Produce more PS pots from the same weight with blowing agents

Produce more PS pots from the same weight with blowing agentsAs a polymer converter involved in everyday consumer containers such as drinking cups and food pots, you must face important challenges such as:

  • Offering weight saving solutions to packers
  • Reducing the impact of packaging on the environment
  • Exceeding end-user’s satisfaction
  • The Cup2Go® product from the converter RPC meets these challenges thanks to a combination of Blowing Agents from Adeka Palmarole and PS grades provided by Total Petrochemicals.

    Do you have the need for weight and cost savings? Request for technical assistance

    Indeed, Adeka Palmarole’s chemical Blowing Agents create a foamed polymer matrix, allowing the use of less material to produce a lighter Polystyrene pot of similar volume. These additives help you to optimize yield and cost, while providing consumers with an environmentally-friendly packaging.

    Up to 20% weight saving in yoghurt pots thanks to Blowing Agents and impact grades In order to develop the Cup2Go®, the work consists in optimizing the overall density of the structure without becoming thicker. A judicial choice of the type and concentration of the Blowing Agent, coupled with the use of impact PS grades (PS / light PS / compact PS structure), allows a density drop from 1.05 to around 0.85. In terms of weight saving, 10 to 20% lighter yoghurt pots are produced.

    Save thousand of Euros thanks to less eco-taxes Bearing in mind that the Green Dot contribution can exceed €1.5/kg in a country like Germany, the saving soon adds up to thousands of Euros for mass production. Above all, this allows converters to work towards sustainable development by offering solutions which reduce the impact of packaging on the environment.

    A highly technical cup! Cups for away-from-home distribution need to fulfil some key requirements such as: light weight and thermal insulation. The Cup2Go® is easy to grip as the consumer picks up his hot drink from the drinks dispenser. Moreover, it keeps the drink hot as long as possible.
