Addforce PE and OPE waxes are versatile additives for modern plastics applications. They support the processing of compounds, masterbatches, extrusion applications, coatings and recycled materials. Acting as lubricants, dispersing agents and processing aids, they help improve process stability, promote the uniform distribution of pigments and fillers, and contribute to optimized surface quality. Addforce PE and OPE waxes offer users a reliable solution for making processing operations more efficient while enhancing the quality of the final product.
Give Your Products the Wow Factor: Discover the Power of Our WTH-Brighteners!
Optical brighteners are utilized across various industries such as paper, detergent, and textile, to enhance color brilliance and refine product appearance. Imagine a red that loses its vibrancy after just a few days – a situation easily remedied with optical brighteners! These compounds not only impart gloss to colors but also intensify the white in paints and coatings, safeguard against yellowing, and effectively manage adhesives. They are chemical compounds introduced into materials to achieve brightening effects.
Prevention Over Repair: The Crucial Role of WTH Antioxidants!
Antioxidants protect polymers against radical degradation reactions triggered by various factors such as heat or mechanical stresses. Without their use, this can lead to functional loss in end products. Highly effective primary antioxidants, based on sterically hindered phenols or organic phosphite compounds, are essential for safeguarding against thermo-oxidative degradation. They serve both as processing aids and long-term stabilizers. Combining them with co-stabilizers optimizes polymer protection.
The Invisible Heroes: Light Stabilizers and UV Absorbers!
Diverse light stabilizers and UV absorbers, ranging from Benzophenone and Benzotriazole to polymer/monomer HALS types, serve as the backbone for plastic and rubber protection. Additives like WTH-LS (light protection agents) and WTH-AN (antioxidants) form the foundation of polymer processing. Light stabilizers and UV absorbers shield plastics from light-induced damage, preventing subsequent harm. With their high absorption capabilities, UV absorbers safeguard polymers from harmful UV radiation, while light protection agents offer low volatility, ensuring sustained protection.
Applications of Plant-Based Primary Amide Waxes in Industry and Production
Primary amide waxes offer a wide range of applications in various industries, from plastics production to the rubber industry. As a slip additive, they optimize the processing behavior of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), improve the transparency of polyolefin films and increase the flow properties. In rubber production, they act as release agents and reduce the sulfurization process, while in the printing industry they are used as an aid for even color distribution. Their plant-based basis and production in state-of-the-art facilities also underline their sustainable profile.
Safety and Sustainability: The Path of Modern Flame Retardants
Flame retardants are essential to protecting materials from fire and heat. Used in products from textiles to electronics, these chemicals are constantly evolving, driven by stricter safety standards and growing environmental awareness. The future of these substances lies in the development of eco-friendly formulas that offer safety without compromise while being kind to the environment. Modern flame retardants, free of toxic ingredients, not only effectively prevent fires but also contribute to environmental protection and minimize health risks.
Green Process Power: Rice Bran Waxes for Smart Processing and Sustainable Added Value! BIO-R® waxes are bio-based alternatives to fossil-based Montana wax. They improve melt flow, demoulding and dispersion while supporting glossy results.
The WTH-Bio-R series offers bio-based rice bran waxes as a sustainable alternative to fossil-based montan waxes. For the plastics processing industry and KUTENO-relevant applications, they are particularly suitable for TPE, TPU, PET, PA, PC, compounds, masterbatches, resins, coatings and nucleating agents. The series includes four product types: oxidised, esterified, saponified and micronized rice bran waxes. This allows different requirements in processing, formulation and performance to be addressed precisely. WTH-Bio-R waxes support flexible formulations, improve processing and combine bio-based origin with reliable performance for modern plastics applications
