New additives said to add value to plastics

Clariant has announced a new brand of polymer additives solutions, both of them application oriented.

The specialty chemicals company has launched AddWorks, its new brand of solutions, which features AddWorks and AddWorks LXR.

The first is reportedly specifically designed by segments of the plastics industry and the latter aims to provide particular effects in a wide variety of applications.

Ernesto Dongiovanni, Head of Marketing Polymer Additives at Clariant said: “AddWorks is all about making it simple for customers. We want to provide a solution that works and fits our customers’ needs, in order to contribute to their success.”

The new additives are said to be developed to match the needs of companies engineering technologies for polymerisation, polymer producers, compounders and converters.

Clariant says AddWorks and AddWorks LXR address customer requirements in a comprehensive but specific way and provide benefits such as heightened productivity, stability and durability of converted parts, or protection of manufactured articles during their process.
