“ADK TRANSPAREX™ : Expanding Polypropylene's Potential with Ultimate^*1 Transparency"

ADK TRANSPAREX™ delivers high transparency with minimal addition. It also reduces the amount of additives required in polypropylene products, lowering costs and minimizing environmental impact. By enabling PP to replace materials such as polystyrene, PET, and even glass, ADK TRANSPAREX™ meets manufacturing’s diverse requirements.

＊1 The transparency of polypropylene was evaluated using test samples 1 mm thick (Haze values). The lowest haze value on the market was 3.2. PP with the addition of TRANSPAREX™ achieved a Haze value of 2.2. Lower Haze values indicate higher transparency. (Verified by a third-party)

ADEKA Polymer Additives

Plastics are used in many aspects of our daily lives. Although they are a lightweight and convenient material, they also have the disadvantage of being easily degraded when exposed to heat and ultraviolet rays, and being highly flammable. ADEKA's "polymer additives" can solve these weaknesses of plastics. By adding "polymer additives", it is possible to create plastics that are "high performance", "long lasting", and "friendly to people and the environment".
Leveraging the strength of its extensive lineup, ADEKA is expanding its business globally and providing valuable materials.

Three strengths of
ADEKA Polymer Additives

A wide range of products from general-purpose to high-performance

Plastic materials utilize polymer additives tailored to their specific material properties, applications, and needs. These additives are indispensable to plastics, as adding small amounts of 0.1% to 5% will significantly extend product life and performance.
Our product lineup features additives with diverse functions, including plasticizers for PVC (polyvinyl chloride), flame retardants for PC (polycarbonate), and environmentally friendly additives that promote plastic recycling or that use raw materials with a lower environmental impact.
