Additive masterbutches meet the needs of wide range of polymers blending and metering equipment can be used to adjust usage levels. The company says that standard products are availablefor immediate shipment, while specialitymasterbatcheswith custom-made formulations can be produced with short lead times. Manfied Dicks, businessdirector, Clariit Additive Masterbatches,Americas adds: “It is a significantchallengefor most plastic processors to try
A new line of additive masterbatches, CESAny’, has been introduced by Clariant Masterbatches. For use in a wide range of polymers, the pre-dispersedadditive masterbatches are availablein a variety of form~a~o~. The CESA line includes antioxidants, antistats, W stabilizers, flame retardants, antiblock, antislip and antifogging agents. The pellet masterbatches can be blended with the resin at the
and handle a variety of additives in differentphysical forms. Some arrive in powder form, some liquid and some have very low melting temperatures. By making these additives availablein the simplest of forms - a masterbatch pellet, we can help processorsavoid shop floor man&cturing issues.

Antistutic udditive is upproved for food contact Atofina subsidiaryCeca has developeda new antistatic additive, Noroplast* 3000. The ethoxylated amine is approved for indirect food contact in Europe and the USA for polyolefin film applications. Ethoxylated amines with IWO ethylene oxide molecules are
authorized by the FDA in polyolefin film applications providing that their fatty chain is within the 12-18 carbon range. In Europe, national regulations currently also strictly permit 12-18 carbon chains only. However, the 6th amendment to Directive 90/128/EEC is set
to authorize 8-18 carbon chains. The company adds that ethoxylated amines produced from standard coca fatty acids do not Erlfil these criteria as coca fatty acid naturally contains appreciableamounts of 8- 10 carbon chains. A liquid at ambient temperature, Noroplast
3000 is claimed to offer the same antistatic performance as coca ethoxylated amine, while also &hilling European and US criteria authorizing indirect food contact. COntaCt: At&U Tek +33 I 49 00 70 29 Fax: +33 I 49 00 52 67
