    Plastics are part of our daily life from commonly used objects such as packaging or cables, to the more sophisticated components for the mechanical engineering, automotive, construction or electro/electronic industries. That is why we partner with the world’s leading manufacturers to offer an extensive portfolio of specialty chemicals, additives, and colors necessary for the processing and modification of thermoplastic, thermosetting and PVC polymers. Our customers trust that alongside our technical expertise, product knowledge and innovative approach in all things plastic, we offer an extensive Pan-European distribution network and exceptional customer service. In addition, our in-depth industry experience and knowledge extends from the development of sophisticated state-of-the-art components that accommodate pioneering innovations and solutions in engineering to the implementation of more rigorous recycling consolidation and sustainable practices.

    Barrier Additive

    The pure polymers are often insufficient to be used for food packaging, due to low-medium gas barrier attributes, thermal stability, and low solvent water resistance. The barrier additives improve permeability of a polymer to oxygen or moisture.
