Our EcoForte compounds are made up of conventional plastics, providing high-quality solutions for today’s applications. However, our goal is to make compounding more sustainable by offering alternatives to traditional plastics. These compounds for the future incorporate recycled and biobased materials.
We provide solutions for all types of conventional plastics processing techniques, including film extrusion, injection moulding, and 3D printing. These customized polymer compounds are designed for high-end markets such as automotive, building & construction, electrical, packaging, solar, and medical industries.
Polyolefin based compounds
Although we aim to develop sustainable compounds for the future, the reality is that most products are still made from traditional polymers. We produce a variety of polyolefin-based compounds, incorporating materials such as glass fibres, talcum, flame retardants, etc., customized to meet the specific needs of our customers. We regularly engage in discussions with our customers to help them transition to more environmentally friendly alternatives.
Upcycled compounds
We work hard to manufacture and develop compounds for tomorrow. Our upcycled compounds are a great example of providing compounds that are future-proof.
We achieve this by incorporating recycled materials from both PCR and PIR waste streams through mechanical recycling. Our experts can enhance these recycled materials in our compounding process to offer sustainable alternatives that also have optimized properties for their intended use.
Biobased compounds
We develop and manufacture compounds using natural resources. Our compounds include natural fillers like coffee, wood, and hemp. We also work with biodegradable biopolymers such as PLA, PBAT, and PHA. By balancing properties, we create compounds that help create a more sustainable society.
Functional masterbatches
We have the ability to adjust polymers by using additives, allowing us to produce customized blends and modified polymers to enhance processability, appearance, or material properties. These masterbatches are typically added in small quantities during the plastic conversion process and are crucial for achieving the desired properties. Common additives in these formulations include UV stabilizers, antiblock agents, blowing agents, anti-static agents, slip agents, impact modifiers, and chain extenders.
