WTH Experts at the “Fakuma”: “We have your filler…”
(mud/JBÖ-DHO) – The WTH trade show experts have carefully packed their bags for “Fakuma”: from October 15 to 19, they will be in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance to surprise their conversation partners in Hall B4 (booth 4505) with a comprehensive portfolio of additives and fillers for the plastics and rubber industries. No questions should be left unanswered.
Metal Deactivators – Uses and Mechanisms
Metals are essential components in many plastics, often employed as catalysts in their production and processing. However, metals like copper, iron, or nickel can also induce undesired side reactions during plastic processing, thereby compromising the quality of the end product. Consequently, metal deactivators are frequently employed in various plastics to prevent or minimize the undesirable effects of metals.
“Exploded Pharmacies…”
(mud) – What does WTH GmbH have to do with a recent report from the Federal Statistical Office stating that German exports of plastic waste have nearly halved in the past ten years? “A great deal,” assures WTH Managing Director Gero Thieme. “We have played a significant role in this achievement!” This is thanks to the “good conscience of forward-looking plastic waste prevention” – economic chemist Cutian Wolf-Jusuf. The WTH expert ensures, with extensive commitment and high competence, that WTH customers equip their products during plastic production in such a way that it ultimately contributes to waste reduction.
Crosslinked CPE (CM)
Crosslinked CPE
Crosslinked chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) is produced by crosslinking chlorinated polyethylene, a thermoplastic material formed by chlorinating low-density polyethylene (HDPE). The crosslinking of CPE can be achieved through chemical or radiation-induced processes.
The Antimony Record Price!
(mud) – Where trading is taking place, price increases are the order of the day in these times. Even the quotations for the most important flame retardants for plastics are currently “through the roof”.
CPE in PVC
Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) in PVC
Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) is an important additive for the production of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). It is used as an impact modifier and can improve the mechanical properties of the end product. Here, we will examine the properties of CPE as an impact modifier in PVC, its advantages, and limitations.
Combination of Primary and Secondary Antioxidants
Combination of Primary and Secondary Antioxidants
Plastics and elastomers play a crucial role in various industries, including automotive, electronics, construction, and packaging. However, a significant drawback of these materials is their susceptibility to degradation through various forms of oxidation, leading to a deterioration of their mechanical properties. To minimize this drawback, a combination of primary, secondary, and antioxidants is often used.
What “Quality Management” Means For WTH And Who Benefits From It?
In the chemical industry, quality and environmental management play a crucial role in acting environmentally consciously while meeting customer requirements. The established instruments for this are the standards DIN EN ISO 9001 for quality management and DIN EN ISO 14001 for environmental management. Especially for WTH GmbH, which deals with chemical raw materials, these standards are essential to ensure efficient and sustainable operations.
