Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio-based Americhem Inc. — a provider of custom color and additive solutions for man-made fibers — now offers combinations of its nDuramax™ family of ultraviolet (UV)-stabilizing masterbatches designed for outdoor man-made-fiber applications including geotextiles and other geosynthetics, outdoor carpeting, synthetic turf, awning fabric and marine covers, among other applications.

nDuramax combinations offer improved UV protection by blending UV stabilizers that are good for both short- and long-term exposure. According to Americhem, use of the combinations results in better tensile strength retention and longer product life compared to using individual stabilizers.
