Speciality Zeolites

Fresh food in plastic packaging

Product Overview

 

ZEOflair® zeolites are highly active adsorbents in powder form, for removing undesirable odours, flavours and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Typical application areas include thermoplastics, duroplastics, fibres, films, coatings, lacquers, inks, paints or construction materials - used as automotive parts, food (and non-food) packaging, textiles, building and construction parts and furniture. However, there are more applications being added every month.

ZEOflair® can be easily incorporated as an additive in powder form or in the form of a masterbatch. The typical loading in the final product is between 0.3% and 0.8%. It does not alter physical, chemical or mechanical properties at these loadings. All grades are non-toxic and chemically inert free-flowing powders with various food contact approvals.

The wide range of ZEOflair® products offers different adsorption characteristics: from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. Both small and large molecules can be trapped due to the mixture of pore sizes in the Angstrom size range.

Product Features
  • Zeolites with a spectrum of hydrophilicity - hydrophobicity
  • Grades with different pore sizes in the Angstrom range (mixed)
  • Fine particle size with d50 < 7 microns
  • White, free-flowing, powder
  • Loss on ignition < 8 wt%
Product Benefits
  • High internal pore capacity ensures low loadings with high absorption
  • Low impact on mechanical properties of the polymer due to low dose rates
  • Efficiently trap various odours and VOCs thanks to the different surface polarities and pore sizes
  • Adsorbates remain trapped in the zeolite unless heated to above 250°C
  • High thermal stability > 800°C and can improve heat ageing of polymers and fire resistance
  •  Chemically inert with food contact approval
Typical Applications
  • Low VOC paints and coatings
  • Low VOC polymer parts for interior automotive (VDA 278)
  • Odour trapping in fabric coatings, polymer films, blow moulded polymers etc
  • Improves polymer stability at elevated temperatures e.g. high-temperature rubbers
  • Masterbatch for trapping malodorous contaminants from pigments
  • Active air purification filter media
  • PVC and polymeric flooring

Additives for Recycled Thermoplastics

Thermoplastics are fantastic engineering materials. They are low cost, lightweight, easy to process and provide excellent durability. It’s no surprise therefore that thermoplastics are omnipresent in our lives, with the average European citizen consuming on average 50 kg per year. High time then to scrutinise thermoplastics from a sustainability standpoint.
