Abstract:
Plastics are under pressure for waste disposal and littering. They are a raw material source if the polymers can be reused in other or the same applications. Often the aging by weathering and sunlight does not allow the re-use in performance uses. Therefore Grolman offers a range of additives that enhance the properties of re-cycled plastics to enable the user to produce new performance compounds in the area of Polyolefines as well as technical polymers.
