Based on breakthrough science, our patented three-phase Activ-Polymer® technology enables a new class of plastic compounds that can be engineered to meet a range of product stability needs.

Activ-Polymer® technology provides the ability to control small molecule transport through the polymer. This enables CSP to engineer compounds with a variety of properties—from absorbing or emitting specific molecules to enabling electronic or ionic transport.

The technology offers tremendous manufacturing flexibility. Products can be extruded, injection molded or blow molded to meet virtually any form factor requirement.

How it works

Our three-phase Activ-Polymer® morphology consists of the following:

• A majority polymer that serves as the base component and provides structure for the final product.
• An active particle that provides the desired characteristics, such as absorption of moisture, gases or odors; release of aromas, biocides or nutrients; or transmittal to enhance the transport properties of the polymer.
• A minority polymer that is immiscible (non-mixing) in the majority polymer and has a chemical attraction for the active particle, creating pathways for complete access to the active particles.

The pathways created by the interaction of these constituents allow for the controlled movement of gases into and out of the polymer. This enables us to engineer compounds that absorb or transmit gas molecules into the atmosphere of the package to help maintain an optimal environment.
