Commodities

Commodities are widely used polymers, which find application in the most diverse sectors: packaging, cosmetics, medical packaging, construction, consumer goods, automotive, electrical and industrial.

Commodities: Testo

PP Homopolymer

It is a thermoplastic polymer obtained by polymerization of propylene with Ziegler-Natta catalysts. It is characterized by good rigidity and heat resistance

PP Copolymer Blocks

It is a thermoplastic polymer produced by the polymerization of propylene and ethylene with Ziegler Natta catalysis. The material consists of an amorphous heterophasic structure, dispersed within a semi-crystalline homopolymer PP matrix. It is characterized by excellent impact resistance even at low temperatures.

PP Random Copolymer

It is a thermoplastic polymer obtained by polymerization of propylene, with ethylene or butene as comonomer, it is characterized by a high aesthetic quality (transparency and gloss) and by good impact resistance.

Polybutene-1

Polybutene-1 (PB-1) is a semicrystalline thermoplastic polyolefin obtained from the polymerization of Butene-1. Propylene and ethylene can be incorporated as co-monomers. PB-1 is completely miscible with PP and has low compatibility, but good dispersibility, with PE. Thanks to this feature, it is widely used in Easy Peel applications.

Catalloy

Thanks to the proprietary Catalloy technology, we are able to produce a range of thermoplastic elastomers of a polyolefin nature, with unique properties.

LD PE

Low density polyethylene (LD PE), is a semi-crystalline polymer obtained through a high pressure tubular process, is characterized by branched polymer chains and a density between 0.900 - 0.930 g / cm3

MD PE

Medium density polyethylene (MD PE) has intermediate characteristics between LDPE and HDPE thanks to its structure obtained through a low pressure polymerization process. Its density is between 0.930 - 0.940 g / cm3

HDPE

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is produced by a low pressure ethylene polymerization process in gas phase or slurry reactors, with the aid of catalysts. The material is characterized by linear polymer chains with monomode and multimode molecular weight distribution and may contain small amounts of comonomer (butene and hexene).
It is more resistant and stiffer than LDPE due to its higher density, between 0.940 - 0.960 g / cm3

LLD PE

Linear low density polyethylene (LLD PE) is produced by adding C6 hexene as a comonomer and is characterized by a density between 0.918 - 0.925 g / cm3

Medical PP

These resins guarantee an excellent aesthetic appearance (transparency and gloss), excellent organoleptic properties, inertness towards many chemical compounds and a wide range of mechanical properties. Polypropylene grades (homopolymer, heterophasic copolymer, random copolymer), Polyethylene (low and high density) and Polybutene-1 are available.

PE Medical

These resins guarantee an excellent aesthetic appearance (transparency and gloss), excellent organoleptic properties, inertness towards many chemical compounds and a wide range of mechanical properties. Polypropylene grades (homopolymer, heterophasic copolymer, random copolymer), Polyethylene (low and high density) and Polybutene-1 are available.

PS GP

Crystal polystyrene is an amorphous thermoplastic polymer obtained by polymerization of styrene. It is a totally transparent material with good rigidity, but very brittle.

PS HI

Shockproof polystyrene is an amorphous thermoplastic polymer obtained by polymerization of styrene with the addition of a rubbery phase. The latter guarantees good impact resistance and ductility but involves the loss of transparency
