Improved Color Distribution and Cost Savings for Injection Molding

Improve Efficiency, Productivity and Flexibility of BOPP Film Production (Solution Case Study)

Brückner’s BOPP lines achieve outputs above 6 000 kilos per hour, reducing investment costs per kg/lb. These extrusion lines help BOPP film producers achieve high uptime and raw material efficiency while delivering superior film quality with low energy consumption.

Significant Cost savings for Rapid Manufacturing and Prototyping with the SLS nylon powder: Innov’PA (Solution Case Study)

The high quality nylon powder Innov´PA allows significant cost savings whatever the laser sintering machine is used.

New generation of nylon powder for Selective Laser Sintering: case study of an air distributor prototype (Solution Case Study)

New nylon powder that allow a higher surface aspect and provides plastic mimics to the prototype

Optimize cost thanks to food contact approved Blowing Agents (Solution Case Study)

A new generation of Blowing Agents specifically designed for the manufacture of food contact packaging allow cost optimization in many ways.

Produce lighter and cost-effective Food Packaging with Environmentally-friendly Blowing Agents (Solution Case Study)

Chemical Blowing Agents help reduce cost and weight in food packaging based on PP, PS and PET by producing a foamed structure in the polymer.

High performance powder for brake fluid tank prototype using Selective Laser Sintering Technology (Solution Case Study)

Mecaplast switched to Innov'PA powder for their Selective Laser Sintering production

Glass replacement by polycarbonate allows weight saving and design flexibility in automotive headlamps. (Solution Case Study)

Fuel consumption reduction push automotive manufacturers to develop lighter and more compact systems driving the replacement of traditional materials such as metal or glass by thermoplastic materials

Glass replacement material for returnable bottles allows weight saving and easier handling (Solution Case Study)

Consumers particularly value the low weight, transparency, fracture-resistance and handy square-shape of the bottle. The environment ultimately benefits too, since Makrolon® bottles can be filled more than 50 times in the returnable system

High Heat and Transparent Material for New Generation Headlamps and Bezels (Solution Case Study)

The heat resistance of Apec is above that of standard Makrolon® and extends up to 220°C (Vicat B). These special products display a considerably improved flowability compared with standard grades, for no significant change in mechanical properties

High Heat, Transparent and Biocompatible Material Suitable for Hot Steam Sterilisation in Autoclaves (at 134°C) (Solution Case Study)

The transparent reusable filter has to be cleaned and sterilised after use. One of the key advantages is that Apec® is suitable for hot steam sterilisation in autoclaves at 134 °C, which is the preferred form of rapid sterilisation. Gamma ray and hot air sterilisation are also feasible with Apec®.

High Level of Safety and Reliability in Incubators are Achieve Thanks to Transparent Materials with High Heat Resistance, Dimensional Stability, Toughness and Rigidity (Solution Case Study)

In medical equipments such as incubators, high level of safety and reliability in order to avoid risks is a decisive criterion in the selection of a plastic.

Material with Excellent Flow, Superior Stiffness and High Impact Resistance for Glass Replacement in Electronic Housings (Solution Case Study)

In order to improve product reliability, many office equipment manufacturer try to develop new products with simpler design and with a reduced number of parts. This generally leads to more sophisticated parts and systems usually difficult or costly to acheive with traditional materials such as metal.
