Masterbatch Expertise for Flat Films, Extruded Sheets and Semi-Finished Products
We develop tailor-made solutions for your sheet extrusion and flat films. You benefit from short production times, our extensive colour library and test facilities for a wide range of applications.
Extruded sheets and semi-finished products are a demanding field with a high degree of variance that requires a close look at economic efficiency. With more than 35 years of experience in colour masterbatches, additives and compounds, we develop your tailor-made solution for sheet and film applications. From customised product illustrations with different surface structures (e.g. eroded, glossy or with graining possible) to flat films in different thicknesses. Our short development and production times enable you to react quickly to market requirements and bring your products to market in a timely manner.
Carrier systems and quality specifications
We use polymer-identical carrier systems for polyester and co-polyester types, styrene-based materials, thermoplastic elastomers and technical polymers such as PC, PMMA and blends. Our focus is always on maintaining your physical polymer properties. We take marketability and your quality specifications such as temperature stability, light/food fastness, viscosity, etc. into account.
Areas of application for our sheets and films
Our masterbatches for extruded sheets and semi-finished products are used in numerous industries. These include the furniture and packaging industry, transport systems, mechanical and vehicle engineering, the construction industry, electrical and laboratory technology, the solar, photovoltaic and wind industries, the toy and sports industries, medical technology and many more.
