NEW: PlastiTrax® Real Plastix

| Real-Life Microplastics | 

The PlastiTrax® Real Plastix tablet contains microplastic fragments derived from real everyday consumer products. In contrast to reference materials produced from pure polymer raw materials, these particles originate from typical consumer plastics such as packaging materials, bottles, household plastics, or technical plastic components. As a result, they contain not only the base polymer but also the additives commonly present in real materials, including fillers, pigments, stabilizers, or plasticizers.

​

The particles are produced through controlled mechanical fragmentation (cryomilling) of the original materials and subsequently separated into defined size fractions. This process generates realistic microplastic fragments with natural fracture edges, surface textures, and material properties, closely resembling the particles typically found in environmental samples.
