Plastrans

TURNING VISIONS INTO REALITY

Your One-Stop-Shop for Chemical Raw Materials and Sustainable Solutions.

Plastrans constantly challenges the status quo. Not only because we continue to optimize our product portfolio by relying on high quality chemical raw materials, but also by fostering the development of biopolymers.

We have been marketing polymers, compounds, and masterbatches since the year 1991. Today, we are a family-owned corporation that operates as a one-stop shop throughout the world, with strong emphasis on our core region: EMEA. Nonetheless, wherever you contact us from, our experts always pay special attention to your specific needs by identifying the best possible option for you. Collaborating closely with our manufacturing partners and relying on our state-of-the-art warehousing concept enables us to guarantee prompt deliveries even at times of shortage.

Expertise

Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polystyrene, Recyclates, and More.

Nowadays, plastics are among the most disputed raw materials globally, however, their use shall not be foregone. After all, plastics conversion products comprise multiple beneficial traits compared to other materials such as iron, glass, carton, concrete, or steel. Nonetheless, it is our declared aim to raise awareness for protecting our planet’s resources by using them sparingly. Above all, we significantly reduce our fossil-based activities and endorse the global circular economy. This comprehensive approach entails high-end polymers over commodities in order to ensure the best possible functionality and durability of your product, succinctly: quality not quantity.

Expertise

We cater a large portfolio of polymers, that are suited for a vast variety of use-cases, to our customers.

Polyethylene (PE)

PE varies in density, is relatively elastic, and temperature sensitive. Its advantages are its high stability and its recyclability. We offer Polyethylene in various forms: HDPE, MDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, MPE, and others.

Polypropylene (PP)

PP is harder than PE, cold-resistant, and generally presults in a matte surface on the final product. Our PP range comprises: Homopolymers (HPP), Impact Copolymers (CPP), and Random Copolymers (RPP).

Polystyrene (PS)

Characterized by a glossy surface of the final product and good electrical conductivity, PS offers versatile use options. We supply polystyrene in the following forms: High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS), Expandable Polystyrene (EPS), and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS).

Compounds

Compounds are polymers to which fillers, stabilizers, and additives are added – ultimately, this results in immaculate processability and confers upon the finished products high optical, mechanical and chemical resistance. We offer myriad compounds in different configurations: PE Compounds, PP Compounds, MAH-grafted Compounds, and Recycling Compounds.

Biopolymers

Good by Nature: Our Biopolymers.

Bioplastics are plastic materials produced from renewable biomass sources, such as vegetable fats and oils, corn starch, tapioca starch, potato starch, straw, sugarcane, recycled food waste, cellulose, etc.

Some fossil-based polymers are also called bioplastics due to their ability to biodegrade. This leads us to three main categories of Biopolymers based on their source and biodegradability aspect, bio-based polymers with no biodegradability aspect, bio-based and biodegradable biopolymers, and fossil-based biodegradable polymers.

Finally, bioplastics consist of a large family of materials with varying properties and applications. Essentially, the materials are biobased, biodegradable, or both.

Plastrans can provide different kinds of biobased and/or biodegradable polymers, having a growing portfolio in this area. Our expertise in the field of biopolymers grew over years and can support you to find the best solutions for your sustainable biopolymer products.

Sustainability

Committed to Sustainability.

Gladly, an increasing number of people globally endorse sustainability and environmental awareness – so do we. As a corporation, we are committed to a brighter future by striving towards a holistically circular economy that is only attainable by defining and exerting clear measures that are in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
