Phoenix Plastics

Phoenix Plastics Polydegrade is one of the industries most cost effective Oxo-Degradable additives on the market. It provides excellent thermal stability and more controlled degradability of the polymer without issues such as yellowing, odors, or pre-degradation. The additives used in manufacturing Polydegrade are non-heavy metal or oxide based; this results in more eco-friendly by-products released into the environment. The use of Polydegrade in polyethylene film applications such as T-shirt bags or grocery bags, both manufactured with TiO2 and CaCO3, can significantly affect degradation results. Polydegrade has addressed these issues resulting in very controlled rates of degradation, process ability and thermal stability, when exposed to outside environments of short-wave UV light (300nm – 400nm), heat, and oxygen.

Cel-Span® Purge 388 is a transition purge that contains several proprietary additives that are essential in the cleansing cycle of high temperatures and lower melting polyolefins. Temperatures above 500 °F may cause material to smoke. Cel-Span® Purge 388 can be used directly without any mixing necessary to clean most plastic equipment during color and resin changes. The unique additives and resin system in Cel-Span® Purge 388 makes it possible to cleanse color resins in less time, in most resin applications.

Cel-Span® Process Aid 315N is an effective compatibilizer and coupling additive with an additional stabilizing package added with regrind Polypropylene and Polyethylene applications in mind. Cel-Span® Process Aid 315N recommended usage is 1.5% to 3.0%. We also recommend that the rear zone temperatures are reduced by 15% – 20% and the front zone by 5% – 10%. Compatibilization of dissimilar resins is achieved through a non-acidic means to prevent additional degradation of the previously compromised regrind systems being utilized. The use of Cel-Span® Process Aid 315N increases physical properties by 10% - 20% depending on types of materials used and regrind conditions. Fiberglass is better orientated with the use of Cel-Span® Process Aid 315N allowing improved izod and tensile rating with enhanced gloss and esthetics.

Cel-Span® Purge 385 is a multipurpose, binary engineered thermoplastic purging compound, formulated for blown film equipment. Cel-Span® Purge 385 is a cleansing compound specially tailored for most resins that are utilized in sheet and film extrusion processes. Cel-Span® Purge 385 contains several proprietary additives used to maximize thermal stability and reduce degradation and oxidative by-products occurring during the manufacturing process as well other contaminants produced in most olefinic resin processes.

Cel-Span® Process Aid 610L is a processing concentrate in a compatible resin carrier used in extrusion and injection processes to enhance flow and reduce the processing temperature while increasing productivity for all types of polyolefin resins. Cel-Span® Process Aid 610L contains a unique additive that enhances the flow characteristics of polyolefin resins, reduces cycle time, while improving mold filling in multiple cavity molds. In extrusion and blow molding applications, Cel-Span® Process Aid 610L enhances flow and reduces processing temperature of polyolefin resins as much as 30 to 50 degrees. This reduction in processing and melt temperatures results in less polymer degradation, better color, lower cycle time and higher output especially in sheet, injection molding,and blow molding applications, and extrusion applications.

Cel-Span® UVS 717 is a (HALS) concentrate containing a stabilizer package for injection blow molding, extrusion and film applications for polyethylene. Hindered Amine Light stabilizers are the most effective light stabilizers for polyolefins. HALS is extremely efficient because these special additives continuously repopulate themselves during the UV stabilization process.

Cel-Span® CFA 899PS is a 20% active endothermic foaming agent concentrate recommended for extrusion applications for a variety of thermoplastic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene, MPPO, and ABS. Cel-Span® CFA 899PS is recommended for extrusion, and structural foam molding of applications that require a very fine cell structure compared to a typical endothermic foaming agent in esthetic applications.

Cel-Span® Process Aid 705 is a product recommended as a replacement for the traditional phenolic and hindered amine combination for the thermal and ultraviolet stabilization of polyester resins during high temperature processing. Cel-Span® Process Aid 705 enhances the process window of Polyester and PET resins. In addition, this product maintains the IV (Intinsic Viscosity) of Polyester and PET resins coupled with excellent UV stability. Cel-Span® Process Aid 705 also provides protection to caustic environment and bleach resistance to Polyester and PET resins with both bottle and fiber grade products. It is important that this product be used at 2% - 3% with the Polyester or PET resin before the fabrication or molding process to take advantage of the excellent properties of the unique masterbatch. It will insure that the polyester resin is protected through the molding and life cycle of the parts

Cel-Span® Purge 300 contains several proprietary additives that are essential in the cleansing process of high temperatures and lower melting polyolefins. Cel-Span® Purge 300 was created to be the least cost prohibitive cleansing compound on the market today. Cel-Span® Purge 300 can be used directly without any mixing necessary to clean most plastics equipment during color and resin changes. The unique additives and resin system in Cel-Span® Purge 300, makes it possible to purge color resins like Polyolefins, A.B.S., Styrenics, and HDPE, as well as high temperatures up to 600°F.
