TAILOR-MADE POLYMER ADDITIVES
FOR THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY
Break through technical limits with our tailor-made polymer additives – and unlock a new level of performance for your production processes.
Your materials, our additives. Achieving more together.
Polytives offers a modular platform for polymer-based additives that can be precisely tailored to existing raw material systems. As a material owner, you benefit from new degrees of freedom in formulation development – without compromising on sustainability or performance. Quite the opposite.
Our tailor-made polymer additives integrate seamlessly into your product lines – enabling differentiating properties and market-ready innovations.
Adaptable to your systems:
We collaboratively develop additive solutions that harmonize perfectly with your base materials – whether fossil-based, bio-based, or recycled.
Creating market advantages:
Unlock new applications – for example, through improved flow properties, lower processing temperatures, or higher filler content.
Efficient in implementation:
Our flexible platform enables us to carry out developments in a targeted and application-oriented manner.
Sustainable and future-ready:
Our additives open up new pathways to more energy-efficient processes and CO₂-optimized materials.
Looking to upgrade your product portfolio with smarter solutions?
We deliver the additive component tailored to your goals. The following can be achieved:
%
Cycle time reduction
Even small amounts of additive significantly reduce cycle times. Combined with an optimized overall process, this unlocks great potential for increased efficiency and more sustainable production.
%
Economic efficiency
By reducing cycle times alone, up to 15% of total process costs can be saved. A clear lever for more economical production without compromising quality – and thus a distinct competitive advantage.
%
Lower processing heat
The expansion of the processing window achieved by lowering the processing temperature enables the use of temperature-sensitive fillers and additives. Additionally, it provides long-term protection for both machinery and materials.
%
Safe to use
Our polymeric additives are completely safe: they contain no PFAS, no silicones, and are entirely free from migrating substances. Ideal for demanding applications with a focus on responsibility.
