SIPOL® SpA, founded in 1998, is a specialist in the polymerisation of high-performance polymers. The privately owned company is part of the Tecnogi Group and has a high degree of flexibility and innovativeness. The core competence of SIPOL® is the development and production of thermoplastic ether-ester elastomers (TPC-ET), hot-melt adhesives based on copolyesters and copolyamides for technical applications, as well as biodegradable copolyesters. Five polymerisation lines with a capacity of 12,000 tonnes/year are available on the 40,000 m² company site near Milan, with a sixth line due to start up in 2022. Operating under the brand name SIPOLPRENE®, SIPOL® produces thermoplastic copolyester elastomers in the hardness range of Shore D 25 - 77, which combine flexibility with high temperature and chemical resistance. The products have a high mechanical level and are used in all technically demanding areas. TECHNIPOL® and TECHNIPOL®PA are hot-melt adhesives based on copolyester and copolyamide for technical applications such as filters (paper coating) or the E&E sector. Biodegradable copolyesters have been developed under the Technipol® BIO brand, some of which have already been certified by TÜV Austria.

high tensile strength for demoulding of complex geometries - adaptable flow properties - short cycle times - high flexibility

very good adhesion to EPDM - very high composite tensile strength - hardness from 35 to 80 Shore A - adaptable flow properties - lubricated grades available

adhesion to all typical electroplating hard components (PC/ABS, ABS, …) - useable with standard electroplating baths - different colours and translucent material available - hardnesses from 40 to 85 Shore A

materials for technical parts - gaskets

KEYFLEX-BT resins are polyester type thermoplastic elastomers produced by polymerization and compounding technology. They display flexibility of rubber and processability of thermoplastics. In addition, they offer very good thermal stability, chemical resistance and weather resistance. So, they can be available in field such as automotive, electrical and electronics, industrial parts and sport goods.

HEXPOL TPE is a globally operating group specialising in the development and compounding of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). Decades of experience ensure that customers are always provided with reliable, suitable and cost-effective TPE compounds in addition to responsive support, technical expertise and application know-how. With locations in Europe, Asia and North America, HEXPOL TPE has a global network. The Group's head office is in Sweden, and the TPE compounds are developed and produced in Germany, the UK, China, the USA and Sweden. With TPEs based on TPS, TPO, TPU, TPV, soft PVC and bio-based technology, Hexpol TPE has one of the most comprehensive portfolios in the industry. The brand names Lifoflex, Dryflex, Lifoprene, Lifocork and Lifolit are compounded according to customer requirements. The compounds lend value, functionality and a soft-touch feel to a growing number of applications in areas such as consumer goods, the medical sector, the packaging industry, the automotive sector, the electronics industry and the construction industry.

4KFLEX® is a brand of the KORRELS group. KORRELS has gained a great reputation by taking on the most diverse challenges in the field of plastic materials. With a lot of knowledge, translated into smart material solutions, a strong reputation was built. Resulting in customer-specific solutions, but the versatile portfolio also includes many standard compounds. We produce TPE SBS/SEBS TPV TPO compounds on request, i.e. customer-specific.

Since the foundation of SKZ in 1961, our mission has been the further education of engineers and specialists in the plastics industry. We welcome over 13,000 participants annually at our 6 training locations in Germany, and many more at in-house training courses worldwide. A genuine practical component in the courses is a key quality feature for effective continuing education. The SKZ therefore operates its own technical centres at all of its training locations.

Leading provider of on-site thermoset training, combining theory and practical experience directly at the machine. We also offer on-site production support, getting your processes up and running, optimizing them, and training your team on the machines. Perfect for production relocations or series launches. Benefit from Ingo Schwarz's over 50 years of thermoset experience and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sascha Englich's extensive expertise in plastics engineering. One- or two-day training courses for production staff, designers, quality control, and other departments. From the fundamentals of materials science to processing technologies, equipment, and the intricacies of individual topics. Training can be conducted in German, English, or Spanish. With on-site production support, we act as an extension of your team, assisting you directly in production where problems arise. This includes - troubleshooting and problem solving, - process setup and optimization - employee training. We have a special focus on reactive materials (thermosets) and high-performance thermoplastics.
