polymer additives Product Innovations Targeted to Customer Demands BrüggemannChemical continuously develops speciality additives in response to the requirements of the market. More than 30 years experience in the polymer industry, along with the technical expertise and close partnerships with customers, are the basis for the timely development of innovative solutions. This enables customers to enhance the value of their products to meet the ever increasing technical demands in their marketplace. A key part of the product range are tailor-made and well-balanced additive packages, so-called “One-Packs”. These are mixtures of two or more additives and present solutions for specific applications in customized product forms, i.e. as powder, pellet or masterbatch. “One-Packs” offer significant advantages for polymer producers and converters: n Improved dosing accuracy n Less off-spec material n Homogeneous resin quality n Simplified manufacturing n Lower cost in purchasing, warehousing and quality control BReduced operating cost! “One-Packs” as dust-free pellets or granules provide further benefits: n Improved flow-ability, easier conveying and feeding n Better workspace hygiene BAnalogous to masterbatch utilization, but more efficient due to almost 100% concentration of active components!
