Plastic + Packaging

Advanced Additive Technology for Stronger, More Efficient Plastics

ITI Technologies has developed a patented aqueous additive chemistry capable of dramatically improving the performance of plastic formulations. Built upon ITI’s solubility-enhancing platform, this technology modifies the interaction between polymers and mineral fillers to enhance material performance while reducing production costs.

When combined with minerals such as calcium carbonate, ITI’s additive enables manufacturers to achieve significantly higher filler loadings without sacrificing mechanical or thermal properties. The result is a tougher, more efficient plastic product that integrates seamlessly into existing manufacturing processes.

Stronger Plastics Through Enhanced Dispersion

ITI’s additive technology allows polypropylene, polyethylene and other plastic substrate formulations to incorporate at least 40% calcium carbonate filler, resulting in parts that exhibit flex strength equal to or greater than traditional polystyrene alternatives.

By improving mineral dispersion and reducing impurities, manufacturers can create stronger, more durable products while reducing reliance on costly resin materials.

Reduced Material Usage and Faster Production

The enhanced filler compatibility by ITI’s chemistry contributes to shorter injection molding cycle times while lowering overall resin consumption.

Because the additive works within existing manufacturing equipment and processes, companies can realize operational improvements without major capital investments or production disruptions.

Why ITI for Plastic + Packaging

ITI’s patented chemistry was developed to improve the interaction between aqueous solutions and mineral-containing materials. For plastic and packaging applications, this technology creates opportunities to increase filler loading, reduce material costs, improve manufacturing efficiency, and support sustainability initiatives while maintaining product performance.
