BOPP products. Granic will allow the BOPP producers and the end users to reduce the amount of PP in the films, and also to reach a substantial use reduction of TiO2 pigment (depending on the targeted opacity and density).

Two different samples area available at our Stand: two different formulations and different densities. These samples have been made at the most know BOPP’s machinery manufacturer: Brückner.

Granic has been listed as an “IN USE” grade in the Brückner raw material product list.

KIVO – GCR group collaboration: Recycled based products delivering virgin performance.

We are bringing into the market a soil bag made of 80% EuCertPlast certified PCR. In a joint effort, KIVO and CICLIC have designed a recycled-based solution for the 60 microns soil bags market.

Despite adding Ciclic at 80% in the 3-layer film, it is still possible to maintain the demanding mechanical and sealing properties required to withstand a 20 Liter bag. Furthermore, due to the low carbon footprint of the raw material, we achieve an 88 % savings of CO2 emissions.

Heat stable PET foamed cup. SML, Kiefel, GRANIC and Promix, joined forces to developed a new type of Hot Fill Cups. They are made from 3-layer PET sheets, where the center layer is physically foamed while the outside layers remain rigid. Granic has been used as a nucleating agent delivering an optimum performance of cell size and thermal properties. The final density of the cup is 0,65g/cm3. Come to our stand and have a coffee using our innovative cup.

Non woven. Granic is already used at important loading rates for demanding applications such as woven non woven. At the K fair we will be showcasing a 15gsm spunbound fabric at 14% Granic. The fabric has been made using a Reicofill 4S at the STFI, Germany. Important benefits are achieved through this innovative solution apart from important cost saving for producers and converters.
