Elevast™ polymer modifiers
Elevast™ polymer modifiers are specialty hydrocarbon fluids for technical applications that require a wide range of service temperatures and improved mechanical properties.
Designed to enhance the performance and processability of a broad range of polymer systems and applications, Elevast polymer modifiers enable fine-tuning of performance and introduce new options for intermaterial substitution.
Elevast polymer modifiers offer formulators the ability to extend low-temperature service ranges, along with increased permanence for long-term property retention and exceptional compatibility with polyolefins. Easily incorporated into polymers, Elevast polymer modifiers feature outstanding thermal and oxidative stability, are virtually colorless and odorless, and have low specific gravity along with food contact clearance.
