This latest addition to the Additives for Recycling (A4R) portfolio of solutions helps bring incompatible polymers, such as PP and PE, together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification and will be exhibited at the upcoming Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing.

Eight of the new grades can be overmolded on polypropylene (PP) and the ninth grade bonds to both PP and polyethylene (PE).

Additional iterations are in development for other high-performance resins, including polyethersulfone (PES) and polysulfone (PSU).

With better heat and crush resistance versus foamed PE and FEP, Maxxam foamable formulations also include options for non-ADCA and non-halogen, low smoke and fume, and flame retardancy.

The colorant solutions are available in PP and PE (HDPE and LDPE) and produced with ingredients tested to European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3 and 3.1.5 as well as to USP chapters , including class VI (a requirement for ophthalmic and nasal drugs) and USP and (light transmission).

Available as a granular masterbatch for injection molding, thermoforming or extrusion, these new additives offer superior performance for most clear polymers, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene (PS).
