A-C 6 is a low density polyethylene (LDPE) homopolymer in a prill form, for use in solvent borne coatings, heatset and liquid solvent borne inks, to improve surface properties such as rub, mar & abrasion resistance, by lowering the COF. It is also used as a gellant for hydrocarbon oils, a paraffin crystal nucleator in wax blends such as candles, and a viscosity diluent in HMAs. Can also be partially substituted for FT (Fisher Tropsch) Wax in adhesive applications without detracting from formulation properties. Used in cable flooding compounds, along with polybutene.

A-C 405T is an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer in prill form, with a VA content of 6%, for use in solvent borne coatings to control rheology and provide metallic flake orientation. Used extensively in automotive basecoats.

ACUMIST C-5 is medium particle size micronized Polyethylene Homopolymer for use in solvent borne coatings and solvent based flexographic inks. As with all ACumist products, it is insoluble in solvents and UV based monomers and oligomers at room temperature. best suited goroffset inks, can coatings , and all thin film solvent based coatings.

ACUMIST P10 is micronized polypropylene for matting and non-skid or non-slip applications for industrial solvent coatings. Excellent abrasion resistance. Used in powder coatings for matting and scratch resistance.
