EXHIBITION PREVIEW | K2025

more sustainable alternatives to conventional fluoropolymer-based processing aids while maintaining strong performance standards, says Clariant. The new range includes AddWorks PPA 101 FG – for the EMEA, Americas and SEAP markets – and AddWorks PPA 122 G, for Greater China and SEAP. Both products are commercially available. “Our new AddWorks PPA product line repre- sents a breakthrough in sustainable polymer processing,” said Diederik Goyvaerts, global business development manager for polymer solutions at Clariant. “PFAS-free alternatives that match or exceed the performance of traditional processing aids helps our customers stay ahead of regulatory changes.” The formulations are free of PFAS, as well as
inorganic, silicone or polysiloxane materials. This ensures broad regulatory compliance, including suitability for food contact and food packaging applications. The new AddWorks PPA solutions deliver
processing improvements, including better extrusion efficiency, elimination of shark skin defects and superior film surface smoothness. AddWorks PPA 101 FG has a 100% active fine

grain composition that can be easily incorporated via host resin, masterbatch or concentrate. Ad- dWorks PPA 122 G comes in a convenient master- batch form for easy handling, requiring the same dosing level as traditional polymer processing aid masterbatches. The new processing aids are suitable for a range
of applications, including polyethylene blown and cast film extrusion processes. Film converters will benefit from the improved surface quality and processing efficiency they additives provide, says the company. �

Delta Tecnic will show a range of masterbatch and conductive compound solutions. It says its Super Small Pellet (SSP) is a “disruptive
breakthrough” that redefines the standards of colour homogenisation and efficiency in plastic manufacturing. The pellet, much smaller in size that traditional formats, enhances colour uniformity and minimises visual irregularities in the final product, it says. By incorporating more particles per unit area, SSP ensures even coverage, which is advantageous in applications such as PVC films and profiles. Its ultra-small particle size makes it ideal for use with PVC powder formulations, ensuring good miscibil- ity and colour uniformity.
Another solution to meet the demands of
environments where static electricity poses a critical risk is its conductive PVC. The company will showcase its dissipative and semi-conductive materials formulated with carbon black, NTC or graphene, which prevent problems in sensitive spaces such as operating rooms or manufacturing plants. It will also present masterbatch with metallic fibres that enable the production of dissipative products in colours other than black. It also offers masterbatch for recycled PVC,
which transforms recycled products by providing them with an attractive, uniform finish – allowing their reintroduction into the market and reducing carbon footprint. With a formulation adapted to the features of recycled PVC, the masterbatch corrects the colour irregularities typical of recovered materials. Colours can be customised in both standard shades (such as white and black) and specific formulations. �
