polymeric additives
innovative | polymer-based | customizable
Polytives develops and produces innovative plastic additives, offering you a simple path to next-generation plastics. Our cutting-edge solutions address the common challenges faced by experts in plastic processing on a daily basis, such as high viscosities, excessive output, inconsistent quality, and more. Thanks to the expertise embedded in our plastic additives, these issues are resolved without compromising the material's other properties.
Whether you seek to enhance process efficiency, improve production workflows, or boost the performance of your plastic granulates - especially in the context of recyclates or general recycling and regranulation - our polymer additives offer a significant advantage. Whether it’s a standard product or a tailored solution from our innovation hub, enhanced performance is guaranteed. Process optimization without compromise: With polymer plastic additives from Polytives.
UNIVERSAL PLASTIC ADDITIVES FROM POLYTIVES
These are your advantages:
energy-optimised compounds
Compounds that flow better with the same material properties. The added value is almost self-explanatory: Saving energy in the form of pressure or temperature, better filling of delicate parts, thinner-walled production. This is made possible by the polymer additives from Polytives. See for yourself.
a slimmed-down raw material portfolio
make recycled materials the first choice
Recyclates are widely discussed as a sustainable alternative and play a key role in the targeted closed-loop system. However, fluctuating quality and poor availability have been dealbreakers thus far. Polytives’ plastic additives offer a significant advantage here. For example, they can elevate the quality of extrusion materials to match that of injection molding products.
Applicable across industries and customized on request - your competitive advantage with our polymer additives
Our polymer additives adapt perfectly to your formulation as they are polymers themselves and fit seamlessly into your process. Reduce cycle times, lower temperatures, reduce pressures and thereby lower your costs. Secure a clear competitive advantage with us through innovation!
Use our plastic additives to make your moulding compounds, lacquers, coatings and printer inks more flowable at the same temperature. Or lower the temperatures and discover new possibilities for material processing. A reduced temperature difference, addition of temperature-sensitive
materials, shorter cooling times, material and machine conservation, more flexible machine utilisation - and much more. Our customers' experience shows that there is potential for optimisation in the exchange of ideas. And you also save CO2 in your process and thus reduce your footprint.
Quality management
Our company works according to the guidelines and requirements of ISO 9001:2015, for which we have also been certified. For the areas of development, production, and sales, you can be sure that we are a reliable, pragmatic, and customer-oriented partner.
