CAI’s new ST-PA208 is designed to boost melt flow index, elongation, and improve dispersion and compatibility.

An innovative lubricant designed for PC and PC/ABS alloys is said to increase the melt flow index and elongation, and to improve dispersion and compatibility. Flow Improver ST-PA208t is the latest addition to the portfolio of specialty additives offered by CAI Performance Additives, the sole distributor in North America for a broad portfolio of high-performance additives produced by China’s Starbetter Chemical Materials.
ST-PA208 reportedly enables higher loading content and offers comprehensive performance that is much better than EBS (ethylene bis stearamide), silicone, Montan wax, and other traditional lubricants. The additive is finding wide use in PC, glass fiber/filler/fire retardant reinforced PC, and PC/ABS alloys.
The polymers we work with follow the same principles as the body: the hotter the environment becomes, the less performance we can expect.
There’s more to TP polyesters than you think. You may know PET, PBT, and PETG—but what about PCT, PCTG, PCTA, and PTT? If you’re not sure what they are, how their properties compare, and who sells them, we have the answers—and lots of new developments to report.
In consumer goods markets, there are countless applications for clear plastics such as copolyesters, acrylic, SAN, amorphous nylon, and polycarbonate.
