ADVERA®Specialty Zeolites More recently, PQ introduced a new line of ADVERA® specialty zeolite products designed to meet changing and increasingly sophisticated market demands. ADVERA® specialty zeolites are used in a variety of applications in which zeolites provide molecular sieving, adsorption, separation, ion exchange, desiccation, water release, and filler/carrier functions. ADVERA® specialty zeolites are an important part of the plastics and polymers industry where they act as excellent co-stabilizers for PVC and other applications. Advera® WMA is part of a new green technology to produce and place asphalt mix at temperatures 50° to 70° F lower than traditional hot mix asphalt. This means lower emissions, reduced energy use, improved workability, and road compaction. For more information, go to www.adverawma.com Custom ProductsCan't find what you're looking for?
