gloss, impact strength, and dimensional stability.

Lubricants and slip additives are used by injection molders, film processors, and compounders to add surface lubrication and mold release properties directly into the resin pellet feed without release sprays or pre-compounded resins. This class of masterbatches can also serve as a process aid by modifying the resin surface to reduce the coefficient of friction.

Antistats reduce surface resistivity via an aqueous layer formed on the plastic film surface. The aqueous layer discharges static electricity generated by the triboelectric (frictional) action.

Processing aids optimize the manufacturing process. Polyvel's PFAS-Free Process Aid for film extrusion is free of the potential hazards of fluoro-based process aids. Advantages of processing aids include increased throughput, eliminated melt fracture, improved processability, prevention of die buildup, and lower energy requirements.

Process aids are designed to eliminate melt-fracture and "shark skin", minimize die build-up, reduce extrusion back pressure, reduce gels and waste, increase uptime, and improve productivity.

This biodegradable, FDA Approved, PLA Processing Aid was developed to maintain clarity and enhance the melt strength of PLA without increasing the melt viscosity effectively allowing for increased output rates.

PLA (polylactic acid) resin is a compostable polymer that supports sustainability efforts. Polyvel is a leading manufacturer of PLA masterbatches in a dry, easy-to-handle pellet. PLA is used in numerous processes, including extruded foam, cast or blown film, sheet extrusion, and injection molding.

Odor managers are innovative wide-spectrum odor neutralizing or scented solutions designed to enable higher incorporation of post-industrial and post-consumer content and other malodor challenges where organoleptic properties are important.

Antimicrobials prevent the growth of multiple types of bacteria and a wide array of fungal organisms. Available in several different carrier resins as free-flowing pellets for addition in sheet extrusion, nonwovens, and injection molding.
