Their own high-performance antistatic masterbatch with a long lasting effect, has been further developed by the family business from Blankenhain. The product was introduced at the K 2019. “We have adapted the recipe and optimized it for other carrier materials. Depending on the application and storage conditions, the long-term effect can last up to four years. It occurs immediately after the end product has been manufactured,” explains additive specialist Dr. Carlos Caro, referring to the special feature of the development. “The surface resistance is in the static-dissipative range between 10E6 and 10E9 ohms. These values are very difficult to achieve with other products on the market”. The high-performance antistatic masterbatch has several compelling effects. It avoids the occurrence of sudden discharges, reduces dust attraction on surfaces and minimizes the risk of explosions. “This provides better protection for both staff and sensitive electrical equipment,” says the expert. “The product can be combined with colour masterbatches or fillers as desired by the customer. The lower dosage of 2 to a maximum of 5 percent results in effective cost savings”. In addition, the antistatic substances can also be used as lubricants or demoulding aids. The areas of application for the additive are therefore diverse. “Applications are possible in the areas of film extrusion, injection moulding, blow moulds, staple fibres and nonwovens as well as deep-drawn parts,” explains the expert, but points out that this only applies to the industrial sector. “The high-performance antistatic masterbatch can also be used in the non-food sector for transparent and colourless articles. Applications with food contact or in medical technology are not possible”.

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.

As a well-established and reliable partner for Tier 1 customers and OEMs, ROMIRA can also provide you with “ready-to-mold” plastics solutions for your projects while also offering targeted consulting and product modification services right up to volume production. Here, ROMIRA contributes not only its production expertise but also its competencies in developing new, innovative specialist products, offering customers a broad-based portfolio of materials with both industry-proven and tailor-made properties – such as • High impact strength, even at low temperatures • Low VOC emission and fogging values • High thermal deformation resistance • Good UV stability • Specialised types of materials with a high-gloss or matte appearance • Good anti-scratch qualities – for a wide variety of interior and exterior applications. With the use of additives, other, customer-specific properties are also possible – such as anti-static characteristics, particular haptic qualities, etc. Thanks to our many years of experience in engineering plastics, ROMIRA is able to advise you on any issue related to your choice of materials or applications engineering.

Bespoke plastics are becoming increasingly significant for the construction sector. Here, engineering plastics can offer excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion caused by aqueous solutions, acids and bases – areas where metal parts in particular are bound to fail. Whether for window sections or piping, cable channels or housing facades, construction materials have to stand up to a wide range of demanding requirements. With their special property characteristics, our filled and unfilled LURANYL® PPE/PS-I and PPE/PA blends offer an outstanding foundation on which to base demanding applications such as extrusion-moulded pipes and sections or the manufacturing of especially complex injection-moulded pipes. ROMIRA has also been supplying a number of its own LURANYL® blends with KTW, ACS and WRAS approval since 2002, for deployment both in cold-water and hot-water applications. ROMIRA offers you a versatile portfolio of plastics solutions specifically customised and tailored to your individual requirements. Easy to handle and highly effective, they offer you a steady stream of deployment options in shell construction and interior fit-out. ROMIRA is happy to advise you on your plans and offers support for new developments or improvements to your existing products.

With their specialised material properties, engineering plastics are especially suited to deployment as insulators, heat and electrical conductors or for use in antistatic housing. Ease of processing, low weight and superior corrosion resistance also offer other good reasons why thermoplastic materials enjoy broad-based use for these kinds of applications. ROMIRA can offer expert guidance in selecting the material suited to your application from our comprehensive range of products featuring specialised materials – offering • High electrical conductivity or insulation • Flame retardant qualities • Good chemical resistance • High thermal deformation resistance • Dimensional stability

Engineering plastics are represented in many applications right across the agri-/horticultural sector. Whether in irrigation systems or for the construction of lighting and other fittings, many customers value the versatility of ROMIRA’s plastics in terms of the ease with which they can be shaped and coloured, their weather-resistant qualities, and their chemical and mechanical properties. ROMIRA can offer you a broad palette of specialised compounds and blends for specific applications – such as • UV protection • Aesthetical qualities • Flame retardant qualities • Thermal dimensional stability • Impact resistance (also at low temperatures) Which are an outstanding choice for end products to be used on golf courses, in horticulture and agriculture, and for use by private landowners. Talk to us about your issues and needs – and we’ll work together to develop the solution!

ROMIRA's smart product solutions not only let you increase profitability and product performance but help you to design entirely new products, to lift your business head and shoulders above the competition. ROTEC® compounds are compliant with standards for food contact materials and drinking water, for example, and can be found in many articles of daily use. Examples of such products include the ROTEC® AES compounds newly developed with our customers for products in the cosmetics sector, as well as ROMILOY® PC/ASA blends for supermarket shopping trolleys. Whether you need superior surface characteristics – UV protection • Flame retardant qualities • Thermal dimensional stability • Impact resistance (also at low temperatures) or • Compliance with food, drinking water or toy standards (DIN EN 71-3) We are happy to advise you on your plans and offer support for new products or improvements to our existing solutions.
