Inovia Materials LLC is positioned to develop new generation flame retardants and flow enhancers based on ionic liquids, to replace and expand the applications of traditional additives with high “green chemistry” qualities, superior performance and enhanced properties. we have developed new flow enhancers for PC, TPU, TPAE and high-performance plastics: PAR, PPA, PPS, PSU, PEI, PEEK, etc. Our flowing enhancers have superior thermal stability (450 degree C TGA for PEEK application), perfect compatibility (ionic liquids being table), significant increase melt flow index at very low loading level ( 100% increase in melt flow index for TPU at only 0.1% loading level), and mild effects on the physical-mechanical properties of plastics. We welcome product application opportunities from lighting, construction, transportation, cable, and additive manufacturing industries.
