Additives Selection

Different polymer properties require different additivation package. Sakema helps the PP and PE producers select the right additive package for their grades to cater for the market needs and develop a highly competitive product.

Along with our technical knowledge, we provide additive performance and evaluation services for clients willing to develop specific grades with specific properties. We also partner with reputable application labs and institutes to provide accredited services to our customers.

Our experience in additives includes - but not limited to- the common stabilization package prescribed by technology licensors in addition to specialty additives that help provide specific polymer properties while targeting specific high-end and challenging applications. These comprise Anti-oxidants, Acid scavengers such a Calcium or Zinc stearates or Magnesium hydrotalcite, Slip agents, Nucleating or clarifying agents and many more.

Our role is not restricted to prescribing the right additives for Polypropylene and Polyethylene but also advising on:

• Analytical and application labs to evaluate the additives’ performance in their specific resin design

• Help drafting contracts or negotiate deals with additive suppliers

• Ensure a proper supply chain

• Provide a 360-degree supplier evaluation in terms of regulation, due diligence, product stewardship, ethics and other requirements
