Plastic products are very sensitive to scratches. These scratches have a negative impact on the aesthetics and perceived quality of the product. Moreover, dust and dirt tend to inlay into the scratched surface making it less hygienic.

Ampacet’s new Antiscratch 1000617-E masterbatch is designed to enhance the appearance of injection moulded and blow moulded articles by significantly improving the scratch resistance of plastics. It is a powerful additive that helps to avoid wear marks on polyethylene and polypropylene articles generated during manufacturing, transport and handling processes.

By protecting efficiently the plastic surface against scratches, AntiScratch 1000617-E allows to reduce rejects of plastic products due to scratches that are generated, for example, during manufacturing, handling or transport processes. It reduces also the risk of partial or total refusal of the products by customers which implies extra charges to the manufacturer.

AntiScratch 1000617-E performs well on clear as well as on dark colours where scratches are the most visible. It has no impact on the product’s colour, odour or gloss. It provides a long-term protection that lasts during the life cycle of the product.
