This latest addition to the Additives for Recycling (A4R) portfolio of solutions helps bring incompatible polymers, such as PP and PE, together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification and will be exhibited at the upcoming Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing. With more post-consumer recycled materials (PCR) entering the value chain, brand owners, recyclers, and converters are faced with new and increasing challenges related to recycling. When added to the recycled mixed polymers, Cesa Unify A4R addresses the common material degradation that occurs during the recycling process.
