The A-C^® brand of performance products is the mark of the world's leading manufacturer of low molecular weight polyethylene polymers. We help you configure a performance solution by translating your needs into functional requirements. We are the industry's largest global team of commercial and technical experts, with a staff of over 200 dedicated to the A-C^® brand of performance products. This commitment makes the A-C^® team responsive, flexible, reliable, and innovative in the delivery of solutions to meet customers' needs.

Using our scale and know-how, we manufacture a product that delivers functionality consistently. These include homopolymers, copolymers and polymers with grafted functionality. This capability enhances a wide range of end-use products. We can impact the following characteristics:

• Toughness over and above natural waxes
• Hardness resulting in excellent rub resistance
• Lubricity on the surface during melt processing
• Melting Point to confer temperature resistance to many formulas
• Low melt viscosity for ease of processing and handling
• Chemical resistance - a barrier to water or grease and almost completely insoluble to many chemicals and solvents at 25°C
• Compatibility controllable with branching or polar co-monomers
