APPLICATIONS · DEVELOPMENT EXAMPLES
Built-in functionality for packaging and finishes
BIOMASTER · PACKAGING
Reusable packaging
For reusable packaging, selection starts with the polymer, moulding process and cleaning cycles. The treated surface is compared with a reference and its performance assessed after the intended use.
BIOMASTER · COATINGS
Finishes and contact surfaces
For panels and interior finishes, the additive is assessed within the coating. Compatibility with the paint, layer thickness and resistance to cleaning are part of the evaluation.
ADD A NEW FUNCTION
Improve an existing product
Integrate an additional feature into the material or product: antimicrobial protection, authentication, fragrance or specific functionality, taking the process and end application into account.

APPLICATIONS
Functions that can be integrated into products across multiple industries
We start with the customer’s product. Based on the material, process and objective, we identify which technology could add functionality.
Healthcare & medical devicesSurfaces, equipment and products where product hygiene is critical.
Containers / packagingFilms, packaging and components in PE, PP, PET and other compatible matrices.
Building materialsProfiles, panels, surfaces, coatings and construction components.
Automotive & transportParts, finishes, surfaces and component authentication.
Home & consumer productsConsumer goods, touch surfaces and reusable products.
Paints & coatingsPaints, lacquers, inks and powder coatings with specific incorporation methods.
Water & pipesPipes and systems where the material, water and biofilm require application-specific validation.
Industrial manufacturingIndustrial processes, cleanrooms and supply chains with specific functional requirements.How we approach an Addmaster application
We start with the material, manufacturing process and intended function. We then define the technology, incorporation format, documentation and validation appropriate to the finished product and target market.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
“My market is not asking for it yet”
Before adding a function, let us identify whether there is a need worth addressing: odour during use, material protection or a different product experience.
We can help you define what to evaluate and what benefit would make it worthwhile.

From material development to product communication
Additive selection also depends on the support needed to incorporate it into your process. Addmaster provides formulation, manufacturing and validation expertise; Deltachem coordinates the enquiry and defines your project’s needs.
Development and manufacturing
Technical support from additive selection through to production integration, considering the material, processing conditions and required performance.
Testing and documentation
Support in defining performance checks and gathering the information needed for the product and its target market.
Branding and communication
Guidance on technology identification, promotional materials and product claims supported by the relevant evaluation.
A proposal tailored to the project
First define the value the additive should deliver and how it will be verified. The technical and commercial proposal is developed around these requirements.
