Achieve strong, reliable PET strapping using recycled materials while maintaining mechanical performance and process stability.

Nexam Chemical enables controlled IV increase and improved structure in rPET, supporting demanding strapping applications.

Recycled PET often suffers from reduced intrinsic viscosity (IV) and degraded polymer structure during recycling and reprocessing.

This can lead to:

• Reduced tensile strength
• Poor elongation performance
• Unstable extrusion conditions
• Inconsistent stretching behaviour
• Variation between recycled batches

Reactive Recycling™ enables controlled modification of the polymer during extrusion, restoring material properties lost during recycling.

This allows:

• Increased IV in recycled PET
• Improved process stability
• More consistent material quality

For PET strapping, increasing IV alone is not enough.

Mechanical properties such as:

• Tensile strength
• Elongation
• Stretching performance

must also be maintained or improved.

NEXAMITE® M992000 is a reactive masterbatch designed for applications where both IV and mechanical performance are critical.

Key benefits

• Increases IV while maintaining polymer linearity
• Enhances tensile strength and elongation
• Enables stable and consistent extrusion
• Supports high recycled content in PET straps
• Suitable for demanding mechanical applications

Using NEXAMITE® M992000 in PET strapping production enables:

• Stable extrusion conditions
• Reduced variability between batches
• Improved stretching and orientation behaviour
• More consistent final product quality

Typical applications include:

• Industrial PET strapping bands
• Packaging and transport securing systems
• High-strength strapping materials

Nexam Chemical enables reliable production of high-performance PET strapping using recycled materials.
