With a stable and reliable supply of its montan waxes and flame retardants ensured, Clariant offers outstanding performance for demanding plastics applications. Clariant continues to expand its toolbox of cutting-edge, efficient phosphinate flame retardants with new tailor made synergistic formulations presented at K 2013. These include Exolit® OP 1400 for polyamides with special requirements and Exolit OP 1260 for polyesters. Besides its performance in application, the Exolit OP product line is also well known for its good environmental and health profile. From its broad portfolio of specialty waxes, Clariant will focus on the added-value for plastics manufacturers offered by montan wax specialties, such as Licomont® NaV 101 and CaV 102, which significantly reduce cycle times and provide excellent release and flow properties for injection molded polyamides and polyesters. The innovative Licocene® grades are also highlighted for high performance masterbatches. The new AddWorks Polymer Additives Solutions, such as Addworks ATR for automotive, or Addworks ELC for E&E, will further contribute to expanding the features of engineering plastics in terms of polymer protection, process stabilization, productivity improvement or energy savings, and will be specifically designed according to the technical and economical requirements of the different segments.
