In line with our commitment to sustainability, we are proud to offer Evonik’s specialised additives designed to enhance the efficiency and quality of mechanical plastics recycling. These solutions help transform plastic waste into valuable resources.
Tego Cycle WA 111 is a non-foaming, non-ionic organic surfactant used in recycling for de-inking, de-labelling and demetallizing of plastic waste. Inks from labels are a source of gels and contamination as well as odour. Tego Cycle WA 111 has the added benefit of wetting polymer flakes, allowing for better floatation and separation in wash cycles. It performs the de-inking at room temperature provided sufficient agitation is present within the recycling process.
TEGO® Cycle DW 210: Reduces moisture during mechanical drying of recycled plastics by up to 70%, leading to higher throughput and cost reduction.
Tego Sorb PY 88 TQ is a zinc ricinoleate used as odour absorber with a key and locker principle. TEGO® Sorb PY 88 TQ especially suitable for the effective control of odours evolving from products like hydrogen sulphide, mercaptane, thioether, isovaleric acid, amines and ammonia.
Evonik offers solutions for improved processing and properties during compounding, leading to competitive costs and quality, and enabling higher recycled content.
Solutions include:
TEGOMER E525 and TEGOMER P 121: dispersants aiding in higher productivity and lower costs for filler dispersion; less agglomerates and aggregates; excellent clarity and reduction of speck formation in films or thin moulded parts while increasing the effect of colour strength
TEGOMER® H-Si 6441 P: is a multifunctional polyester modified siloxane that improves polymer processing (e.g. mould fill/release, internal lubrication, rheology of polymer melt) while improving bulk properties (e.g. impact and tensile strength, reduction of brittleness, hydrophobizing) as well as surface properties (e.g. scratch and wear resistance, lower surface friction, higher surface gloss)
TEGO® Antifoams prevent foam, e.g. in washing processes efficiently. Evonik have a wide range of extremely effective anti-foaming agents allowing for fast removal of foaming occurring in recycling processes, often as a result of detergents in packaged products. TEGO® Antifoams can be combined with non-foaming wetting agents such as TEGO® Cycle WA 120.
Evonik’s expertise extends across a wide range of polymer applications, offering additives that optimise performance, improve processing, and meet the demands of various industries.
Innovative solutions for increased fire safety.
Evonik dispersants improve flame retardance classification, due to the better distribution of the HFFR fillers. They additionally aid in outstanding distribution and processing also of untreated MDH and ATH grades as well as fast exfoliation of nano clays.
Evonik dispersants have the added benefit of reducing shear stress, giving smooth cable surfaces without affecting printability. These also reduce pressure build-up and amperage draw during extrusion.
ACCUREL® DS GRADES are masterbatches allowing transportation of AMEO; GLYMO; VTEO chemistries in a dry masterbatch form.
ACCUREL® CL GRADES are masterbatches allowing transportation of TMPTMA; TAC; TAIC chemistries in a dry masterbatch form.
Evonik’s high temperature resistant dispersants enable you to achieve the best colour enhancement, reduce fibre breaks and avoid lacing in polyolefin and engineering resins. As a compounder, you can take advantage from Evonik’s extensive range of additives to improve performance in fire resistance, melt flow or anti scratch behaviour.
Can be used to support the supply of liquid additives into various processing applications.
Evonik’s highly loaded additive concentrates enhance a wide range of film and sheet applications, including food, non-food and electronic packaging, green house and agricultural films, bubble films, recycled waste bags, metallised films, cover films, synthetic paper and more. They provide essential functionalities such as antistatic, antifog, demoulding efficiency and antiscratch performance for convertors in the film, packaging, foam and moulding industries. With a higher additive concentration and lower polymer content than conventional masterbatches, Evonik’s concentrates improve efficiency, performance and material handling while minimising foreign polymer content.
Evonik’s TEGOMER additives based on organo-modified siloxane (OMS) technology are the best alternative to conventional fluoropolymer technologies and are PFAS free.
Additives for durable, lightweight, and high-performance automotive parts.
Metal-plastic composites enable weight savings of up to 40%. Previously in order to achieve optimal mutual adhesion, the two materials were often glued to each other. Now, products such as our TEGO® XP 21010 have made this additional step unnecessary. With their functional groups they ensure that, at the boundary layer of both materials, the polymer-based fibre composite adheres optimally to the metal. Since the otherwise obligatory adhesive step is no longer required, the composite materials are inline, capable and can be used immediately.
In automotive interiors many manufacturers rely on modern materials such as plastics. TEGOMER® AntiScratch 100 and TEGOMER® H-Si 6441 H make these surfaces scratch-resistant helping the components to look new for much longer. The high molecular weight additive does not migrate out which provides many years of protection without the need for a coating
By partnering with Evonik, PlastiColors reinforces our commitment to providing you with the highest quality products and unparalleled technical support. Our team is ready to assist you in selecting the ideal Evonik additive solutions for your specific needs, helping you innovate, optimise, and achieve your sustainability goals.
