| For the
end-user, the advantages of using Innovo Chemicals'
contract blending and packaging operation, particularly
when multi-item blends packaged in pre-weighed sachets
are considered, can be summarised as follows:
Improved Health & Safety
Cost Savings
Improved Traceability
Lower Risk of Contamination of Finished Products
Health & Safety
Problems associated with airborne dust, i.e. skin
sensitisation, respiratory problems and a dusty
working environment, are eliminated.
Cost Savings
Capital expenditure on dust extraction and weighing
equipment is reduced or eliminated. Manufacturing
costs are reduced due to fewer weighing operations
and lower waste disposal costs for contaminated
packaging.
Improved Traceability
Sachets can be easily identified with a unique
bar code or part number. The reduction in the
number of additive additions ensures fewer errors
and less administration.
Lower Risk of Contamination
The elimination of airborne dust in the factory
ensures that no cross-contamination takes place
by this route.

to handle the majority of powdered raw materials
and additives used by the thermoplastics, elastomer,
