Product Description
Polyethylene film material is frequently used in packaging material. The use of a transparent packaging material adds to the quality perception of the product with consumers. Polyethylene pricing varies with the availability of its precursor, crude oil. To mitigate large variation in pricing it is advantageous to add mineral fillers to the polyethylene that reduce the overall cost of packaging materials. Frequently used low cost fillers such as calcium carbonate ea will only yield opaque materials and can only be used in a certain section of the packaging market.
Transparent fillers for Polyethylene need to have a refractive index close to that of the polymer as well as being chemically inert and safe in use so as not to pose a danger to human health.
One group of fillers that fulfills all of these requirements is Barium Sulfate (BaSO4) powder in both natural and synthetic form. Food and Drug Administration (CFR 175.300b): Food and Drug (FDA Jurisdiction): Barium Sulfate is listed as a safe pigment for use in resinous and polymeric coatings in contact with food.

TANAMERA PLASTICS (SHENZHEN) was established in 2004.
.
Under Dutch management we created a niche market for ourselves as producers of high quality, low cost TPE / TPV compounds and additive masterbatches in China
.
In 2011 we entered into a JV with SUNGALLON RUBBER & PLASTIC, a very large TPE/TPR compounder to increase our R&D and supply capabilities for Export Markets.
.
Our plant capacity for Thermoplastic Elastomeric Compounds is in excess of 18, 000 T per annum. The Filler Masterbatch factory has a capacity of 20, 000 T per annum.
.
Our production locations, with permanent Dutch management, are in ShenZhen, Southern-China and International Technical Sales and Marketing teams are located both in China and Singapore.
.
Today the JV employs around 90 people, of which 10 active in R&D and QC.
.
Our Portfolio now includes:
TPE/TPR/TPC compounds
Contract Manufacturing of TPE/TPV compounds
Filler and Additive masterbatches
