Beyond a diversified suite of magnesium-based additives already available for this market, we are actively developing the next generation of these unique products, including tailormade solutions with functionalities engineered to boost the performance, efficiency and sustainability of recycled plastics or retain virgin-like properties. By enhancing color, reducing odor, improving melt flow and minimizing gels, we can achieve consistent, high-quality outcomes together and accelerate the shift towards a more sustainable plastics value chain.
