Premix was founded 20 years ago by Mr Antti Kiikka as a spin-off from the paint company Teknos. From a modest start as a local producer of black and white masterbatches the company has grown into one of the main masterbatch players in Scandinavia, and developed into a major European supplier of electrically conductive compounds. In fact conductive compounds have become our major business line.
Nearly 20% of Premix personnel are involved in research and development functions. This creates 7% of sales. The company has skilled personnel and a well-equipped laboratory with equipment for testing of physical and rheological properties; analytical instruments such as, DS-caloriemeter, TG-analyzer and IR-spectrometer; units for film blowing, casting, extrusion coating and injection moulding; and a pilot compounding line and a pilot line for sheet extrusion.Premix is actively involved in many projects with universities and research institutes to complement our own development work. Through this valuable collaboration Premix always has the latest knowledge at hand.

PRE-ELEC ESD compounds have now also been evaluated by comparing their properties to the requirements of the German Foodstuffs and Consumer Goods Act. They meet BgVV’s requirements on cleanliness and can be used in direct contact with dry, moist or fatty foodstuff. This opens up totally new applications for example in the pharmaceutical industry and agriculture. |

Premix has recently extended its range of conductive compounds to cover also novel Inherently dissipative polymer compounds for use in clean room applications meeting the new ESD standards. The new PRE-ELEC ESD grades are washable, reusable, recyclable and colourable with surface resistance values permanently between 10e8 to 10e9 ohms. Since they do not contain carbon black, metals or antistatic additives, they are non-sloughing, low outgassing and low extractable plastics. The PRE-ELEC family of ESD compounds is currently available in PP, PE, ABS, PETG and PC/ABS. They can be processed with standard extrusion and injection moulding equipment. |

EMI gaskets are predominantly used in cellular phones and their base stations. Silicone based materials dominate the market today. While providing good material properties the silicone based gaskets have certain limitations and drawbacks especially in regard to mass production friendliness. The PRESEAL thermoplastic gaskets offer huge possibilities in simplifying gasket manufacturing and assembling. |

|
PREMIX OY has introduced a full line of conductive and static dissipative compounds based on copolymer polyacetal. These compounds offer the excellent chemical resistance, toughness and low coefficient of friction of polyacetal while providing ESD protection. The new compounds are colorable and available with or without glass-fiber reinforcement. |

Premix has developed two new economical dissipative grades PRE-ELEC PP 1395 and PRE-ELEC PE 1295 for pallets, boxes and crates. PRE-ELEC PP 1395 and PRE-ELEC PE 1295 have controlled and permanent surface resistance values between 105 and 109 ohms. Both grades have high rigidity, excellent impact strength even in cold conditions, and are easy to process. These grades have been developed to meet new standards in ATEX environment, automotive and electronics industries. |

Premix launches PRE-ELEC PP 1396 and PRE-ELEC ESD 5400 for PP tape used in woven fabrics. PRE-ELEC PP 1396 and PRE-ELEC ESD 5400 are easy to process and have good electrical and mechanical properties after stretching. These grades together with our existing ones are suitable for both mono- and co-extrusion. |

Premix Oy has released new PRESEAL Thermoplastic Elastomers for EMI shielding applications. These innovative products PRESEAL TPE 5020 and PRESEAL TPE 6080 have significantly improved mechanical and electrical properties. The new PRESEAL elastomers have also a further enhanced adhesion to even Polyamides and Polycarbonates and with no primer to Aluminium and Stainless Steel. Fewer process steps and faster cycle times leads to cost savings. These next generation raw materials are injection mouldable and extrudable by using conventional thermoplastic machinery. |
