Plastic Materials

Plastics are probably the man-developed materials which offer a greater versatility, since they admit to be mixed with a variety of substances that give interesting new properties to the polymeric matrices.

Nowadays, the development of new materials with improved properties is one of the most attractive researching fields in the plastic industry , as well as the main activity of Tecnopackaging.

Using extrusion - compounding techniques, Tecnopackaging incorporates different nanoparticles to polymeric matrices to develop specific products that meet the needs of our customers.

Subsequently, the new developed materials are tested and characterized in our laboratory, ensuring compliance with the required standards.
