Plastics

From pigments to functional fillers: Profiltra supports plastic producers with materials that contribute to consistent colour, stable properties and reliable production of plastic products.

Challenges in the plastics industry

In the plastics industry, materials are developed that must meet specific requirements for strength, appearance and processability. During the compounding and processing process, raw materials must be mixed homogeneously to guarantee consistent properties of the finished product.

Pigments and additives play an important role in determining the colour and material properties of plastic products. At the same time, formulations must remain stable during processing at high temperatures and under mechanical load. Manufacturers therefore look for materials that contribute to consistent colour, reliable properties and stable production processes in plastics processing.

Materials for plastic compounds and formulations

Profiltra supplies materials used in plastic compounds and formulations. For example, we supply different types of pigments, including organic pigments, inorganic pigments and fluorescent pigments, as well as carbon black for applications where colour and material properties are important.

In addition, Profiltra supplies functional fillers such as diatomite, calcium minerals and cellulose fibers that can contribute to the structure and properties of plastic materials. With these materials, Profiltra supports manufacturers in selecting raw materials that fit their plastics production and the desired properties of the finished product.

Materials for consistent colour and properties in plastic products

In plastics production, raw materials play an important role in both the appearance and the properties of the finished product. Pigments determine the colour of plastic materials, while fillers and other materials can contribute to structure and material properties. For manufacturers, it is important that these materials behave stably during compounding and processing.

Profiltra supplies materials used in plastic compounds, such as pigments and functional fillers. By carefully selecting these materials, manufacturers can develop plastic products with consistent colour, stable properties and reliable performance in a wide range of applications.
