PlastiTrax® Polymers
| Materials |
All polymers used in our products originate from virgin polymer granulates (except PlastiTrax RealPlastix) to ensure reproducible and well-defined material properties. The use of pure raw materials enables controlled production of microplastic fragments with consistent polymer composition, density, and spectral characteristics, supporting reliable analytical applications and standardized method development.
