Swiss additive expert Sukano will present its expanded Sukano masterbatch and service portfolio at the upcoming Techtextil trade fair that takes place from 4-7 May in Frankfurt.

The company will be presenting innovative masterbatch solutions for antimicrobial fibre applications, UV stabilization of polyester fibres, and processing aid for PLA nonwovens.

Functionality and performance

Textiles depend on the functionality of their fibres. Therefore, custom engineering functionality, performance and processing aid right into the fibres can enable significant cost savings for fibre producers and fabric manufacturers alike, the manufacturer reports.

When the desired properties are integrated into the fibre, subsequent processing and finishing steps can be eliminated, according to the company, enabling production become faster with less rejects. Durability and usability of the final product can this way be extended.

Masterbatches and additives

“We have a long track record in producing dedicated masterbatches and additives for all kinds of plastics applications. Our special strength is in individually engineered solutions for functional and optical challenges,” explained Michael de Braaf, CEO of Sukano AG.

“With our expertise we can incorporate significant benefits into fibres. We invite fibre manufacturers and technical textile fabric producers to bring their challenges to us. At our Techtextil booth our experts will be happy to discuss innovative solutions with them. Based on our long masterbatch track record we are in a strong position to offer our customers innovative products in proven Swiss quality combined with outstanding technical support and service.”

On display

On show will be Sukano’s product range for textiles, with a special focus on masterbatches for antimicrobials, UV stability, and processing aid for PET, PA, PP and PLA for fibres and nonwoven applications.

 Sukano experts will be available at the show to discuss customers’ individual application needs and find additive solutions to improve performance and durability of their products. The company is an expert in the development and production of functional and optical masterbatches, special compounds and blends for improving the properties of bio and oil based plastics for the plastics manufacturing industry.

All Sukano masterbatches and compounds are made from pure materials. Masterbatches can be produced to match the polymer material the customer uses. This is said to ensure excellent product compatibility, speed up production and optimize the product’s optical and functional properties in the end application – thus saving time and costs.
