Tailored Products for High-Temperature Polymers
Manufacturers are increasingly turning to high-temperature polymers as an alternative to metals and thermoset materials, benefiting from easier processing, reduced weight, and lower overall costs. Sukano's compounds support this material transition while maintaining the mechanical performance required for demanding applications. In addition, they enhance product aesthetics through precise, consistent coloration and excellent color stability, even under extreme processing and end-use conditions.
By combining compounding expertise, customized color development, and advanced additive technologies, Sukano helps customers unlock the full potential of high-temperature polymers such as PSU, PESU, PPSU, and PEEK.
Closing the Loop with High-Performance rCompounds
Combining sustainability with high performance, Sukano’s, recycled PET-glass fiber compounds offer an attractive alternative to virgin engineering resins. Their maximized post-consumer recycled (PCR) content supports circularity and helps reduce carbon footprint of the final application, while consistent mechanical properties ensure reliable performance in demanding end uses.
With excellent stiffness and strong resistance to deformation under high loads and temperatures, these materials are well suited for challenging applications. Depending on specific requirements, manufacturers can also benefit from improved processability, enhanced toughness, and potential energy savings during production, enabling sustainability goals to be achieved without compromising performance.
Advancing Circularity with In-House Recycling Expertise
Learn more about Sukano's in-house recycling laboratory, where the key stages of the mechanical rPET recycling process are replicated under real-world conditions. Before introducing new products to the market, Sukano evaluates the performance of its masterbatches on existing PET recycling streams using advanced analytical and processing equipment. This approach ensures alignment with industry standards and provides deeper insights into recyclability performance. By simulating the critical stages of the mechanical recycling process, influenced by the use of our masterbatches, Sukano creates a direct link between product development and measurable performance outcomes, helping customers develop products that support circularity, minimizing or eliminating visuals or mechanical properties concerns.
Adaptive Compounding: Unlocking the Potential of Recycled Engineering Resins
Gain valuable insights into the opportunities presented by post-consumer recycled (PCR) and post-industrial recycled (PIR) materials and learn how to overcome common challenges to unlock the full potential of recycled engineering plastics. Through adaptive compounding, Sukano enables the use of mechanically recycled engineering resins while maintaining consistent quality and performance.
By adjusting formulations to accommodate variations in PCR and PIR feedstocks, manufacturers can reduce their products carbon footprint up to 80% in comparison to its virgin plastics products alternative without compromising functionality, processing efficiency, or end-use properties.
