Slide 4: Advantages of ALBlend Additives Packages
Advantages of ALBlend™ Additives | Packages = Better Safety = Better Quality Control and Lower QC Cost =» Less Waste = Higher Processing Efficiency = Good Dispersion of Hard to Disperse Additive Containing Pellet Blends
Slide 5: Safety Advantage
4 Safety Advantage = By eliminating powders from your additive package and, thus, dust from your workplace, ALBlend™ products: » Improve workplace hygiene » Improve transfer and handling of additives » Limit exposure to contact and/or inhalation irritants = Eliminate dust explosivity hazards
Slide 6: Quality Control & Cost Advantage
a Quality Control & Cost Advantage =» Because the proprietary ALBlend™ pelletization process provides blend components in certified concentrations and uses no melt or high-compression processes, ALBlend™ additive packages benefit users through Red Min Red quantities Red ucec ucec ucec Red ucec analy
Slide 7: Less Waste
4 Less Waste = Albemarle’s polymer additive experts’ targeted optimum additive formulations and pelletized product help ALBlend™ additive packages improve customers’ resins via: = Potential reduced additive consumption » Reduced additive loss from dusty powder = Increased resin grade quality from mo
