Odour Removal Additive for Plastics
Remove unpleasant odors from recycled PP and PE plastics with an advanced additive designed to absorb and neutralize VOCs during processing. Unlike traditional masking agents, this Nuviachem Ordor Removal Additive OG003 solution delivers permanent odor control without affecting material properties. Ideal for recyclers, compounders, and plastic manufacturers seeking higher-quality output and improved product value.
Recycled Plastic Odour Removal Solution
Recycled plastics such as PP and PE often contain persistent odours caused by contamination, thermal degradation, and the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These odours are commonly generated from residual food waste, chemicals, and breakdown products formed during repeated processing cycles. As a result, they significantly limit the use of recycled materials in high-value applications such as consumer packaging, household goods, and automotive components.
Beyond product limitations, odour issues also create operational challenges during the recycling and manufacturing process. Unpleasant fumes released during extrusion and molding can lead to poor air quality in production facilities, affecting the working environment and potentially impacting worker comfort and health. Strong odours may also require additional ventilation or air treatment measures, increasing operational costs.
In finished products, residual odours in recycled PP or PE pellets and molded parts can negatively affect product acceptance, especially in applications where cleanliness and neutrality are critical. This can result in customer complaints, reduced product value, and limited market opportunities for recycled materials.
Nuviachem Odor Removal Additive OG003 provides an effective and reliable solution by addressing the problem at its source. During processing, it absorbs and neutralizes VOCs, preventing odors from forming and being carried into the final product. The result is cleaner processing conditions, improved air quality, and high-quality, odor-free recycled plastics suitable for demanding applications.
Plastic Odour Neutralizer Additive Technology
NuviaChem OG003 is a high-performance odour removal additive specifically developed for plastics, designed to eliminate unpleasant smells in both recycled and virgin polymers. Unlike traditional masking agents, OG003 works at the molecular level to permanently neutralize odour-causing compounds. It is engineered to perform during extrusion, injection molding, and compounding processes, ensuring that odour removal takes place during melt processing—before the final product is formed. This results in cleaner, more consistent materials suitable for high-value and demanding applications.
The effectiveness of NuviaChem OG003 is based on a dual-action mechanism that combines physical adsorption and chemical neutralization. This advanced approach allows it not only to capture odour-causing molecules but also to break them down into non-odorous substances, delivering long-lasting results without masking.
VOC Absorbing Additive for Polymer Processing
NuviaChem OG003 features high-performance adsorption properties using specialized microporous structures that trap volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during melting and processing. These VOCs—such as amines, fatty acids, and sulphur-based compounds—are the primary source of unpleasant odours in recycled plastics.
Once captured, the active components within the additive initiate chemical reactions that neutralize and decompose these odour-causing molecules into inert, odourless compounds. This dual mechanism ensures that odours are not only contained but permanently eliminated.
By absorbing and neutralizing VOCs during processing, OG003 prevents odours from being released into the production environment and carried into the final product. The result is improved air quality during manufacturing and high-quality, odour-free plastic pellets and molded parts.
Odour Neutralization Without Masking in Plastics
Unlike fragrance-based solutions that only mask odours temporarily, this additive neutralizes them permanently through chemical reactions. Odour-causing molecules such as amines, fatty acids, and sulphur compounds are broken down into odourless substances. This ensures long-lasting odour control with no residual smell.
