Plastic additive (Poly Olefin / Petro Chemical)

Applications of Polyolefin in the Petrochemical Industry

Polyolefins such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are widely used in various industries including packaging, automotive, construction, and consumer goods due to their excellent chemical resistance, flexibility, and processability. In addition to their inherent properties, various additives are used to enhance the performance of polyolefins depending on specific application needs.

Specific acid-binding agents are used in petrochemical synthesis. We offer Magnesium-Aluminium-Oxide complex (Hydrotalcite) for use as acid scavenger in Petrochemical synthesis. For alternative plastic degradation we offer Cerium Stearate, Manganese Stearate additive for specialty use.

Role of Plastic Additives in Polyolefins

To further optimize the properties of polyolefin materials, plastic additives are incorporated during the manufacturing process. These additives enhance functionality and durability, allowing polyolefins to meet stringent industrial requirements.

Key types of plastic additives include

• Antioxidants – Prevent thermal degradation during processing and usage.
• UV Stabilizers – Shield materials from ultraviolet radiation in outdoor applications.
• Antistatic Agents – Minimize surface charge buildup in electronic and industrial packaging.
• Flame Retardants – Improve fire resistance, particularly for construction-grade polymers.
• Processing Aids – Enhance melt flow and reduce die build-up.
• Biodegradable Additives – Support eco-friendly disposal by promoting polymer degradation.

These additives significantly expand the usability of polyolefins in high performance and sustainable applications.
