Functionality & Performance

We enhance the functionality and performance of plastics and synthetic fibers. For example, we can increase the stiffness of automotive parts like bumpers.

We also improve film transparency by reducing the formation of water droplets and as a result, enhancing the appeal of food packaged in plastic film.

Discover the effects our additives & colorants provide:

Light Management: our range of additives are aimed at modifying the incident radiation.

Polymer & Surface Modification: our novel chain extender enhances the processability and broadens the use of polyester (PET). It also upgrades the PET quality and improves its mechanical properties. Our new polypropylene modifier brings high standards to nonwoven fabrics. It enhances barrier properties, improves mechanical properties and broadens the bonding window.

Nucleation: the use of our nucleating agents affects the properties and the processing of polypropylene and significantly expands its application window.

Transparency: Clarifying agents dramatically improve the transparency of polypropylene and allow the production of clear and glossy items out of polypropylene. The processing and mechanical properties are also positively impacted by the use of clarifiers.

Antistatic: our antistatic additives provide long-lasting antistatic effect by reducing surface resistivity thus allowing dissipation of electrostatic charges.
