The joint PRS India–UTECH 2025 edition brought together an exceptional mix of global material innovators, additives specialists, and recycling machinery leaders under one roof. The collaboration between the Plastic Recycling Show and UTECH created a powerful platform where polyurethane technology, plastic recycling advancements, and sustainable manufacturing converged.
Among the many exhibitors shaping conversations at the event, Zurechem Specialty Coatings, Holland Colors, and a leading 40-year-old recycling machinery manufacturer stood out for their distinct contributions to sustainability, materials innovation, and circular-economy transformation.
Zurechem Specialty Coatings: Advancing Release Agent Technology for Global Polyurethane Industries
Representing the company at the event, Engineer Mohammad Sal introduced Zurechem Specialty Coatings, a manufacturer specializing in release agent solutions. Based in Egypt, the company develops advanced release agents for polyurethane and rubber manufacturing industries across the world.
Mohammad highlighted their mission to continuously improve and innovate release agent formulations to meet the evolving needs of PU manufacturers. With an expanding global footprint, the company is now focusing on the Middle East and Asian markets, where demand for high-performance release agents is rising rapidly.
Their participation at the combined PRS–UTECH platform reflects a strategic interest in entering the Indian market, which Mohammad described as full of opportunities for collaboration, distribution, and technical partnerships. He expressed optimism about building strong relationships with Indian manufacturers and extending Zurechem export capabilities.
To the EQMint audience, he added a simple message: “Please follow and share EQMint.”
Holland Colors: Additive Innovation for High-Quality PET Recycling
Holland Colors, a global additives manufacturer, showcased its specialized solutions developed for the PET industry. Represented at the event by their team, the company highlighted a portfolio designed specifically for PET recyclers and PET processors.
Their additive range includes:
- Colors & toners
- IV (Intrinsic Viscosity) boosters
- Stabilizers for improving PET quality
- Solutions to reduce yellowing and maintain clarity
The company recently launched a stabilizer that delivers several refinements in recycled PET: improved IV retention, lower acetaldehyde formation, and noticeable reductions in the yellowish tint often seen in recycled materials. These enhancements allow recyclers to achieve higher-quality rPET suitable for more demanding applications.
When asked what sustainability means to them, the Holland Colors team emphasized contributing effectively to the circular economy—not just by selling additives, but by enabling recyclers to elevate the quality and usability of recycled PET.
They concluded with a message of appreciation to EQMint: “It’s great that you are here making companies like ours visible. Thank you.”
