These materials are the origin of our particle foam solutions

Our expertise lies in the processing of innovative particle foams that impress with their thermoplastic properties and enormous lightweight construction potential. Whether EPP (expanded polypropylene), EPS (expanded polystyrene), ETPU (expanded thermoplastic polyurethane), EPA (expanded polyamide) or EPPE (expanded polyphenyl ether) – we rely on high-performance, sustainable particle foams with a wide range of possible applications.

These closed-cell foams consist of 95% air and combine a low density of 15 to 400 g/l with outstanding mechanical stability and high thermal insulation properties. Whether as a material for lightweight construction or as a high-performance solution, the thermoplastic granules we use are the basis for your pioneering products.

What sets us apart

Material Verarbeitung | Schalldaemmung

Our strength lies not only in selecting the right materials such as EPP or other thermoplastic foams, but also in developing customized tool and processing technologies. Even when it comes to high-performance materials that cannot be processed on conventional systems, we impress with innovative solutions and comprehensive process expertise.

The particle foams we use are impressive in terms of sustainability

Our lightweight materials are sustainable – especially when used in your products. This is because they enable a considerable increase in efficiency. With functional integration and a reduction in purchased parts, particle foam components make a significant contribution to conserving resources and increasing the sustainability of your products.
