At the production facilities of the plant, Nortex will continue to produce high-tech polymer-bound additives for tires and rubber products under the brand name Nortgran. These additives have high chemical efficiency, stability and rapid dispersion into compounds. The use of Nortgran additives in the production of end products reduces the cost of recycling and minimizes the amount of defects. In addition, their advantage is the manufactured form in the form of granules, which provides easy weighing and dosing, which allows automating the technological process. And thanks to the polymer shell, the product does not form chemical dust and is non-toxic, providing an optimal ecological and safe environment in production.
