Tego Cycle Evonik’s Tego Cycle family of additives offers products that can be used at every stage of the mechanical recycling process for plastics. For example, in the washing stage, Tego Cycle additives include wetting agents and antifoam products to prevent the adhesion of dirt and air, providing excellent plastics separation, as well as additives for de-inking and de-labeling. The Tego Cycle family also includes additives that reduce odor and improve the compatibilization of rigid and flexible materials, including additives optimized for resins including PE and PP.
