AMERICHEM GIVES YOU
THE ADVANTAGE STRENGTH ENHANCEMENT With our specially formulated additives, you can create stronger geosynthetics using less material for greater cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
UV STABILIZATION Extending the life of your product depends on reducing the harmful effects of sunlight. Our nDuramax™ family of breakthrough UV stabilizing masterbatches ensures the long-term retention of mechanical properties in geosynthetic fibers.
HEAT Dissipation Infrared (IR) reflective additives can help you reduce surface temperatures of your products. IR reflection is especially important in cure rate control when working with concrete.
MOISTURE CONTROL Our additives can also help enhance the hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties of geosynthetic fibers, helping you control the flow of moisture.
