Additive Solutions for Plastics Processing and Performance
Enhance processing stability, product quality, and long-term performance with tailored additive masterbatches and compounds.
Nexam Chemical offers a complete additive portfolio designed to work in real production environments — supporting both virgin and recycled materials.
Challenges in plastics processing and performance
Plastic products often require additional functionality to meet processing and application requirements.
Typical challenges include:
- Instability during extrusion or moulding
- Poor flow or release behaviour
- Surface defects or handling issues
- Degradation during processing or use
- Limited durability in demanding environments
Additives tailored to your process and application
Nexam Chemical develops masterbatches and compounds that provide the required functionality during both processing and end-use.
Our additive solutions are designed to:
- Improve processing efficiency and stability
- Enhance product performance and durability
- Reduce downtime and increase output
- Adapt materials to specific application requirements
Key additive functions
Our portfolio includes a wide range of solutions:
Stabilization and protection
- UV stabilizers (HALS, UV absorbers)
- Antioxidants (AO)
Processing and surface performance
- Slip and mould release agents
- Antiblock agents
- Processing aids (PFAS-free)
- Cleaning compounds
Material performance
- Impact modifiers
- Mineral masterbatch (increased stiffness)
- Viscosity modifiers and melt strength enhancers
Additional functional solutions
- Antistatic additives — reduce static build-up
- Laser marking additives — enable permanent product marking
- Desiccant masterbatch — remove moisture and prevent defects during processing
How additives improve your production
Our additive masterbatches create value throughout the production chain:
- Improved process stability and reduced downtime
- Higher productivity and output
- Better surface quality and handling
- Enhanced durability and resistance to UV and oxidation
- Improved mechanical performance
Custom solutions for your application
All additive systems can be tailored to:
- Polymer type (PE, PP, PET, engineering plastics)
- Processing method (extrusion, injection, blow moulding)
- Application requirements
This ensures optimal performance for your specific production setup.
Integrated solutions including colour
Additives can be combined with colour masterbatch solutions to create combi-masterbatch systems, simplifying dosing and improving consistency.
For recycled materials, tailored solutions can be integrated with ReColour Plus™ to ensure both appearance and performance.
Improve processing and product performance
From stabilization to processing and performance, Nexam Chemical provides additive solutions that improve efficiency, quality, and durability in plastics production.
