‘Your partner in polymer compounding’

Polytechs is among the largest independent compounders on the European continent.  Since 1980, Polytechs has been developing and producing specialty compounds and masterbatches which improve properties and processing of plastics materials.  Polytechs has grown steadily at 10% per year and currently has an annual capacity of over 35,000 metric tons per year.

Polytech’s core business is custom toll compounding.  Polytechs also has a growing business developing, manufacturing and marketing a range of additive masterbatches of which some – cling masterbatches for example – have a leading position in the market.

PRODUCT EXAMPLES:

PIB Cling Masterbatch (PW52, PW60 and PW66):                         

PW52, PW60 and PW66 are concentrates of Polyisobutylene (PIB) tackifier designed to produce stretch film from LLDPE, LDPE or other polyolefins for the applications of palletwrap, silagewrap and foodwrap.  PW52, PW60 and PW66 can be used in both blown or cast film processes.  All are dry, free flowing pellets.  Migration time for good cling properties is typically 24-48 hours.  Download Data Sheets:  PW52, PW60, PW66

Atactic Polypropyle Masterbatch (PX 004/V):                          

PX004 is a fully saturated ethylene-propylene copolymer at 55% concentration in LLDPE.  Principle use is as a cling additive to produce low noise stretch film.  It also has use as a carrier for pigments & fillers and as a process aid & impact modifier in polyamide.         Download Data Sheets:  PX 004/V

Purge Compounds (Clean LDPE, Clean LLDPE, Clean HDPE and Clean PP)

Clean LDPE is a purge compound containing a high mixture of mechanical and chemical cleaning agents on a LDPE base resin.  It is used to reduce the cleaning time with PE or PVC resins, while extruding films, cables, compounds & masterbatches or for an injection molding process.  The use of Clean LDPE just before dismantling an extrusion line can reduce cleaning times by more than 50%.  It also significantly reduces the amount of scrap generated. Clean HDPE and Clean PP are particularly adapted for HDPE and PP extrusion, respectively.  Download Data Sheets:  CleanLDPE, CleanLLDPE, CleanHDPE, CleanPP

Viscosity Modifiers (VM PP 5X and VM PP10X)
