Twenty five year-old pioneer of CO2 chemical foaming agents for thermoplastics Reedy International, Charlotte, N.C. (previously of Keyport, N.J.) has been renamed to better reflect its business to Reedy Chemical Foam & Specialty Additives.

It also offers the Saftec specialty additives product line to enhance foam, including the following six new additions that will be featured at NPE 2015: Saftec RB melt strength enhancers and chain enhancers, ST anti-stats, FR flame retardants, AC processing stabilizers, OP optical brighteners, and PG-40 and $5 Purge compounds for injection and extrusion.
