KAFRIT IL

As we deck the halls and countdown to 2025, may the spirit of Christmas fill your heart with peace and joy, and may the New Year be your best one yet. Happy Holidays! 🥂

What is the connection between KAFRIT IL’s R&D engineers and the root development of crops in the fields? The answer lies in our photo-selective green and brown masterbatches for mulch films, which are tailored to influence plant morphology. These films suppress weed growth while transmitting near-infrared radiation (NIR) to warm the soil and improve root development. This solution is ideal for crops requiring controlled light exposure and optimized growth conditions.

Sustainability isn't just a goal, it's a journey. This year, Kafrit took another meaningful step forward, earning a Bronze Medal from EcoVadis, with +6 points to our score compared to last year (which is a big leap forward)! 🌍📈 What does that mean? It’s not about colors or awards—it's about progress. It's about constantly refining our practices, setting higher standards, and making real, measurable changes that align with a more sustainable future. While the medal may be bronze, the effort and commitment behind it are golden!

Did you know that 33%-50% of the world's food production ends up as waste? Our innovative masterbatch for re-closable packaging is here to keep your food fresh and free from food waste. Engineered for compatibility with PE, this polyolefin-based solution seamlessly integrates into a 15-micron thickness adhesive layer. With your sustainability goals in mind, the packaging remains fully recyclable, not just preserving food and keeping it fresh—but protecting the planet.

Misty greenhouses got workers bumping into each other? Not anymore - with KAFRIT IL’s new PFAS-free anti-mist masterbatch! Fully aligned with today’s stringent regulations, KAFRIT IL’s solution leaves fluoro polymers out of the equation, keeping it safe and compliant. This masterbatch gives agricultural film manufacturers full control, allowing them to adjust mist protection independently of anti-fog additives. Clear films, compliant solutions, and custom dosages mean every greenhouse can stay mist-free without a hint of PFAS.

Can you make the tomato look redder? Of course, with red HDPE nets! These types of nets trigger growth patterns that lead to larger, healthier fruits, and enhance the red coloration of fruits, making them more appealing. We offer red color masterbatches for agricultural applications that are suitable for a variety of crops, from tomatoes to peppers.

Using pesticides can be harmful to humans and of course to the environment. However, it’s a must for farmers as they aim for maximal crop yield and quality. One way to minimize the use of these harmful materials is using yellow mulch films that can attract pests, such as white flies, so they would land on the film and not harm the crop! KAFRIT IL is happy to provide a bright yellow masterbatch for mulch films to help repel the harmful insects from your crops.

Advanced solutions, such as Nemo Nanomaterials’ carbon nanotube-based antistatic additives, are core to KAFRIT IL product development. The Nemo Nanoblend solution offers superior conductivity at lower concentrations, compatibility with various polymers, and color flexibility, allowing for colorful end products.

Introducing 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐥 Masterbatches: an innovative solution that bridges the gap between polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) films. With Crossitol, you can achieve remarkable results in film production. These masterbatches enable the creation of highly transparent films using only linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), offering significant cost advantages over traditional non-crosslinked high-density polyethylene (HDPE) films. By leveraging Crossitol, you can potentially eliminate the need for HDPE, improving processability and workability on vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) lines. In addition to transparency and cost advantages, Crossitol-treated BOPE films exhibit superior thermal stability, rivalling the properties of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films. These films also demonstrate increased impact resistance, enhanced puncture resistance against sharp edges, and improved tear resistance, ensuring the integrity of your products during transportation and handling. The recyclable nature of Crossitol additives further contributes to a sustainable packaging industry, while reducing costs and waste. Embrace the future of film packaging with Crossitol and unlock the potential to create transparent, strong, and heat-resistant films, moving away from the limitations of HDPE.

Static electricity is a persistent challenge across industries, causing costly disruptions and safety risks. Traditional anti-static solutions can fall short, failing to effectively control static charges or doing so in a local manner. KAFRIT IL offers a superior option. Our conductive additives, developed in collaboration with DELTA KUNSTSTOFFE AG and Nemo Nanomaterials, provide excellent conductivity in low concentrations and are suitable for a variety of polymers.
