For every need, its material.
We offer a wide range of plastic materials and benefit from a global distribution network covering four continents. By collaborating with numerous producers worldwide, we are committed to delivering superior products, demonstrating our dedication to the success of our clients.
STYRENICS
Styrenics, derived from styrene, an aromatic organic compound, are polymers known for their transparency, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. Their versatility is reflected in their wide range of applications, from food packaging to electronic products, toys, construction materials, and many other industrial and consumer goods.
PVC
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic polymer available in both rigid and flexible forms. To be used, PVC resin must be mixed with additives by compounders. These mixtures result in PVC compounds (either flexible or rigid, with various properties), typically provided in powder or granule form after processing.
POLYETHYLENE (PE)
Polyethylene, discovered by Hans Von Pechmann in 1898, has taken a leading role in the plastics industry. Its formula was fully mastered and industrialized from 1939, favoring its widespread use.
Polymer Africa, a specialist in the distribution of HDPE and LDPE, highly recommends this material for its ease of handling, resistance to chemicals, UV and impact, thus reinforcing its reliability in various applications.
PET
Since its creation, Polymer Africa has been a leading supplier of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) for industries in France and internationally.
MASTERBATCHES
Masterbatches are used to modify or enhance the chemical or physical properties of thermoplastic materials. For example, they can provide protection against static electricity, heat, or light.
POLYMERES TECHNIQUES
Plastic compounding is a technique that involves merging a polymer with an additive, resulting in a variety of plastic materials known as special compounds. These compounds can be found in solid, liquid, powder, pellet, or granule form.
POLYPROPYLENE
Polypropylene, a highly uniform thermoplastic polymer, was discovered through advancements made in the polyethylene manufacturing process. In 1953, Karl Ziegler and, in 1954, Giulio Natta developed the method for producing polypropylene.
How Do We Proceed?
Identify Your Needs
Determine the specific requirements of your application, including physical, mechanical, and chemical properties.
Understand the Material Options
Explore available materials, such as thermoplastics, elastomers, or additives, and assess their suitability for your needs.
Evaluate Performance Criteria
Consider factors like durability, temperature resistance, flexibility, and environmental impact to ensure the material meets performance expectations.
Consult Experts
Work with material suppliers or technical experts to gain insights and recommendations tailored to your application.
Test the Material
Conduct trials or prototypes to validate the material’s compatibility and performance in real-world conditions.
Optimize Cost-Effectiveness
Balance quality, performance, and price to choose a solution that aligns with both technical requirements and budget constraints.
