Crosslinking (Peroxides)
Crosslinking, Efficiency and Safety
MasterPlast is among the Italian leaders in crosslinking masterbatches for foams and technical articles: reliable and repeatable solutions for polyethylene crosslinking, with safe handling of thermally sensitive additives.
Crosslinking agents are used to create bonds between polymer chains, improving thermal stability, mechanical strength, and dimensional stability of finished products. Our solutions are based on peroxide-based masterbatches (not pure additives), available on EVA or LDPE carrier resins to ensure compatibility and optimal dispersion. Our expertise in XPE foams and our capability to handle agents with low decomposition temperatures guarantee processability and consistent production quality.
Why choose our crosslinking masterbatches
- Market leadership in crosslinking agents for crosslinked PE (XPE) foams.
- Peroxide-based formulation in masterbatch form for easier storage and dosing compared to free peroxide.
- EVA/LDPE carriers for process compatibility and uniform dispersion.
- Dedicated production line for additives with low decomposition temperature.
- In-house laboratory equipped with TGA/DSC, rheometer and UL 94 chamber to support development and quality control.
