Beyond the Base Resin: Engineering Performance with Functional Additives
Functional additive performance depends on more than selecting the right chemistry.
Polymer compatibility, delivery method, processing conditions, formulation interactions, end-use requirements, and application-specific testing all influence how a functional technology performs within the complete material system.
In this on-demand webinar, Americhem experts explore how these considerations apply across PFAS-free performance, durability and stabilization, microbial and odor management, and surface and interface engineering.
Using Americhem technologies for PFAS-free fluid repellency, friction and wear, durability, antimicrobial performance, and odor control as examples, the discussion connects additive selection to formulation, processing, performance data, and validation before scale-up.
What You’ll Learn
How polymer compatibility, delivery method, processing conditions, and formulation interactions shape functional additive performance
Why PFAS-free substitution requires matching the technology to the function and application
Why application-specific testing and performance data matter before scale-up
How different functional technologies address durability, microbial control, odor management, and surface/interface performance
Explore Functional Additive Solutions
Functional performance requirements vary by polymer, process, and application. Explore Americhem’s broader functional additive portfolio for technologies supporting fluid management, durability, friction and wear, microbial and odor management, surface performance, and other application-specific requirements.
