Stabilization Technologies™ is on the forefront of additive development and design. We have an extensive portfolio of commercially proven products:
The latest devlopment is a breakthrough in flame retardance for PET non-wovens. The additive can be used at concentrations of less than 3% by weight final in the polyester fiber and
passes both FAA and NFPA-701 vertical burn tests. The additive is supplied as a masterbatch concentrate available under the name Cel Span 789. Read more here.
Introducing Fluoride Scavenger STF, a unique product developed by Stabilization Technologies to address the special challenges presented by fluoropolymers like PVDF, FEP, ECTFE and PTFE. Fluoropolymers degrade at high temperatures during processing and use to release hydrofluoric acid which further destabilizes the polymer and presents health concerns. Traditional acid scavengers developed for polyolefins can actually make the problem worse as they act antagonistically with fluoropolymers and can actually contribute to degradation. That's where Fluoride Scavenger STF comes in. It is developed to address the needs of processors of fluoropolymers including wire and cable as well as multitudinous other application areas. By locking the HF into an inert matrix, Fluoride Scavenger STF provides unrivalled protection.
Molecular Modifiers™ enhance flow of condensation polymers by disrupting hydrogen bonding. This allows the polymer chains to move more freely in the melt but with no sacrifice in mechanical properties. The enhanced flow allows lower cycle times and significantly lower process temperatures. Added benefits include better polymer stability, transesterification is halted and UV stability may be dramatically improved in some cases.

The Alterin™ range is a platform technology based on modified aluminosilicate products offering a myriad of different benefits:
In polyolefin films, the shelf-life of foods and flowers is boosted by absorption of chemicals given off by the plant as it ripens
Alterin™ biocides are safe, non-migrating and proven highly effective in a range of bulk polymers as well as in film applications
In recycled polymers and rubbers absorption of noxious odors opens up applications in new markets
In PVC, Alterin™ is an effective acid scavenger, irreversibly binding hydrochloric acid (HCl), thus preventing degradation of mechanical properties and formation of black specks
The Zeodex™ range of colorants allow normally unstable dyes to be converted into stable, inorganic pigments by shielding the organic component from harm during compounding

The additives listed here are just a few of those in our arsenal. We have an extensive range of exclusive Transition Metal and Rare Earth stearates including silver stearate with anti-microbial properties and many more. Download some of our work on metallic stearates, their effect on polymer stability and interactions with typical stabilizers.
FInd out about a new additive that works synergistically with conventional stabilizers to give polyolefins with greater long-term oxidative stability to polyolefins. This new stabilization system is ideal for under-the-hood applications as it outperforms anything on the market today. Find out more about these new synergists which can give over 3000 hours of stability in oven ageing at 150°C!
