Color and Appearance in Building and Construction

We offer a customizable color portfolio to enhance aesthetics in high-demand outdoor applications. Our masterbatches enable diverse visual effects, including frosted look compounds for sheets and profiles to replace etched glass, and Light Diffusors that efficiently scatter transmitted light to hide LED spots in lighting applications or to obscure views through applications for privacy such as in sheets for shower panels. 

Physical Property Modifiers for Building and Construction

Unlock the potential of your material for high-performance applications. Our Foaming Agents reduce material density, leading to lower weight and material usage. They could enable thermal insulation properties allowing your materials to be used for building insulation applications. Additionally, our masterbatches minimize sink marks during injection molding of the final article.

End Application Modifier in Building and Construction

We help your application to thrive in Building and Construction. Our Antistatic masterbatches prevent static charge build-up, protecting electronic components while Flame Retardants delay ignition and limit flame spread in high-demand electrical and electronic applications. Additionally, we offer IR Absorbers for solar heat management in PC sheets and UV stabilizers to protect outdoor applications from light, preventing microcracks and color fading.
