Collaboration with Italy's API Trinseo / Development of durable rigid and flexible material combinations
To supply customers from the spectacles industry with durable rigid/flexible combinations, polyamide specialist Ems-Grivory (Domat / Switzerland; www.emsgrivory.com) has teamed up with TPE compounder Applicazioni Plastiche Industriali (API, Mussolente / Italy; www.apiplastic.com) to provide suitably coordinated material combinations. API was acquired by Trinseo (Berwyn, Pennsylvania / USA; www.trinseo.com) in mid-2017 – see Plasteurope.com of 13.07.2017.
The first step for the partnership will involve identifying material combinations from the companies' existing portfolios before going on to jointly develop specially-tailored materials. In addition to standard petroleum-based materials, bio-based thermoplastics and elastomers are also on the cards.
