Interfacial Launches Highly Filled, Proprietary Polymer Masterbatches in Partnership with NAGASE Specialty Materials
illi News/10105704

ITASCA, Ill. and PRESCOTT, Wis., Feb. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Interfacial Consultants ("Interfacial"), a Wisconsin-based innovator in advanced materials, has recently released two disruptive, highly filled masterbatch technologies, to be distributed by its sister company NAGASE Specialty Materials ("NSM").

These novel, proprietary composites—one biofiber-based, the other carbon nanotube-based—are engineered to enable greater filler dispersion for the production of high-performance compounds. As a result, companies within a wide range of industries, ranging from automotive manufacturing to household goods, will be able to rapidly formulate sustainable and electrostatic discharge (ESD)-safe polymers, while achieving lightweighting, strength, stiffness, productivity and processing objectives.

Both Interfacial and NSM specialize in connecting their customers with unique material solutions, and both are part of Japan-based NAGASE Group. This partnership represents the first instance in which Interfacial will leverage NSM's distribution capabilities to bring its differentiated products to a wider market.

"Interfacial is ecstatic about launching our disruptive, highly filled masterbatch technology with NAGASE Specialty Materials," said Interfacial Chief Operating Officer (COO) Jeff Cernohous. "It provides compounders with the ability to easily process difficult-to-handle materials, like natural fibers and carbon nanotubes. This allows them to create compounds with improved manufacturing output, dispersion and ultimate performance. We expect this to be the first of many new product launches with our NSM partners."
