Protecting People and Processes in Chemical Environments

Advanced Polymer Solutions to Minimize Risk in Chemical Processing

In the chemical industry, the stakes are high. Static discharge, chemical exposure, and material degradation pose significant risks in manufacturing and material handling operations. We specialize in developing conductive and dissipative compounds designed to handle the unique challenges of chemical processing and material handling. 

Customizable Protection for All Stages of Chemical Operations

Whether you need ESD-safe bins for flammable powders, conductive hoses for chemical transfer, or durable liners for storage containers, Premix materials provide reliable protection and consistent performance across every stage of the chemical process.

Our materials are engineered to:

  • Dissipate static and prevent sparks in hazardous areas
  • Resist chemical exposure and abrasion, extending product lifecycles
  • Maintain conductivity in extreme conditions, from liquid transfer to storage
  • Meet regulatory standards for hazardous environments, including ATEX and REACH

Reliable Protection for High-Risk Chemical Environments

Chemical processing and material handling come with high safety demands. Premix compounds are engineered to meet these challenges with built-in ESD protection, chemical resistance, and long-lasting durability — ensuring safe, efficient operations in environments where reliability is critical.

Our materials provide consistent conductivity across temperature and humidity variations and are well-suited for applications such as containers, tubing, sheets, and liners. With excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals, abrasion, and mechanical stress, they help maintain safety and integrity over time.

ATEX/EX Compliance – Built for Explosive Atmospheres

Premix compounds are engineered to support compliance with the European Union’s ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU), which governs equipment and protective systems used in potentially explosive environments.

While raw materials like plastics are not certified individually under the directive, they must be compatible with the safety requirements of the final product. Premix’s electrically conductive plastics meet these expectations — offering stable, low surface resistance (<10⁹ Ω) that helps prevent uncontrolled static discharges.

With proven performance in demanding conditions, our compounds are a trusted choice for use in chemical processing plants, gas storage, dust-filled production areas, and other ATEX/EX-classified zones.

Applications

Compounds for ESD-Safe Bins & Containers

Prevent static buildup during storage and transport of flammable liquids, powders, and sensitive chemicals.

Compounds for Fuel System Safety

Fuel filler necks and pipelines made from our conductive plastics prevent static buildup and reduce spark risk, enhancing safety during refueling operations.

Compounds for Flexible Tubing, Hoses & Profiles

Ensure safe liquid and gas transfer with conductive and dissipative tubing and hoses.

Compounds for Antistatic Films & Liners

Protect surfaces and contents from static buildup and contamination.
