TapStar® OR is a unique masterbatch for neutralizing rancid and foul odour during the processing of PP& HDPE polymers. It effectively destroys the odour partially by adsorption and partially by chemical oxidation.

On oxidation, the vapour pressure of hydrocarbons reduces and their odoriferous character is lost. Most of the chemicals are odorous and therefore they may impart odours to plastics hence making it necessary to remove them. The active ingredient in TapStar OR is an adsorbent which would be able to accommodate the random molecules produced by PE & PP and keep them trapped. Metals which are capable of chemically oxidising the hydrocarbon materials with minor unsaturation are typically used.
