Additive concentrates repel termites and rodents

PolyOne Corporation has launched new termite and rodent repellent additive concentrates. These new products, OnCap™ termite repellent additive concentrate and OnCap™ rodent repellent additive concentrate can repel rodents and termites in appropriate applications, and are available in free-flowing pellet form, says the company. Along with desirable dispersion properties, these additives combine safety of use and ease of use when processed in extrusion applications. The active substance is non-hygroscopic, generally does not migrate within the polymer, and will not leach into the environment under typical application conditions. Non-toxic solutions are increasingly required in many countries, where additives such as copper naphtenate, lindane, pyrethroids, and other toxic substances are either banned or being progressively replaced.
