Problem
The processing of plastics often leads to the formation of free radicals, which can disrupt the manufacturing process and degrade the material's thermal stability, flame retardancy, and recyclability. Traditional stabilization methods may not be effective in the presence of acidic species or halogenated materials, limiting their applicability.
Solution
GeNOR™ develops and provides proprietary stabilization technology based on unique NOR-HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) functionalization to enhance the properties of plastics. The technology improves thermal stability by preventing disruptions during processing, increases flame retardant performance by reducing NOR losses, and enhances recyclability. GeNOR's patented technology features NOR-functionalization up to 100%, improving processability and radical scavenging performance, even in the presence of acidic species and halogenated materials. GeNOR™ offers drop-in solutions, application-ready formulas, and production-ready materials validated on an industrial scale.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers of films, tapes, fibers, nonwoven materials, and foams seeking to improve the thermal stability, flame retardancy, and recyclability of their plastic products.
