Supporting the value chain with dedicated services

Along the value chain, plasticizers undergo a variety of processing steps before an end-product is finalized. The processing steps can be done with two different technologies: thermoplastic compounding and plastisol processing. This can pose specific questions. 

If you are looking for support, our technical service offering is right for you!

  • Do you need a specific analysis of an end-product or intermediate ?
