with the existing SSP equipment.
technology (MTR) super-bright chips are crystalline
and are of spherical shape. Semi-dull chips, on the
other hand, are amorphous and are of cylindrical Spherical Chips
shape.

Titan Dioxide is used as delustrant in semi-dull chips.

Film Grade Chips
PET chips used in BOPET and cast film processes are
produced for the packaging industry. PET Chips,
that are suitable for cast film processes are used in
production of sheets for thermoforming. The
conductivity level can be adjusted with a pinning
agent in PET chips that are produced for BOPET
applications.

In addition to products containing anti-blocking
agent, SASA's portfolio also includes film grade
chips containing Barium Sulphate (BaSO ) used in
4
opaque film production.
Cylindrical Chips
SASA also produces Sb-free products suitable for all
kinds of end-uses.
