All consumer goods, most of the product are made from plastics, these are made from the essential polymer mixed with a complex blend of materials known collectively as additives. Plastic additives are the components added to plastic/polymer to modify, and enhance its physical, chemical properties such as their strength, durability, and heat sensitivity. Without additives, plastics would not work, but with them they can be made safer, cleaner, tougher and more colorful.
There are wide range of additive’s which are playing key role making useful plastics including, anti-counterfeiting, antimicrobials / biostabilisers, antioxidants, antistatic agents, biodegradable plasticisers, blowing agents, fillers, heat stabilisers, impact modifiers, etc.
Plastic additives have found widespread applications in construction, packaging, automotive, consumer goods, and other applications such as pharmaceutical, furniture, sports, and agriculture.
