OBC is based on thermoplastic olefine compounds in the form of blockcopolyms, which, unlike SEBS and SBS, are based on a “styrene-free” chemical structure that offers excellent resistance to UV and aging. They are remarkably versatile in terms of hardness area and manufacturing techniques. This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications.
OBC will be a valid alternative to conventional TSPs in applications that do not require specific physical-mechanical properties produced for markets such as hygiene, household goods, toys, sports footwear, furniture and automotive industry.
• Wide hardness scale from 20 ShA – 60 ShD
• UV stable, ozone resistant and has a high degree of weather resistance
• Chemically resistant to acid, bases, solvents and aqueous solutions
• Approved for food contact (10/2011/EU, FDA)

SEBS is a control-based thermoplastic elastomer composed of styree, ethylene and butadiene, making it a blockcopolymer with a relatively wide hardness window. For different compositions, SEBS can appear as a highly flexible elastomer for a more rigid elastomer, which generally has many applications.
SEBS can be processed by a number of conventional processes, such as:
• Injection moulding
• Extrusion
• Thermoforming
• Rotational casting
• Good cold and heat elasticity
• UV and age resistance
• Hardness window at 5 ShA – 60 ShD
• A large process window

Like SEBS, SBS is a control-based thermoplastic elastomer, where the composition of styren and butadiene contributes soft elastic segments as well as hard rigid segments in the chemical structure. The fraction of the segments thus determines the hardness and stiffness of the finished workpiece, whereby an ideal combination of elasticity and hardness at the same time as an appearance and a feeling like rubber is achievable.
SBS can be processed by a number of conventional processes, such as:
• Injection moulding
• Extrusion
• Thermoforming
• Rotational casting
• Hardness window on 20 ShA – 50 ShD
• Reduced chemical resistance compared to SEBS
• Limited possibility of dyeing as SBS has a self-coloured colour

TPU is a very versatile technical thermoplastic that can be adapted to the individual customer’s needs. The thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is very versatile with excellent mechanical properties, high elasticity and superior resistance to low temperatures. They are very durable and suitable for applications where a high resistance to wear (abrasion), oils and fat is necessary and can be adapted to specific application requirements.
TPU’s versatility makes it ideal for multiple applications. In athletic footwear, TPU is used to make high-quality shoe soles, ski boots, skates and football shoes. Technical applications include gaskets, wear-resistant pipes and cables, transmission belts and aiming for abrasive products. In automotive and technical applications, TPU designers give more freedom to create aesthetically pleasing, durable parts such as trim pieces, tactile surfaces, seals or door handles.
The use of TPU via a injection moulding process is typically challenging as it places demands on the forming tools used. Units of TPU are typically difficult to deform in conventional tools, so please ask for recommendations when commissioning or designing new tools using TPU.
• Hardness from 40 ShD to 72 ShD at the rigid types
• Hardness from 40 ShA to 90 ShA at the soft types
• High abrasion resistance
• Good chemical resistance to acid and bases
• Good adhesion to other polymers by co-injection or co-extrusion

TPV consists of TPE with dynamically vulcanized thermoplastic elastomers, where the elastomer consists of cross-bound EPDM rubber scattered in a polyolefin thermoplastic matrix. Compared to previous versions of TPV, today the material has improved tensile strength, increased stretching and tear resistance and is available in a wider range of hardnesses.
TPV is suitable for pawning with other materials by both co-injection and co-extrusion with polyole veneer as well as similar materials groups. TPV products are typically found in areas such as agriculture, automotive, construction and construction, fashion and footwear, medical, sports equipment and packaging due to the material’s resistance to scratches as well as various solvents.
• Hardness scale from 30 ShA to 60 ShD
• Scope from -40°C to 130°C depending on compound

An optimal raw material is the foundation for a plastic product with strong properties and the prerequisite for an efficient development process and a competitive production economy.
Choosing the right plastic type and mastarbach is therefore an important but also a complex decision-making process, because there are so many factors that come into play.
When you add the environmental selection criteria to this, qualified plastic technical advice is essential for the functionality of your product, your brand’s reputation and your financial benefits.
It is our most important task to optimise all three things.

