Kisuma upgrades recycled plastics with magnesium-based additives

Kisuma Chemicals offers a range of additives and synergistic additive blends based on magnesium to upgrade the performance and consistency of recycled plastics. Significant benefits include odor scavenging and reduction, melt flow index retention, color and yellowing index retention and gel reduction.

Kisuma Chemicals offers a unique suite of magnesium-based additive solutions engineered to enhance the performance, efficiency and sustainability of recycled plastics.

“Beyond a diversified suite of magnesium-based additives already available for this market, we are actively developing the next generation of these unique products, including tailormade solutions with functionalities engineered to boost the performance, efficiency and sustainability of recycled plastics or retain virgin-like properties,” says Zachary Hoffman, Business Development Lead Europe, Middle East & Africa for Kisuma.

Kisuma’s magnesium-based additives for recycled plastics are focused on aligning with the European Union’s ambitious directives for increasing the recycled content in many industries, such as packaging (PPWR), automotive (ELV), and building & construction.

These solutions can provide further value to customers seeking to minimize their product carbon footprint and eliminate the use of additives at risk of becoming regulated out of the market on a more global basis.

“By enhancing color, reducing odor, improving melt flow and minimizing gels, we can achieve consistent, high-quality outcomes together and accelerate the shift towards a more sustainable plastics value chain,” adds Zachary Hoffman.
