Aluminium alkyl products go up
Chemtura Corp has announced a price increase of approximately 45% for the neat portion of its aluminium alkyl products.
Anox FiberPlus is also available in a powder blend.
Anox FiberPlus blends allow manufacturers of polypropylene fibre grades to achieve good process stability and outstanding colour protection, in addition to being resistant to gas fading of the polymer.
UV stability and long-term heat aging can also be controlled by Anox FiberPlus blends based on the durability and UV protection needs of the finished product.
Anox FiberPlus blends are suitable for use in both noncracked and cracked polypropylene fibres.
In the production of cracked fibre grades, peroxide is generally added to polypropylene to increase the melt flow index of the polymer and to narrow the molecular weight distribution.
Anox FiberPlus blends allow a significant reduction in peroxide consumption compared with other commercially available stabiliser systems, offering a unique performance/cost solution to the polypropylene fibre market.
Anox FiberPlus blends are ideally suited for polypropylene fibre production of a wide variety of finished goods from hygienic and medical goods such as disposable diapers to durable products such as carpet pile and backing, ropes, outdoor clothing, and agro/geotextiles.
Anox FiberPlus blends are the first in Great Lakes' new range of stabiliser solutions that leverage the company's extensive knowledge of additives and their synergies, polymers where these additives are used, demands of end use applications, and, ultimately, market needs.
