Additives and Functional Fillers
Additives and Functional Fillers
Compounds are mixtures of plastics, additives and functional fillers. By "additives" we mean the wide variety of stabilizers, fillers and aggregates for all types of plastics. Degradation caused by light, oxygen, heat, moisture, high-energy radiation, media or microbiology must be prevented by stabilizers during production, storage, processing, use and recycling. Nucleating agents, transparency enhancers, slip agents, demolding aids and many other substances are also used to give the plastics special properties. A compound is characterized in its properties by the appropriate use and quantity of these additives.
Functional fillers give plastics properties that are more than the sum of their parts: Fiber reinforcement, electrical and thermal conductivity, and masterbatches are filled and highly filled plastics with extraordinary properties, for example, for electromobility. We are available to answer all your questions about formulations, modes of action and interactions, and we can produce sample quantities for you on our laboratory equipment in the extrusion pilot plant.
