1. Polymer Additives
Light Stabilizers – Clariant Light stabilizers, composed of UV-absorbers and radical scavengers (HALS), help to protect polymers against the photo-degradation process, by improving gloss retention, reducing color change, etc.
Antioxidants – Clariant is a leading supplier of process stabilizer for polyolefins. The range includes a phosphonite and long-term stabilizers, such as special-purpose phenolic primary stabilizers, sulfur-containing co-stabilizers and a metal deactivator.
Antistatic Agents – Clariant Antistatic agents help to prevent static charging, sparkling-over and dust attraction during the processing of polymers, as well as in the end article. Furthermore they provide special effects to surfaces of final products.
Process Stabilizers – A special range of Clariant additives to improve the process stability of polymers.
