Additives are selected depending on the type of polymers to which they will be added or the application for which they will be used. Appropriate selection of additives helps develop value-added plastics with improved durability as well as other advantages. Built around products we have developed ourselves, we offer a range of additives that can be used for a wide variety of applications.
