Additives : they aim to improve rheological and use properties, as well as stability in the plastics’ environnement. They have antistatic, lubricant, stabilizing functions, etc. The additive compounds formulation has become a unique savoir-faire which enriches the available range of plastics and maximizes their costs.

Anti-shrinkage agent : limits the cracking risk.
