Process aids are often effective in minimizing die lip build-up in extrusion processes. Flame Retardant Prevents or minimizes flame propagation in plastic articles. Nucleating Agent A special grade of fine particle talc that nucleates foam into a fine, uniform cell structure producing a smoother finished part. Newer nucleating agents include special endothermic blowing agents that not only nucleate the foam into smooth finished parts, but also require a much lower concentration and leave no talc residue. Specialty Additives These products find use in unique applications where finished articles must be altered for special effect. Foaming agents serve to decrease part weight and can enhance sound and energy absorption.

Our global experience in developing filled and fiber reinforced compounds provides unmatched value for our customers. Solution: Spartech proposed the use of its ReinForce™ warping and distortion after molding a vehicle instrument product line. This specialty compound offers an exceptional panel retainer. The OEM had previously molded long glass amount of stiffness and allows for part designs with thinner polypropylene for this part, but due to its dimensional wall thicknesses that can still meet demanding structural instability and the resulting deformations, a solution was requirements. The OEM was able to mold the instrument panel needed to allow for easier vehicle assemblage. Thus, the OEM retainers using ReinForce™ with minimal changes to their approached Spartech for a solution. injection molding conditions. The new parts exhibited improved metrology and decreased distortion compared to the long glass PP.
