Solutions that enable use of recycled materials

Antioxidants - Thermal Stabilization

Prevent thermal degradation of the resin during processing and/or provide long-term heat stability.
Especially important for re-stabilization of PCRs and regrinds.

Odor Scavengers

Absorb and eliminate bad odors associated with processing recycled materials and certain additives, fillers, and pigments.

Desiccants

Absorb and eliminate internal moisture to avoid occurence of associated defects. Can shorten or replace time and energy-consuming pre-drying processes.

Compatibilizers and Modifiers

Compatibilizers couple and improve adhesion of foreign resin contamination and prevents delamination, mechanical and optical defects.
Modifiers (boosters) improve mechanical properties, such as impact strength.

Flow Enhancers

Increase and stabilize melt flow of the resin, allowing for easier processing.

Chain Extender

Re-increases intrinsic viscosity (IV) of PET and other polycondensation resins and preserves virgin properties, making time-consuming processes redundant.

Color Upgrader

Ensures articles made with recycled materials accurately maintain the precise color of the specific application.

Solutions that improve processability and production yield

Mold Release

Enables demolding of complex articles.

Lubricants

Improve melt-flow and mold-fill rates, eliminating flow-related defects

Nucleators

Encourage nucleation and increase crystallinity, reduce cycle times and warpage, and improve mechanical and optical properties.

Heating

Increase efficiency of downstream re-heat processes, such as thermoforming and blow- molding.

Purge and Shutdown Compounds

Enable fast and easy color/material changeover and reduce downtime and material waste

Color and functional solutions

Foaming Agents

Enable reduction of density (lightweighting) and elimination of sink marks.

NIR - Detectable Black and Silver

Provide strong, opaque and deep black or silver coloration, without interfering with NIR- sortability and recyclability.

Laser Marking and Welding

Enable laser marking or welding using laser devices.

UV

Standalone and combi-batches with colors for light and weather stabilization.
Please contact Tosaf for specific recommendation.

Reinforcement

Glass fiber, natural fiber, and mineral compounds for that improve mechanical properties.

Color and Effects

Standard and on-demand color solutions and special and unique effects.

Sustainable Fillers

Reduce plastic content of the product by using fillers collected from the market, such as coffee grounds and eggshells.
