Ten-year old additives masterbatch supplier iD Additives, La Grange, Ill., has made its market debut in the liquid color and additives business for thermoplastics and with a focus on the PET caps & closures and bottle sectors.
The fast-growing company offers foaming agents, UV stabilizer systems, purging compounds and additive masterbatches. Technical manager Brian Cochran has 30+ years of experience in the plastics industry and is an expert in color and appearance additives among other areas.
