Amide clarifier additive chemistry: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Residual pigments and structural impurities in post-consumer polyolefins degrade optical clarity and mechanical value. These innovations utilize specific nucleating agents to restore polymer transparency and fiber integrity during melt processing.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Amide clarifier additive chemistry?

Material recovery from bonded solids

(37)evidences

Linear consumption of polyurethanes and polyamides leads to non-degradable material buildup. Establishing circularity converts solid waste into high-value chemical feedstocks.

Polymer waste stream contamination

(10)evidences

Thermal inefficiencies during the hydrolytic breakdown of polyamides lead to excessive energy requirements. Reducing heat loss and optimizing thermal recovery lowers operational costs and environmental impact.
