MATERIALS WITH A PURPOSE

The right chemistry.
A practical path forward.

Salient Polymers connects compounders, converters, and manufacturers with specialty materials and the technical support to put them to work.

From resin selection to additive packages, we help you evaluate options against your polymer, processing conditions, and performance requirements.

OUR PORTFOLIO

Build performance
into your formulation.

Explore materials by function, then talk with us about the grade and approach that fit your application.

01 / STABILIZATION

Heat & Hydrolysis Stabilization, Metal Deactivation

OKA-TEC stabilizers and specialty additives to support polymer performance during processing and service.

Discuss selection

Selection starts with the polymer, melt temperature, exposure conditions, and intended service life. Ask about an appropriate stabilization approach.

02 / MODIFIERS

Ethylene Butyl Acrylate

LUCOBIT EBA materials for applications requiring flexibility, toughness, and tailored processing behavior.

Discuss selection

Share your flexibility target, melt flow requirements, and application. We will help identify grades to consider for trials.

03 / RESINS

Ionomer resins

Clarix ionomer resins for formulations where ionic chemistry can help address material performance and compatibility.

Discuss selection

Tell us your base polymer, processing method, and required properties. We can discuss neutralization chemistry and grade suitability for evaluation.

04 / FIRE PERFORMANCE

Flame retardants

Flame retardant options, including non-halogenated approaches, selected around your polymer and application requirements.

Discuss selection

Provide the applicable fire test, part thickness, base resin, and mechanical requirements. Final performance must be verified in your formulation.

05 / FORMULATION

Specialty additives

Materials for specific formulation needs, with support to assess compatibility, dispersion, and processing considerations.

Discuss selection

Describe the performance gap you are trying to close. We can discuss candidate chemistries and a practical evaluation plan.

06 / CONCENTRATES

Salion product solutions

Polymer masterbatches, concentrates, and non-halogenated flame retardant polypropylene solutions.

Discuss selection

Ask about Salion options for your process, including carrier compatibility, active content, and addition levels.

Grade availability and suitability are confirmed for each inquiry. Technical data and safety information are available on request.
