High-Temperature Expandable Graphite for Engineering Polymers
High Temperature Expandable Graphite from LUH is able to be used in thermoplastics without expanding during the extrusion process.
Valida is a unique fibrillated cellulose that forms an extensive 3D network in water via a combination of hydrogen bonding and mechanical entanglement. Able to stabilise both solid particles and oil droplets in suspension, Valida improves in-can stability, reduces cracking during drying, and adjusts open time in addition to imparting thixotropy.
Learn more about the benefits of Valida in the below video from SAPPI.

Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO) is a naturally occurring iron oxide used in protective coatings due to a lamellar/platy morphology that allows it to form a barrier towards the ingress of water.
Thermochromic pigments, such as Chromazone®, enable formulators to create products with dynamic and heat-sensitive, colour changes. These smart materials have found their way into various applications, from functional safety indicators to eye-catching promotional products. For example, reversible thermochromic pigments are used in novelty mugs that reveal hidden designs when filled with hot beverages, packaging that signals when food or drink is at the optimal temperature for consumption, security labels for brand protection and anti-counterfeiting, and temperature-sensitive warning indicators on surfaces or medical devices.
