Polymer Additives

Polymer Additives Built for Performance

In polymer systems, processing efficiency and end-use performance are tightly linked. Flow, dispersion, surface properties, and stability must work together to deliver consistent results at scale.

PATCO’s polymer additives, including Pationic® technologies built on glycol and lactic ester chemistries such as mono- and diglycerides and lactylates, are engineered to improve both processing performance and finished material functionality. Our solutions provide antistatic control, lubrication, mold release, acid neutralization, dispersion, and antifog performance across polyolefins, PVC, EPS, foams, concentrates, and masterbatch systems.

Derived from bio renewable vegetable fats and oils, select Pationic® additives are suitable for food-contact applications and can support sustainable sourcing initiatives. With more than 30 years of plastics industry expertise, PATCO partners with customers to solve complex processing challenges and deliver dependable performance in demanding manufacturing environments.
