Innovative Kunststoffveredelungs GmbH

"The company IKV – Innovative Kunststoffveredelung GmbH (Company for Innovation in Plastics) is a medium-sized, family owned company. It is situated in the industrial park of Premnitz, a town 50 miles (70 km) west of Berlin. The generous and environmentally friendly industrial site of Premnitz offers convenient transport infrastructure via road, rail and waterway. The story of IKV started with the development of an innovative technology of handling carbon blacks in the manufacturing of black master-batches, initially based only on PET and PBT carriers. Carbon black is a material which is difficult to handle, as it creates complex molecular structures such as agglomerates and aggregates. With our innovative and outstanding technology every single carbon black molecule is coated with polymer which results in an even dispersion of carbon black within the masterbatch and prevents degradation processes of the polymer, all without any additives like dispersion aids, waxes or co-polymers."
