Plastic additives

• Plastics and other polymeric materials have become indispensable in our everyday lives. 
• All these plastics products are made from the essential polymer mixed with a complex blend of materials known collectively as additives. 
• Without additives, plastics would not work, but with them they can be made safer, cleaner, tougher and more colourful. 
• In fact, our world to day would be a lot less safe, a lot more expensive and a great deal duller without the additives that turn basic polymers in to useful plastics.
