Hallstar has developed a new line of polymeric plasticizers for fluoroelastomer (FKM) compounds, a class of high-performance materials that are challenging to plasticize because of their fluorinated backbones. Plasthall® P-920 and its dry version, Suprmix® Plasthall® P-20, act as processing aids and reduce viscosity with minimal impact on tensile properties. They enhance extrusion efficiency by lowering Mooney viscosity, which reduces torque and energy consumption.

PremiX® MgO 74 is an additive for extruded and injection molded articles made of chlorinated polymers. This vulcanization activator and acid receptor is based on a high-activity magnesium oxide (MgO) and can be mixed with PremiX® ZnO for a good balance of processing safety and cure rate. PremiX® MgO 74 contains 74% activated magnesium oxide and improves stability, resists scorching, and has a long shelf life.
