Performance Additives for Thermoplastics
Plastic compounders are facing new challenges when it comes to the quality, productivity and profitability of thermoplastics. As a committed partner to the plastics industry, WACKER is constantly exploring new and innovative approaches. A perfect example is our line of GENIOPLAST® silicone-based plastic additives that are supplied as conveniently-sized pellets and, with their broad performance spectrum, can be used in all compounding processes in the plastics industry.
Along with VINNEX® resins and VINNEX® powders (both polyvinyl acetate-based), they also expand the range of applications offered by biopolymers. A combination of VINNEX® and GENIOPLAST® enhances the processing and material properties of bioplastics.
