GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Hromatka Group's portfolio includes almost all thermoplastic polymers. From standard plastics to technical and high-performance plastics, we can meet almost any product requirement.
Most of our polymers are available based on fossil raw materials, as well as recycled goods or as bioplastics. And they can even be compounded to customer specifications on request.
COMMODITIES and POLYOLEFINE
Standard plastics are the most commonly used polymers and are characterized by their versatility and ease of processing. For us, however, "standard" does not mean that we treat the material as a mass product. Rather, we also guarantee the highest product quality in this segment and offer comprehensive advice on making the right choice.
- Polyethylene Low Density PE (LDPE)
- Polyethylene High Density PE (HDPE)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- PP homopolymer (PPH)
- PP copolymer (PPC)
- PP random copolymer (PPR).
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
- Polystyrene (PS)
- Expanded polystyrene (EPS)
- Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
- Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer (ABS)
- Acrylic ester styrene acrylonitrile (ASA)
- Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)
- Styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN)
ENGINEERING PLASTICS
Engineering plastics are characterized by improved mechanical, thermal, electrical or chemical properties. These are all requirements of demanding technical applications. The Hromatka Group supplies
- Polycarbonate (PC)
- Polyamides (PA, PA6, PA6.6)
- Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)
- Polyoxymethylene / polyacetal (POM)
- Polyphenylene ether (PPE)
Blends and compounds expand the portfolio by combining properties. Developed specifically for your application on request.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE PLASTICS
When applications are exposed to extremes, there is no way around high-performance plastics. Due to their exceptional properties and performance in demanding applications, they are in high demand in the aerospace, medical technology, automotive, oil and gas industries, as well as in mechanical engineering. They generally have high tensile strength, flexural strength and rigidity, can withstand high and sometimes even extreme temperatures, are resistant to chemicals, acids, bases and solvents and are extremely resistant to abrasion and wear. You can build on these materials in the Hromatka Group:
- Thermoplastic polyimides (TPI)
- Polyetherimide (PEI)
- Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)
- Polyethersulfone (PES)
- Polysulfone (PSU)
- Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
- Polyphthalamide (PPA)
THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS (TPE)
Thermoplastic elastomers combine the properties of thermoplastic materials and elastomers. They are flexible, easy to shape and have the ability to return to their original shape after deformation. Depending on their composition and manufacturing process, TPEs offer a wide range of mechanical properties. From soft and rubbery to firm and robust. You will find the entire spectrum with us.
- Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU)
- Thermoplastic styrene block copolymers (TPS)
- Styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS)
- Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)
BIOPOLYMERS and REGRANULATES
Biopolymers have been in increasing demand for several years. However, there is still no precise definition of the term. What they all have in common, however, is that they are either made from renewable raw materials or can be broken down by biological processes. In the best case, both.
It is also important to distinguish whether bio-based materials are added to a conventional plastic or whether it is actually a 1:1 replacement of a polymer from fossil sources. In the latter case, this is referred to as a "drop-in" solution.
Since petrochemical sources such as petroleum are avoided and the material is derived from renewable resources such as plants, algae, bacteria, fungi, soy protein, sugar cane, vegetable oils or other biological sources, biopolymers have a lower environmental impact and contribute to reducing environmental pollution and promoting the circular economy.
The use of regranulates also helps to further reduce the CO2 footprint. The Hromatka Group not only has a steadily growing portfolio of recycled and upgraded recycling products, but is also increasingly specializing in active participation in the closed plastics cycle with companies belonging to the Group such as Wind & Thermoplastkreislauf (TPK) and SAX Polymers.
Numerous industries, including packaging, agriculture, medicine, cosmetics, textiles and construction, are already relying on sustainable alternatives.
MASTERBATCHES, ADDITIVES, CLEANING GRANULATES and MORE
Can't find the right one despite all the choice? In addition to thermoplastics, our product portfolio also includes masterbatches and additives that specifically modify or improve the properties of plastic materials directly on the customer's premises in order to give the finished plastic products the desired performance characteristics.
In some countries we also stock a wide range of rubber/rubber materials.
We will be happy to advise you on cleaning granulates tailored to your machines and materials for efficient, fast and cost-saving material changes during ongoing production.