Til gruppen af Basisplast regner man typisk Polyethylen (PE), Polypropylen (PP) og Polystyren (PS).
Disse 3 polymerer står for ca. 50% af verdens plastforbrug, og anvendes i alt fra folier, emballager, møbler, legetøj, drikkedunke, ølkasser, medicinsk udstyr, slanger, rør, isolation mm.
Basispolymererne (især PP) kan desuden tilsættes en lang række additiver for at tilføre specielle egenskaber. Det kan være kridt, talkum, glas, pigmenter etc.
De tekniske plasttyper – også kaldet konstruktionsplast eller Engineering plastics – er en gruppe af plastmaterialer, der anvendes til krævende opgaver.
Her stilles der højere krav til egenskaber som f.eks. slagstyrke, stivhed, kemisk resistens, varmeresistens, slidstyrke og brandhæmmende egenskaber mm.
Konstruktionsplast besidder således en bedre kombinationen af fysiske, termiske og kemiske egenskaber end de såkaldte Basis Polymerer typisk udviser.
PVC opdeles typisk i to segmenter – blød og hård PVC.
PVC er et alsidigt og derfor meget attraktivt materiale. Blandt de fremherskende egenskaber tæller transparens og god kemikalieresistens. Desuden opnås en høj grad af stivhed ved de hårde typer. Ved de blødgjorte typer opnår man derimod stor fleksibilitet foruden en høj grad af slagfasthed.
Én af PVC-materialets helt store fordele er, at det er ”født” selvslukkeligt – hvorfor man ikke behøver at tilsætte miljøbelastende brandhæmmere.
Alt dette kombineret med materialets høje genanvendelighed, gør materialet meget anvendeligt i mange sammenhænge.
Termoplastiske elastomerer er en meget bred produktgruppe af bløde materialer. De er alle kendetegnet ved høj fleksibilitet, men har hver især deres egne specielle styrker.
Elastomererne udviser ofte lignende egenskaber med gummi, men hvor eksempelvis TPE har den fordel, at den kan forarbejdes ved traditionelle termoplastiske processer.
Materialeegenskaber som kompression, olieresistens, transparens, slidstyrke, varmerestistens, soft touch indgår ofte i overvejelserne hos designerne, når den rette materiale-kategori skal vælges til fx bygningsmaterialer, automotive applikationer, sportsartikler, elektriske komponenter og husholdningsartikler mm.
Genbrugsmaterialer opdeles typisk i to segmenter; Post Consumer og Post Industrial.
I begge tilfælde udvikles der meget veldefinerede compounds af høj kvalitet. Post Industrial kvaliteterne er naturligvis af højere kvalitet og lidt dyrere, men faktum er, at Post Consumer kvaliteterne ofte klarer opgaven.
Som noget helt nyt og unikt tilbyder Plastcom også Bio-baseret Post Consumer materialer – såfremt reduktion af CO2 er et fokusområde.

Om det er opake eller transparente farver til diverse polymerer, eller om det er specialeffekter som marmor, glow in the dark, fluorescens, glimmer, metal eller lignende – så har vi løsningen hurtigt og enkelt.
Vi skelner typisk mellem 4 underkategorier når vi tænker masterbatch.
Farver: Opake eller transparente farver til alle polymerer
Black: Sorte højkoncentrerede Masterbatches
White: Hvide højkoncentrerede Masterbatches
Additiver: Funktionsadditiver som antioxidant, slip, antislip, UV, antistat, etc.
The group of Basic Plastics typically counts Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP) and Polystyrene (PS).
These 3 polymers account for about 50% of the world’s plastic consumption, and are used in everything from foils, packaging, furniture, toys, water bottles, beer boxes, medical devices, hoses, pipes, insulation etc.
In addition, the base polymers (especially PP) can be added to a wide range of additives to add special properties. It can be chalk, talc, glass, pigments etc.
The technical plastic types – also called structural plastics or Engineering plastics – are a group of plastic materials used for demanding tasks.
Here, higher demands are placed on properties such as impact strength, stiffness, chemical resistance, heat resistance, durability and fire retardant properties, etc.
Structural plastic thus possesses a better combination of physical, thermal and chemical properties than the so-called Basic Polymers typically exhibit.
PVC is typically divided into two segments – soft and hard PVC.
PVC is a versatile and therefore very attractive material. Among the predominant properties, transparency and good chemical resistance count. In addition, a high degree of stiffness is achieved by the hard types. The softened types, on the other hand, achieve great flexibility in addition to a high degree of impact resistance.
One of the great advantages of the PVC material is that it is “born” self-extinguishable – which is why you do not need to add environmentally damaging fire retardants.
All this, combined with the high recyclability of the material, makes the material very useful in many contexts.
Thermoplastic elastomers are a very wide product group of soft materials. They are all characterized by high flexibility, but each has their own special strengths.
The elastomers often exhibit similar properties with rubber, but where, for example, TPE has the advantage that it can be processed by traditional thermoplastic processes.
Material properties such as compression, oil resistance, transparency, durability, heat resistance, soft touch are often taken into account by designers when choosing the right material category for e.g. building materials, automotive applications, sporting goods, electrical components and household goods, etc.
Recycled materials are typically divided into two segments; Post Consumer and Post Industrial.
In both cases, very well-defined compounds of high quality are developed. Post Industrial grades are of course of higher quality and a little more expensive, but the fact is that Post Consumer qualities often do the job.
As something completely new and unique, Plastcom also offers Bio-based Post Consumer materials – if reducing CO2 is a focus area.
