Enhancing Packaging Efficiency
Plastics stand out as prevalent wrapping materials for several reasons, boasting affordability, lightweight nature, robust chemical and biological resistance, and exceptional workability. This renders them suitable for diverse package scenarios. Over the years, the integration of stabilization and functional additives has been essential to ensure plastics excel in various packaging roles, aligning with consumer needs and converter processing demands. Notably, hydrotalcite-like materials, exemplified by Kisuma’s DHT™-4 product range, play a pivotal role in irreversible acid scavenging from catalyst residue, demonstrating significant synergy with other additives to amplify overall performance.

Packaging Product Applications
Thermoforming
DHT™-4 offers an alternative to calcium stearate as an acid scavenger, effectively addressing blooming issues in thermoforming. This translates to enhanced optics, improved surface attributes including printability and sealability.
Raffia
DHT™-4 proves a prime additive range for diverse flexible packaging solutions. Specifically, in raffia formulations, where low water-carry-over (WCO) is essential, DHT™-4's acid scavenging mechanism aligns perfectly, preventing water-carry-over.
Artificial Leather
Rigid Packaging
Kisuma's DHT™-4 acid scavengers offer polyolefin producers versatile benefits across thin wall injection molding, extrusion blow molding, and injection stretch blow molding processes. By replacing traditional acid scavengers, they optimize migration limits, physical attributes, and aesthetics.
Polyolefin Films
DHT™-4's non-migratory nature enables the fine-tuning of film surfaces for vital processing stages like metallization, corona/plasma treatments, printing, and lamination. These steps are essential for unlocking film surface potential, packaging's function and durability.
