Ultra Purge assists the cleaning process. Significantly reducing machine downtime. As well as preserving your equipment from steel oxidation by forming a protective anti-adherent layer that will make the cleaning process faster and easier. Put it to the test, www.plastichem.co.za
With Durethan® and Pocan® XF, flow properties are up to 80% better than conventional grades. This means flow paths become longer than ever imagined, while the product properties remain virtually unchanged. For you as an injection moulder, this has a number of major advantages: a larger processing window in terms of temperature and mould filling pressure, shorter cycle times, higher part quality and simpler mould construction for new developments. All of which can help you cut costs significantly. Yet another costsaving ability is thin-wall applications - giving you a reach that stretches far beyond other materials.
Our Mission: Plastichem strives to comprehensively link the customer + producer by focusing on the details of sales, supply chain management and individual account management. We are responsible equally to our customers and principals and are commissioned to act in the best interest of both parties. We mediate discrepancies, present solutions and monitor our markets with the view to ongoing needs analysis.
What makes the difference at Plastichem is not just about a century's worth of experience in the production of synthetic rubber. Its about having partners that commit irrevocably to your business that makes all the difference. Call me, Ramon Scheepbouwer on 082 892 4725 Winning your confidence, winning your patronage, and keeping it professional.
It’s amazing how much we’ve grown in ten years. Looking at the road ahead, we know we’ve still got a long way to go. Which is why we never stop trying to become better at what we do.

Eastar Tritan™ reshapes your expectation from polymers. The unique properties of Tritan deliver performance that is often superior to other clear thermoplastics. Areas of potenial advantage include ease of processing, lower levels of residual stress, high heat and impact resistance as well as clarity, toughness and chemical resistance of the finished products.

Conventional packaging materials will provide either the beautifully transparent plastic or the flexibility to be moulded into a handle. They won't do both. Producers are faced with either hiding the healthy luster of fresh juice within dull, opaque containers, or marketing difficult-to-carry, clear containers. Fortunately, a solution presented itself in the shape of Eastar™, It has both the superb clarity and extremely high melt strength, making it an excellent choice when manufacturing this type of extrusion blow moulded bottle.

Albis Plastic presents NEW TPVs. Requirements for TPVs today are becoming increasingly complex and challenging. New raw materials, production technologies and modern compact designs place greater demands on temperature resistance, media resistance and flow capability. Alfater® XL High Flow fills this gap and can be used for components with long flow paths, thin walls and intricate geometries. The processing of Alfater® XL High Flow is easy, and slower injection speeds and pressures can be used. This is an interesting characteristic as often the injection point cannot be selected to optimally suit the material when it comes to the production of complex parts. The result is a “clean” component at the gating area.
