The thermoplastic granules, which consist of 95 % air, impress with their low density (15 to 400 g\/l), high mechanical strength and excellent thermal insulation properties. They therefore offer enormous potential for lightweight construction.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]The granules are made either in a reactor (suspension polymerization) or on an extrusion line with gas loading and underwater granulation to generate beads that are as spherical as possible. Either way, we use granulates that are perfectly tailored to your specific requirements. Our material expertise creates solutions that are both technically and economically convincing. It forms the basis for sustainable and innovative products in a wide range of industries.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]\n

Innovation through material modification and new development<\/h2>\n

The development of new materials begins with knowledge of their limits. Only when we understand these can we select the right material based on specific applications. But what if the requirements go beyond the known material properties? In such cases, innovative solutions are required. Through material refinement and close cooperation with our network partners<\/a>, we offer numerous approaches for the further development of materials.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]\n

The right choice of material for optimum product solutions<\/h3>\n

A crucial factor for a product’s success is selecting the right material. It must not only meet the specific requirements of the final product, but also comply with regulatory standards. At RUCH NOVAPLAST, precise material selection is at the core of our work. Thanks to years of intensive research and comprehensive material characterization, we are able to compare the various materials<\/a> based on their properties and find the best solution for each individual project. This process is further enhanced by the extensive expertise of our specialists, whose experience plays a key role in material selection and ensures you receive well-founded, expert consultation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″ offset=”vc_col-lg-1 vc_col-md-1 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n
