ssociated as they are with

the legendary development

of high-temperature super-

conductivity, compounds conjure

up visions of ‘magic wire’ from

silver spools. Coatings, too, have

something

of

the

marvellous

about them, probably owing to the

seeming improbability of imparting

fail-safe

protection

in

minute

thicknesses of deposition along

a strand barely visible to the eye.

Customarily bracketed together,

compounds and coatings enjoy a

particular prestige in wire making

practice.

But compounds and coatings must

also be considered in the light of

an entirely down-to-earth factor:

they are custom-created of expen-

sive materials. In today’s hyper-

competitive industrial environment,

they must provide value for money –

and they do. Companies understand

that retaining a sterling reputation

is harder than gaining it in the first

place. Like their excellent products

and services, they are more than

equal to the challenge.

Ampacet manufactures high

quality colour and additive

concentrates

for

plastics

processors. The company’s

product lines include utility

and speciality additives for

many different polymers. The

company invests heavily in

manufacturing

technology,

research and development,

multi-level statistical quality

and process control, dedi-

cated

customer

services,

constructive

safety

and

environmental policies, and all

of its plants are ISO certified.

The company’s diverse range

of reliable and consistent

masterbatches utilise existing

and emerging technologies

for industrial applications

including wire and cable,

bi-axially oriented polypropy-

lene,

pipe

and

profile

extrusion, blow moulding,

injection

moulding,

and

blown and cast film.

In addition to manufacturing large and small orders of masterbatches,

the company formulates additive concentrates such as UV absorbers and

inhibitors, flame retardants, anti-static agents, process aids and purges,

antioxidants, scented masterbatches, slips and anti-blocks, conductive

blacks, foaming and nucleating agents, and catalysts for PEX.
