New Cost-Effective Extrusion Process for PP Foam
New Cost-Effective Extrusion Process for PP Foam
Sulzer Chemtech, in partnership with raw material supplier Borealis, has developed a new extrusion process for expanded polypropylene beads
Sulzer Chemtech, based in Switzerland, together with raw material supplier Borealis, based in Austria, have developed a new cost-effective extrusion process for expanded polypropylene (ePP) beads. The new process is expected to lower manufacturing costs by up to 60% while increasing efficiency across the value chain. Sulzer Chemtech’s new innovative compounding production line uses extrusion with direct gas impregnation to easily and cost-effectively produce ePP.
This new compounding line will reduce the costs associated with material supply, storage, and transportation as well as allow manufacturers the ability to fine-tune the properties of the ePP to match their needs. Sulzer Chemtech and Borealis are also working on a carbon dioxide alternative to meet additional customer needs.
