In today’s modern life every activity is influenced by plastics, and many depend entirely on plastics products. Imagine cars without synthetic bumper, dashboards, steering wheels and switches, medicine without plastic hypodermic syringes and artificial hip joints. And what about telecommunications, dependent on plastic telephones, circuit boards and cable insulation. Our entertainment and leisure rely on the unique combination of characteristics offered by plastics in sports equipment and clothing, CDs, video and audio tape, television, and cinema - indeed you wouldn't be able to read this over the internet without plastics!

All these plastics products are made from the essential polymer mixed with a complex blend of materials known collectively as additives. Without additives, plastics would not work, but with them they can be made safer, cleaner, tougher, and more colorful. Additives cost money, of course, but by reducing production costs and making products last longer, they help us to save money and conserve the world's precious raw material reserves. In fact, our world today would be a lot less safe, a lot more expensive and a great deal duller without the additives that turn basic polymers in to useful plastics. In United States plastic additives markets has shown growth by 4.5% every year.
