Gabriel-Chemie GmbH invests in a NIR detectable measuring device and solves the problem directly in-house. This is possible for the entire near infrared (NIR) detectable masterbatch product line.
Worldwide plastics recycling is reaching a rapid pace.
Black and colored plastics, however, place the highest demands on the separation in plastics recycling. With the widespread NIR sensor technology, the near-infrared spectrum reflected by the plastic is evaluated. Each type of plastic has a characteristic spectrum and can thus be identified, sorted and finally recycled.
Gabriel-Chemie has been offering near-infrared testing and certification of all masterbatches to customers on request since April 2021. This saves time and money. Due to the current demand from various markets, this test is more and more desired for all colors. An existing end product or masterbatch can also be tested. If NIR detection is not possible, Gabriel-Chemie offers a sustainable solution.
Pioneer in sustainability and environmentally conscious action
Gabriel-Chemie sees itself as a pioneer in the field of sustainable masterbatches and innovative product solutions. Martin Horvath, Corporate Product Manager at Gabriel-Chemie, says: “Investing in sustainable technologies is an investment in the future. We want to make this added value available to our customers. The detectability directly from Gabriel-Chemie thus promises product and quality security that our customers can always rely on. The newly launched product mix including COTREP * certified products and the numerous customer inquiries confirm the rapidly growing need for NIR-detectable products. “
