Interchem is a licensed supplier of MMA.

06

Polymer feedstock

High-density polyethylene, PVC and EVA copolymers in extrusion and injection grades. We match the grade to the process and to the requirements of the finished part.

A linear polymer with a high strength-to-density ratio, excellent moisture resistance and toughness. Suited to rigid applications.

GradeApplications
ExtrusionPipes, geomembranes, fuel tanks, blow-moulded drums
InjectionCrates, pallets, household goods, food packaging

An amorphous thermoplastic customisable from rigid to flexible, inherently flame-retardant and cost-effective. European-brand PVC is available.

GradeApplications
ExtrusionWindow profiles, pipes, fencing, medical tubing
InjectionPlumbing fittings, electrical housings, footwear components

European-brand polymers: ExxonMobil, Chevron, Phillips, Versalis and other western producers. Used in films, hot-melt adhesives, foams and bitumen modification.

07

Processing additives

The components that govern how the polymer behaves in processing and how long the finished part lasts.

Additives that increase polymer flexibility, durability and processability by reducing intermolecular forces. Most commonly used with PVC to lower the glass transition temperature.

GradeApplications
ExtrusionFlexible films, cables and wires, flooring, synthetic leather
InjectionSoft-touch grips, medical tubing, seals, automotive interiors

A flame-retardant synergist: paired with halogenated systems it markedly improves the fire performance of plastics, cable compounds and textile coatings.
