CREATING NEW, SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL SOLUTIONS

Our material innovation journey is about creating new solutions that increase your efficiency, while supporting sustainable practices. One example is how we deal with waste silicone, a primary waste material in elastomer production. Rather than disposing of this excess, we partner with third-party companies to repurpose it. The waste silicone is ground into a fine powder, which then becomes a valuable raw ingredient for creating new products. This process not only reduces waste; it also contributes to a circular economy. Below are some further examples of new material innovations and how we drive sustainable practices.

Carbon Black from Recycled Tires: A Step Towards Circular Economy

Our commitment to using sustainable materials extends to incorporating carbon black recovered from waste tires. By repurposing waste from other industries, we not only reduce environmental impact but also enhance the quality and durability of our products.

Renewable Cellulose Fillers: Pioneering with Research

In collaboration with a Swiss-based research institute, we’ve embarked on a groundbreaking project to develop microfibrillated cellulose (m-MFC). This innovative filler, a sustainable alternative to conventional materials like aramid fibers, significantly enhances the reinforcement of elastomer compounds.

Advancing Safety with Fire-Resistant Compounds

Our fire-resistant compounds are designed with your safety in mind. Exhibiting self-extinguishing properties, these materials are crucial for fire safety in critical applications. We offer a range of materials that meet the UL94 specification’s horizontal burn (HB) and vertical burn (VB) tests, ensuring enhanced protection.

Immersion Cooling: Revolutionizing Thermal Management

In the realm of thermal management for electrical components, immersion cooling is an emerging technology we’re excited about. It involves fully immersing electronic components in a dielectric fluid, demanding reliable and leak-free sealing solutions. While still in its early stages, immersion cooling promises reduced system complexity, weight reduction, and improved temperature stability. Selecting the right cooling fluid and sealing solution is critical, considering factors like electrical insulation, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and safety.
