GASES FOR THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY
Gases for the plastics industry:
GASES FOR AEROSOL SPRAYS:
AERON®-Mixture of propane, n-butane and isobutane as propellants for aerosol sprays. Composition and pressure of the mixture are adjusted to individual requirements.
GASES FOR FOAMING:
N-PENTAN,C-PENTAN,DME–Used for foaming in production of polyurethane based insulation systems, sandwich type systems, insulation of cooling equipment and transmission systems for various media.
FILLERS:
NATURAL BARYTE -A wide range of mineral barium sulphates offered according to the grain size and degree of whiteness. They are used in various plastic and rubber products.
BLANC FIXE -SYNTHETIC BARIUM SULFATE -Precipitated barium sulphate offered in three varieties. A high quality and durability product used as a filler in plastic, natural and synthetic rubber products.
PORAVER® -Foam glass granulate. Offered in 6 standard varieties depending on the grain size. Due to its small weight and excellent sound and thermal insulation properties it is a perfect raw material for production of thermal insulation and soundproof boards.
EXTENDERS:
SILITIN / AKTISIL – KAOLONITE CLAY CLEAN AND MODIFIED – Micromolecular (2-8 microns), used as a functional extender in plastics and rubber. It’s application considerably improves a number of physical and chemical properties including increased high temperature resistance which in turn improves size stability of the finished product. Its very good dispersibility in mass improves the structure of the polymer- filler combination resulting in higher hardness and elasticity of the product as well as smoother and at the same time more scratch resistant surface of the finished product. Moreover, it increases product’s resistance to chemicals and corrosion. It lower so called “Contraction” and increases flow parameters. The extender can be used in combination with glass fibre. Apart from all types of natural and synthetic rubber and thermoplastics such as PA, PC, PEK, PPO, Polysulfone, PVB, PE/EVA, PVAC, it is also used in PUR, PES and Epoxy resins.
MICA– A functional extender most commonly in the form of Phlogopite (reddish-brown) and Muscovite (greyish-white). Due to its natural colour the Phlogopite is used for applications in darker colours i.e. black, brown where it additionally allows to lower the content of pigments. The Muscovite is used in white materials and pale shades of other colours. The mineral is characterised by high thermal and chemical resistance. It is highly anticorrosive, used in applications prone to UV radiation and improves a number of physical and chemical parameters in plastic products. Its main advantages include higher resistance to cracking and better flexibility. Mica’s sheet structure creates a barrier which means that all the particles are laid horizontally and form a layer protecting against the light and having a positive influence on smoothness of the surface and its elasticity. The product has good electric properties, it is a good dielectric and it is resistant to electric breakdowns. Used in construction thermoplastics, frequently in combination with other extenders i.e. glass fibre, talc, chalk, etc. The extender is used in construction thermosoftening plastics and in processing of epoxy, polyester and polyurethane resins. Our offer includes fractions with different grain sizes which are adjusted to the type of processing and customers’ needs.
INNOSOLIDS ® – LIQUID COLOURING AGENTS FOR PLASTICS
A wide range of liquid colouring agents for almost all types of plastics. An alternative for powdered colouring agents and granulated concentrates. We offer standard colouring agents as well as transparent, fluorescent, pearl, metallic, and glittering ones. Modern technology, efficiency and simplicity of application make our liquid colouring agents a more and more popular method of colouring plastics. Our offer includes equipment for dosing liquid colouring agents directly to the polymer in the production machinery and a cleaning agent for screws and cylinders.
GRANULATED COLOURING AGENTS:
!!!! N E W !!!! Granulated colouring agents for plastics – INNOSOLIDS®. Colouring agents of the DLC (Dry Liquid Color) type based on an innovative technology. Highly efficient, combining advantages of traditional polymer matrix based ‘masterbatches’ and liquid colouring agents on carriers derivatives of fatty acids esters. Simplicity of dosing by means of traditional volumetric and gravimetric dosing equipment. Lower melting point resulting in faster homogenisation and lack of negative impact of the agent on the process itself. Precise colouring, “without smudges” even with “short worms” and production using recycled raw materials (i.e. RPET). Perfect solution for problematic and stable production lines. Majority of colouring agents from this range are products responding to requirements of individual customers. These colouring agents guarantee the highest quality as a reference sample taken at the beginning of each process and accepted by the customer is used as the basis for further production series. Depending on customer’s requirements we can supply granulate with a different melting point adjusted to the application especially if the plastic used as a raw material in the process has to be dried. Melting point can vary from 60 to 160 ˚C. In addition, each of our customers has with us a warehouse in Poland, where we always have a sufficient stock of particular colouring agents.
PIGMENTS:
ORGANIC DCC PIGMENTS
Choice of pigments for paints, construction materials and plastics. We offer a wide range of yellow, red, orange pigments as well as purple, blue and green ones.
