Polyolefin film products are in a state of continuous improvement in regard to their physical properties, aesthetic features, durability during processing, weatherability, and various types of special effects. Accordingly, the polymer producers of these film grade products, as well as the manufacturers of the downstream films are always interested in new developments in additive technology these type of properties. This presentation will begin by providing an overview of stabilization fundamentals, and recent advances along those lines. It will end with new directions that are being taken, above and beyond stabilization, into new additive technologies that provide innovative effects to the plastic articles in specific end use applications.
