Masterbatch additives for plastics

Because the intended uses and needs are so numerous and also very different from each other, our range of additive masterbatches is particularly extensive and is specially developed to help you meet any challenge you may encounter. Our proposals, the result of a perfect mix of technical knowledge and constant attention to the requests of our customers, include:

• Nucleating agents: if you are wondering how best to manage plastic deformation, the answer is in masterbatches with specific nucleating agents, real stabilizers capable of controlling the shrinkage and distortion of plastic during the delicate cooling phase. Thanks to these agents, offered in our Shelligent Line, you can keep the shape of your products intact and avoid those unpleasant aesthetic imperfections that can compromise the final result;
• Anti-UV: Plastic products are increasingly exposed to damage caused by solar radiation and UV rays, thermal deformation and even yellowing. Here is our Raytek Line includes masterbatches specially formulated to act as an invisible protective shield, capable of preserving the integrity and appearance of your artifacts exposed outdoors over time;
• Antioxidants/Thermal Stabilizers: both during processing and over time, polymers can undergo yellowing and degradation processes which, unfortunately, compromise their appearance and performance. Fortunately, our masterbatches with antioxidant agents and heat stabilizers counteract and slow down the aging of the polymer (while keeping its properties intact) and, consequently, guarantee a long life to your products;
• Antistatic: dust can be a bitter enemy of both aesthetics and functionality of numerous plastic products, especially if used in sectors such as packaging, cosmetics and construction. Thanks to our antistatic masterbatches you can create a thin invisible barrier that prevents the accumulation of electrostatic charges, repels dust and keeps your products constantly clean and efficient;
• Antibacterial: in some sectors, such as medical and food, hygiene is a fundamental requirement. That’s why we have also thought of antibacterial masterbatches, which can offer extra protection from the proliferation of microbes and bacteria on surfaces, with the aim of offering a safer and more protected environment to the end consumer;
• Flame retardants: If you are dealing with applications that require high fire safety standards, such as the marine, cruise and construction sectors, then our flame retardant masterbatches are a valid answer to the needs of these sectors. If integrated into plastic, in fact, they can slow down or completely prevent the spread of flames in the event of a fire, thus helping to increase the level of protection and safety;
• Lubricants and Antiblocking: for those who don’t know, blocking is an inconvenience characterized by unwanted adhesion between the surfaces of plastic films. To avoid this, we offer our masterbatches with lubricating agents and antiblocking, additives specially designed to reduce friction and facilitate the sliding of materials. The result? Improved production efficiency and higher quality of the finished product;
• Blowing Agents: if you want to reduce the weight of your products, or obtain particular aesthetic effects, know that our masterbatches with blowing agents can open the doors to infinite possibilities as creative as they are functional, offering original and super customized solutions;
• Anti-fog/Anti-dew: those who work in the agricultural filmmaking sector, food packaging, body shops or greenhouses, know perfectly well that the formation of condensation can seriously compromise the transparency and functionality of a plastic product. By using our anti-fog masterbatches, it is finally possible to prevent the annoying formation of dew, with the aim of ensuring excellent visibility and, of course, excellent quality of your products.

But there’s more, because we at Gaypa also provide the One Pack Line: with a single super-concentrated granule, you will have everything you need to color your products and improve their technical performance. It is an “all-in-one” solution in which the additives work in perfect synergy with the dyes to give you the best possible result without having to weigh and dose each individual component separately. Not only that, because in line with our tailor-made approach, you can get different variants of the same color with different additive packages, enjoying unprecedented flexibility !
