Vistamaxx applications:

Masterbatch Carrier

A Unique way to create value in masterbatches.

Key benefits of Vistamaxx™ polymers:

  • Fully compatible with polyethylene and polypropylene
  • Better wetting and dispersion
  • Lower processing temperature
  • Higher thermal and color stability

Solutions for the value chain:

  • Masterbatchproducers
  • Converters
  • Brand Owners

Versatile technical solutions:

  • Sole carrier resin
  • Blend partner with polyolefin carrier resin
  • Replacement of polyolefin wax
  • Blend partner with polyolefin wax

Recommended grades:

Vistamaxx™ performance polymers work as carrier, blend partner and/or wax replacement for the production of masterbatch. The unique behavior of Vistamaxx™ performance polymers reduces the formation of agglomerates during the compounding process improving the dispersion of the active ingredient in the masterbatch,resultingin a more efficient way of using additives, pigments, fillers, etc.
