Marketed products 1

Marketed products 2
Light stabilizer masterbatch

Capsule-like light stabilizer

1. Active content 50%-55%, matrix resin and effective content can be higher
2. Under high temperature, the surface of the masterbatch is dry and sticky
Antistatic masterbatch

Antistatic agent currently Capsule-like antistatic

on the market masterbatch (>70% load)
Application advantages

◼ Capsule liquid auxiliary masterbatch is not agglomerated and easy

to disperse.

◼ Potential to load higher concentration of additives.
