Compounds marketed under the Terraloy brand were previously covered by Plastics Technology in 2010. The effort was scaled back due to commercial challenges and complexity in the supply chain. The company is now able to resurrect compounds which were previously available under the brand, as well as offering entirely new polymer and additive products. Both standard and customized products for specific applications will be available.
“Our efforts support our history as a sustainability focused partner in the value chain focused on providing customers with new materials that meet their sustainability requirements,” says Michael Roberts, Teknor Apex’s chief innovation officer.
