Our Plastics Technology Center in Essen, Germany

Evonik's global Plastics Technical Service Center  in Essen, Germany supports customers from the masterbatch, compounding and converter industry in the development of new recepies for thermoplastic, thermoset and elastomer applications.

Extrusion, thermoplastic and silicone rubber molding,  blown and cast film lines are just some examples of what is available to illustrate the additive performance.

We evaluate the performance of our polymer additives by several test methods which we have available in our lab. For example, mechanical properties of compounds as well as their surface properties are investigated. Furthermore, the quality of pigment dispersions of color masterbatches is analyzed.

For the preparation of masterbatches & compounds in our Plastics Technology Center we run a three-roll mill as well as two double screw extruders. Test specimen, e.g. grained plates or melt flow spirals, are prepared using our molding machines.
