Collection: Polymer Additives

Polymer Additives — includes functional additives for polymer processing such as flame retardants, crystallization nucleating agents, plasticizers, resin stabilizers, surfactants, and rubber vulcanization agents and accelerators. This group of compounds modifies the physical, thermal, and processing properties of polymer materials without changing the main structure of the polymer chain.

These polymer additives are used by researchers and formulation engineers in the production of plastics, rubber, and composites to control crystallization rate, flexibility, resistance to thermal and oxidative degradation, and combustion characteristics of the final material. Compounds such as sorbitol derivatives act as nucleating agents for polypropylene, while phosphite and piperidyl derivatives are used as resin stabilizers, and quaternary ammonium salts function as surfactants in latex formulations and rubber vulcanization processes.

Example products in this collection: TCI G0082 111-03-5 Monoolein, TCI B5642 2516-92-9 Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl-1-oxyl) Sebacate, TCI I0815 71617-10-2 Isoamyl 4-Methoxycinnamate, TCI B5664 26741-53-7 3,9-Bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenoxy)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxa-3,9-diphosphaspiro[5.5]undecane, TCI A0208 139-08-2 Benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium Chloride, TCI B5693 135861-56-2 1,3:2,4-Bis-O-(3,4-dimethylbenzylidene)-D-sorbitol, TCI A0166 627-93-0 Dimethyl Adipate, TCI B5709 2170-39-0 2-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-methyl-6-(2-propenyl)phenol.

Selecting additives requires attention to compatibility with the polymer matrix, physical form (powder, liquid, or paste), and purity level so that dispersion in the polymer blend is uniform and does not interfere with processing. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
