cai-performance-additive-st-pets-surface-moifier CAI Performance Additives announces a slate of new products which includes ST-PETS, a highly effective mold release and lubricating additive. ST-PETS can be used as a surface modifier and a mold release agent for polycarbonate, ABS, nylons, PET, PBT, PPO and other molded thermoplastics.

Ready Stock for Shipment


Though pentaerythritol tetrastearate (PETS) has been difficult to source globally, CAI Performance Additives has stock and is ready to ship to customers in the North American market.

CEO Richard Marshall says, “We keep a close eye on industry trends and an even closer eye on our customer’s needs. We were hearing time and time again that customers who were using some of our other premium additives were holding production because their sources of PETS couldn’t fulfill orders. We knew we had to start sourcing this critical mold release agent directly to avoid these kinds of supply chain issues facing our customers.”

Benefits include:
  • Lubricates and improves flow
  • Significantly increases surface glossiness on the resulting product
  • Reduce polymer friction factor
  • Now in stock for North American distribution
