From Additives to Solutions
Driving Plastics and Rubbers Toward High Performance, Superior Durability, and High-Value Applications with Antioxidant, Light Stabilization, and Spectrum Management Technologies
The 2026 Taipei International Plastics & Rubber Industry Show (TaipeiPLAS 2026) will take place from September 15 to 19 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. Centered around the theme "Form to Future," this year's exhibition focuses on smart manufacturing, innovative materials, and sustainable recycling—highlighting the plastics and rubber industry's shift from manufacturing efficiency toward material innovation and high-value applications.
As market demands rise across automotive, electronics, food packaging, outdoor materials, and consumer products, competitive landscapes are shifting. Materials must not only be easy to process, but they must also endure longer product lifecycles and increasingly complex operating environments.
In response to this transformation, Chitec will present "From Additives to Solutions" at TaipeiPLAS 2026. Featuring six key material solutions spanning food packaging, PET, artificial turf, TPU, to advanced optical applications, Chitec demonstrates how specialty chemical additives evolve beyond basic material protection to become the key driver for enhancing product performance and creating market differentiation.
Chitec focuses on six targeted solutions: Food-Grade PP/PE, Food-Grade PET, Artificial Turf, TPU, Blue Light Absorbers, and Advanced Triazine UV Absorbers. By combining antioxidant protection, light stabilization, and selective wavelength absorption, Chitec establishes a comprehensive technical framework for material stability and light management.
Food-Grade PP / PE Solutions
Designed for food containers, transparent packaging, and other food-contact PP/PE applications, Chitec presents its antioxidant portfolio including Revonox® 310V, 420V, 610V, 501, 608, and 608T.
From long-term thermal stability and clear food packaging to antioxidant protection during processing and service life, these solutions empower customers to tailor robust stabilization systems based on specific polymers, processing conditions, and end-use requirements.
Food-Grade PET Solutions
Targeting PET beverage bottles, food packaging, and related applications, Chitec combines antioxidant and light absorption technologies with Revonox® 608/608T, Chiguard® 380W, and Chiguard® GA403.
This product portfolio complies with food-contact regulations such as the FDA and EFSA, enabling material developers to look beyond processing efficiency and seamlessly integrate regulatory compliance, light stability, and product lifespan into their designs.
Artificial Turf Solutions
Because artificial turf is continuously exposed to sunlight and harsh outdoor elements, long-term light stability is essential.
Chitec presents three core HALS technologies: NH Type, NR Type, and N-OR HALS. Each technology caters to different polymers, additive systems, and environmental conditions, transforming light stabilization strategies from simple "HALS addition" to precision-engineered stabilization systems.
TPU Solutions
As TPU expands into footwear, films, and other high-performance markets, light, heat, and prolonged usage environments place higher demands on material durability.
Chitec offers comprehensive protection through product combinations like Chiguard® 1152, Chiguard® R-455, and Revonox® U-5068L, shielding TPU materials against light and thermal degradation to maintain performance during processing and end-use.
Blue Light Absorbers (Precision Spectrum Management)
Extending into advanced optical management, this series meets the precise wavelength control needs of MR/VR devices, displays, electronics, and optical materials.
Covering wavelengths from UVA to High-Energy Visible (HEV) light, it shifts light absorption technology from "protecting materials against light damage" to "utilizing materials to manage light."
Advanced Triazine UVA Solutions
Expanding UVA technology beyond conventional plastic weatherability into higher-performance, high-value end markets.
By establishing tailored stabilization strategies around Material × Spectrum × Application, these solutions serve high-end industries such as automotive, construction, electronic displays, and personal care.
Going beyond conventional material stabilization, Chitec leverages its Specialty Additives technology to venture into advanced light management.
With the rapid growth of MR/VR, displays, electronics, and optical materials, market demand for light absorption has evolved. It is no longer just about blocking UV rays, but about achieving precise control over specific wavelengths.
Chitec's featured blue light absorber solutions cover the full range from UVA to High-Energy Visible (HEV) light, including:
Providing distinct absorption bands across the UVA to HEV spectrum allows developers to design precise spectral properties tailored to their product requirements, unlocking new opportunities in MR/VR, displays, and high-end optical materials.
Another key technical highlight is Chitec's Advanced Triazine UV Absorber Solutions.
The product portfolio includes:
- Automotive Lighting Chiguard® 410
- Building & Construction Materials Chiguard® 5600
- Electronics & Displays Chiguard® 460
- Automotive Interiors Chiguard® 5577
- Personal Care Applications Chiguard® 5348
Spanning automotive, construction, electronics, and personal care, Chitec pushes UVA technology beyond basic plastic weatherability into premium, high-value markets.
Different applications demand compatibility with distinct substrates, processing conditions, light exposures, and service lifespans. Accordingly, Chitec delivers more than just standalone UVAs—it provides precise light stabilization strategies optimized for Material × Spectrum × Application.
