Development and Expansion of Plastic Additives for a Sustainable Society - Bicchemie
ビックケミー・ジャパン
The development and utilization of plastic products in a sustainable society is being sought. This time, we will introduce the concept and examples of BYK additives regarding the sustainable (mainly carbon-neutral) contributions of plastic compounds, particularly thermoplastic resin compounds.
Carbon Neutral
1. Utilization of plant-derived resins (use of layered silicates)
2. Effective use of plant fiber fillers
3. Reduction of fiber usage in glass fiber and carbon fiber reinforced compounds
4. Material recycling
4.1 Stabilization of resin products
4.2 Compatibility and dispersion stabilization of foreign substances
5. Uncoated products
5.1 Improvement of colorability using wetting dispersants
5.2 Improvement of flow marks and adhesion using composite silicates
Thermoplastic materials are in high demand due to their versatility and are used across many industries and applications worldwide, from the automotive industry to electrical and electronic products, devices, and the construction industry, as well as in the film and packaging industry. BYK provides solutions that impart a wide range of high performance for industrial applications such as cables, food packaging, and building components.
We introduce flame retardants and flame retardant additives that are effective for improving non-halogen flame retardancy in EM wire coatings, building materials, and electrical and electronic applications. Please refer to the product lineup of the BYK-MAX FR series, organically modified layered silicate CLOISITE, and BYK-MAX CT.
We have published the product list (6th edition) for Big Chemie additives for thermoplastic resins. This reference guide summarizes solutions for customer challenges in the thermoplastic field, including SCONA modifiers, dispersants, and additive mixing compacting technology.
Multifunctional graft polymer SCONA with high molecular design freedom: compatibility of thermoplastic resin compounds, enhancement of adhesion between dissimilar materials, and viscosity adjustment.
Features of SCONA
- A wide range of products composed of various backbone polymers and graft monomers
Backbone Polymers: PE, EVA, POE, SEBS, PP, PLA, PET, etc.
Graft Groups: MAH (maleic anhydride)
AA (acrylic acid)
GMA (glycidyl methacrylate)
PS (styrene), etc.
- Product design that utilizes the inherent properties of backbone polymers with minimal thermal history
Mechanical strength, fluidity, low VOC/graft monomer residue, etc.
- High grafting amount = effectiveness with low additive amount
- Supplied in pellet and powder form = compatibility with production lines

Ideal for VOC and odor reduction in olefin-based plastics and elastomers! BYK-MAX P 4200, BYK-MAX OR series.
Features of BYK-MAX P 4200:
- Retains water in the PP carrier through BYK's unique technology
- Forms microbubbles that are wet with VOCs and odor components during the extrusion process, which are released through vacuum degassing
- Easy to use without the need for capital investment!
Features of BYK-MAX OR 4207 / BYK-MAX OR 4206:
- Masterbatches containing adsorptive components of OR 4207 (PP carrier) and OR 4206 (PE carrier)
- Effective against odor components from acids, sulfur compounds, and nitrogen compounds
- Recommended to be added during compounding, but also effective when added as a drive blend during injection molding
