About ElbChem
ElbChem is a Hamburg-based company founded by experienced plastics experts that offers functional polymers and additives for the plastics industry. The portfolio includes maleic-anhydride-grafted PP and PE adhesion promoters (as ready-to-use types and concentrates), GMA polymers (E-GMA as well as E-GMA-VA and E-GMA-MA terpolymers), the ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymer EMMA, Easy-Peel lidding sealant media, and additives such as antioxidants, halogen-free flame retardants, UV stabilisers, hydrolysis protection and recycling boosters. The products improve adhesion, processability, filler uptake and impact strength in polymers and can be processed similarly to polyethylene on extrusion, injection moulding, cast and blown film lines. Fields of application include packaging, compounds, automotive, adhesives, medical technology, recycling, construction, filaments, sports as well as electrical and electronics. In addition, ElbChem offers Development & Compounding for customised compounds and polymer modifications as well as consulting on product selection.
