CirKular+™ C1010 (50% recycled)

CirKular+™ C1010 (50% recycled) by KRATON is a multi-resin compatibilizer and performance enhancement additive for upcycling mixed post-consumer resin (PCR) and post-industrial resin (PIR) recycling streams. It brings cost effective solutions suitable for multiple end use applications. This additive offers end product durability & aesthetics, superior mechanical properties, impact strength at room & low temperature and flexibility in tailoring properties. It shows tailored balance between stiffness & impact, increased recyclate homogeneity & compatibility, enhanced processability and improved surface finish & colorability. CirKular+™ C1010 (50% recycled) displays improved multi-resin compatibility across virgin plastics, bioplastics, post-consumer & post-industrial resin waste streams such as bioplastics: polylactic acid, polyolefins and polyolefinic blends: PP, HDPE, MDPE, LLDPE and LDPE, metallocenes, polystyrene and high impact polystyrene, polar resins: PET, polyamides and nylon, PC, ABS, EVOH, PVA, EVA and wood plastic composites. It provides higher post-consumer & post-industrial content, improved end life recyclability & reusability of end product and positive environmental impact with lower CO₂ emissions and plastic waste reduction. It is suitable for compounding and dry blending extrusion, injection & blow molding films and thermoforming multi-layer structure as a tie layer. Recommended for rigid packaging (food or non-food), flexible packaging and films, automotive consumer products and industrial building & construction. Typical levels of this additive range from 3 to 5% weight of the total formulation.
