Specialty Chemical Plastic Additives goes through this annual cycle and reports that try to predict base on interviews of those among the suppliers who have their own alternative facts and narratives. Overall the predictions are the same when the reality is always different. Basically paint it blue and call it new and repackage the products and call it a new name or add 50 ppm of something and call it a new product new substance; etc. Instead of providing solutions to problems that truly exist the vendors continue to provide solutions to problems that do not exist and add a new dimension of other issues they create that were predictable if they only had the expertise instead of a group of individuals that form a group of syncophants patting each other on the back of how great they have done. The problems today that have had no solutions include long term thermo-oxidative stabilization at 150C for PP and especially PE. OIT at 200 C and 190C that extends beyond the current norms, permanent broad wavelength protection for all plastics, permanent UV protection and inhibition of yellowing of condensation polymers, denucleation agents, post polymerization second order glass transition inhibitors for polyolefins, broad non warping colorants that are inexpensive and act as physical property enhancers, spectral enhancers that synergize with organic UVA currently on the market to can control bathochromic and hyperchromicity and much much more.
