Overview
Plastics are materials consisting of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic compounds that can be molded into solid objects. Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass derived from petrochemicals but recently renewable materials such as polylactic acid from corn or cellulosics have been introduced into the market. Rubber can be considered elastomers, and when compared to plastics, they are more elastic. ... Synthetic rubber is derived from crude oil, whereas synthetic plastic is made of petroleum and natural gas.
New Developments:
VB WHITE is a synthetic barium sulphate characterised by high purity and unique particle size 0.03 ums with complete hydrophobicity and are ideal for plastic barriers in Ag films for heat and moisture retention and can reduce your titanium dioxide in your masterbatch up to 25%.
New low-warpage, FDA organic pigments for the packaging in the plastics industry
Low plate-out formaldehyde free fluorescent pigments now available
Polyvest MA75
Functionalized liquid butadiene and maleic anhydride ideal for chalk filled EPDM rubbers, increase modulus with increased adhesion, scorch times, tensile strength and lowers viscosity(elongation at break) and vulcanization times.
