Americhem Additive Offerings
Our softness-enhancing products let you choose a softness level for your product. Combine it with your ideal color, and you’ll emerge with a custom solution for your nonwoven product.
Protect your products from a breadth of microorganisms with antimicrobial additives designed for synthetic fibers, nonwovens, turf, and plastic products.
While many commercial polymers are inherently flammable, with the right flame-resistance modifiers, you can use your material of choice to its full potential.
Provide protection from UV light-induced degradation, everything from fibers to profile extrusions to molded parts are defended against weathering.
Create products that resist oxidative/thermal degradation during processing and use with additives engineered to inhibit the oxidative process in specific polymers.
Decrease the coefficient of friction in a wide range of polymer products with slip agents designed to improve production efficiency and downstream handling.
Improve performance by reducing cycle times, increasing throughput and freeing up capacity.
