    What are plastic manufacturing additives?

    They are chemicals and stearates added to plastics and polymers to improve flow, stability, lubrication, and processing efficiency.
    Calcium stearate, zinc stearate, and metallic stearates are most commonly used in plastic manufacturing and compounding.
    Our PVC additives act as lubricants and stabilizers, reducing sticking, improving release, and maintaining stability during high-heat processing.
    Yes. Blachford provides calcium stearate dispersions for plastics, which are easier to handle and provide uniform distribution compared to powders.
    Absolutely. We offer sustainable plastic manufacturing additives that help reduce environmental impact while maintaining performance.
    Yes. Our additives are designed for extrusion, molding, and compounding, supporting a wide range of plastic production processes.
    Yes. Blachford develops custom stearate solutions for plastics to meet specific customer requirements, equipment setups, or regulatory needs.
    Automotive, construction, consumer goods, and packaging companies worldwide use our plastic manufacturing chemicals to improve product quality and efficien
