PLASTIWARD Counterfeiting Protection Rethinking in-product security for plastic made articles in multiple applications Are you a plastic articles manufacturer keen on taking your mission of providing end-consumers with a safe product to the next level? If so, PLASTIWARD for plastic articles offers you fake-checking in real-time. THE BENEFITS PLASTIWARD brings counterfeiting protection of plastic articles as close as possible to the end consumers by integrating taggants into your products’ polymer masterbatch, complying with required regulations and minimizing any impact on production.

Cesa™ & OnCap™ Anti-blocking Additives In order to prevent self-adhesion of plastic films or sheets, anti-blocking additives reduce the surface coefficient of friction by creating a slightly rougher or smoother surface. Cesa™ Stat Additives & OnCap™ Anti-static Additives Static charges that build up on the surface of plastic products can attract dust and dirt, cause sheets and film to cling, and cause stacked products to stick together. Cesa™ Nox Additives Cesa Nox antioxidant solutions help plastics maintain shine and transparency while preventing yellowing, surface cracking, and odors often caused by oxidation and heat aging.

Plastics In many ways, plastics are a perfect example of why a circular economy is so important. If not recycled properly, plastics can ends up in a landfill or, even worse, the ocean. Efforts can be made and systems can be built to keep discarded plastic in the economy to either be upcycled, recycled, reused or composted.

PHTHALATES IN PLASTICS KNOWING THE FACTS Phthalates are a group of chemicals used to make plastics, and in particular polyvinyl chloride (PVC), more flexible. Examples of common applications include medical tubing, inflatables, packaging film and sheets, garden hoses, toys and automotive plastics. Selected for their strong performance and durability, phthalates are the most commonly used plasticizers in the world.1 In recent years, concerns have been raised over the use of phthalates, giving rise to myths and unfounded speculation.

However, pigments used to color plastic parts can cause warping or shrinking, leading to dosing inaccuracy or even malfunctioning healthcare devices. The Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives portfolio includes nucleating agents that neutralize the negative effect pigments can have on the mechanical properties of the finished plastic part. By improving mechanical properties, wall-thinning and reduced material usage can be achieved, without compromising the performance of the plastic part.

Cesa™ Laser Additives Laser welding solutions Laser plastic welding, also often referred to as transmission welding, is a process of bonding plastic parts using focused laser radiation. A laser beam is directed onto two plastic parts, one that is transparent to the laser energy and one that absorbs the energy. This creates a joint melting pool of both parts and a weld seam that strongly bonds the two plastic parts together.

Because this supplier fabricates with both metal and plastic in its operations, the team decided to find out if converting metal parts to plastic would be an option. Having experience in plastic injection molding, Smart Hero knew the material also had to have excellent flow characteristics to be able to fill the complex geometry required for the light. Most importantly, the plastic light had to have lower manufacturing costs than the painted metal light.

LEARN MORE Enables bottle to bottle circularity through a novel oxygen scavenging technology for the PET beverage packaging market. This functional additive enables processors to use up to 10-20% less plastic. We recognize the importance of responsibly managing plastic pellet loss within our operations.
