Standard polyolefins for masterbatches and rotomoulding

Ambra guarantees a broad range of the main polyolefins which are used as carriers for the production of powders for masterbatches & rotomoulding applications.

Arkema Evatane® high-content EVA and Lotryl® EMA and EBA granules are widely used in the production of powders for masterbatches.

Basic polyolefins (PE, PP, PS, EVA, EMA, EEA, EBA) with spot low prices, slow movings, off-specs, are available at Speedy Polymers.

Tip

Your competitors are killing your market with incredibly low prices?

For several applications, where price is THE crucial factor, batches with wider specifications may be the right Solution. Speedy Polymers availability lists will help you surviving the fierce competition.

Reactive and functional polyolefins

Arkema Lotader® and Orevac® reactive polyolefins are used for the production of reactive powders for pipe coatings and paint coating.

Wider specs versions are available at Speedy Polymers.

Case Study

Reactive powder coating for universal adhesion

Opportunity: A very large producer of powders for coating applications needed a versatile and reactive polymer for paint coating on different surfaces.

Polymer resins for carpet backing and dot coating

Arkema Evatane® EVA with very high-content of vinylacetate comonomer – up to 42%VA – are widely used in the production of hot-melt powders for dot gluing, carpet backing and textile laminations in general.

Beside Evatane®, Arkema also manufactures thermoadhesive copolyamide Platamid® granules for the production of dot coating powders for clothing and footwear. Platamid® are always partially from biosource (castor seeds). Grades for universal adhesion and increased biosource content are also available.

Sipol Technipol® 70 (polybutylenesebacate) can be micronized for powder-scattering application followed by very easy IR reactivation, thanks to very low reactivation temperature. Technipol® 70 is fully biodegradable and it contains 60% of raw materials coming from renewable resources - the content can be increased to 100% by using bio-1,4-butanediol (bioBDO).

Case Study

Save money on EVA high-content

Opportunity: Customer desperately needed lower prices for the production of his high-content VA powders, but could not accept a decrease in performance.

Special resins

Several other special polymer resins are available in the Ambra solutions basket, including:

-Lotte Starex® ABS, MABS and Infino® PC;

-Kureha KF Polymer® PVDF (Polyvinylidenefluoride);

-long chain polyamides Nexis Fibers PA6.10 and 6.12;

-Sipol Sipolprene® block polyester-polyether (TPC-ET) thermoplastic elastomers

Biodegradable polymers

Various biodegradable polymers are available for the production of biodegradable powders for masterbatches, dot coating and 3D printing.

With its 20,000 Ton/year capacity, Jinhui ZhaoLong is the 2nd largest worldwide producer of PBAT (polybutyrate-adipate-terephthalate) virgin resin. Ecoworld® PBAT is the main masterbatch carrier for the film extrusion of compostable bags and flexible packaging.

The new Sipol Technipol® range of biopolymers PolyButylene Adipate Terephthalate (PBAT), PolyButylene Sebacate and Polybutylene Succinate (PBS) find applications in the production of masterbatches for compostable compounds for injection moulding and extrusion.

As previously mentioned, Polybutylenesebacate Technipol® 70 contains 60% of raw materials coming from renewable resources, and the content can be increased to 100% by using bio-1,4-butanediol (bioBDO).
