At K 2016, UK-based Croda Europe Ltd (Hall 7, booth C22) will be offering live demonstrations of their new, tested and proven range of anti-scratch additives. Launched to meet the demand for improved quality of plastic parts in high-end automotive and packaging applications, these additives reduce scratch width, depth and visibility. These additives incorporate high stability products that work from within the formulation to enhance the surface properties of plastic parts produced using these additives, such as low visible bloom, low odor and maintained gloss.
The new additives are designed to withstand challenging processing conditions and give long term in-use performance in the finished products. Moreover, due to their low loading levels they have no detrimental effect on the mechanical properties of the plastic in question.
