Rejuvenating recycled plastics with IrgaCycle® additive solutions

Virgin plastic polymers are designed only for production and usage only. To prevent problems when mechanically recycling plastics it is therefore advisable to use tailored additives solutions to tackle impurities, gel formation, mechanical problems and melt-flow fluctuations. IrgaCycle® additive solutions are specifically tailored for these challenges

Our additive solutions allow
  • Brand owners to achieve their circular economy and sustainability targets
  • Plastic converters to incorporate more recycled content
  • Mechanical recyclers to improve recyclate quality and processability
