Customer Problem

The customer was having processing issues with their current additive masterbatch for flame retardancy. They were having consistent spin breaks with it and wanted a solution from someone who offered competitive pricing and was capable of producing an environmentally friendly flame retardant masterbatch. They also wanted to keep their resin the same and not have any other alterations to their manufacturing process.

Americhem Solution

Americhem accommodated their needs by developing a masterbatch that would pair well with their current resin as well as solve the spin break issue and still be an environmentally friendly flame retardant masterbatch.

"While standard PET fibers meet the basic flammability requirements, we need to meet more difficult standards. Americhem was able to help us find the right additives to be able to meet the exacting standards for use in the engine compartment."
