What are polymer additives?

Polymer additives refer to a type of chemical substances added during the production process of plastics and other polymer materials. Their main function is to improve the processing performance, physical properties and aging resistance of polymers during the processing and use stages. These additives are widely used in international trade, mainly for the B2B market.

Types and functions of polymer additives

Polymer additives cover various types, such as antioxidants, UV stabilizers, antistatic agents, flame retardants, etc. Each additive has its own unique functions and areas of application.

1. Antioxidants: Improve the stability of polymers under heat treatment and ultraviolet irradiation to prevent oxidative degradation.

2. Ultraviolet stabilizer: Effectively protects polymer materials from decomposition and discoloration under ultraviolet light and extends their service life.

3. Antistatic agent: Reduce or eliminate static electricity accumulation on the surface of polymer materials, and increase the safety of processing and use.

4. Flame retardant: Gives polymer materials flame retardant properties and improves their safety at high temperatures.

Advantages of polymer additives

Polymer additives have significant advantages in improving the performance of polymer materials. These advantages are specifically reflected in the following aspects:

1. Improve processing performance: The addition of additives can significantly improve the plasticity and fluidity of polymer materials, making them easier to process and shape, thus improving production efficiency.

2. Improve physical properties: By adding suitable additives, the strength, wear resistance, oil resistance, etc. of polymer materials can be enhanced, greatly improving their performance.

3. Extend the service life of materials: Additives can significantly improve the aging resistance of polymer materials and delay the aging degradation process, thereby extending their service life.

4. Enhance stability: The use of additives can improve the stability of polymer materials in various complex environments, including wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

Broad market prospects

Generally speaking, polymer additives play a vital role in the production process of various polymer materials. By improving processing performance, enhancing physical properties, extending service life and improving stability, these additives not only help manufacturers meet the needs of different fields, but also show broad prospects in the international trade market. Therefore, polymer additives occupy an important position in the modern chemical industry and have huge market potential.
