Tecnologia

For Proxital, constant investment in production and research technologies has always been a hallmark of the company. The creation and patenting of new materials passes from a deep knowledge of processes and machinery, through proprietary solutions that allow to arrive at innovative results for wide applications.

Proxital's know-how has also always been appreciated by machinery manufacturers who have always supported and supported Proxital for the development of high-performance and advanced technologies, which are constantly improving. This commitment then translates into the creation of the most innovative, light, resistant, hi-tech products on the market.

  Physical Foam at its best

  <p>Since 1998 Proxital has been producing Physical Foam of quality, completely regenerable and recyclable indefinitely.But this does not mean having a standard product, on the contrary, Proxital research has made important steps forward, bringing innovation to the sector, with state-of-the-art patented formulas and technologies.</p><p>To meet the demands of the various production and industrial sectors and the suggestions of transformers, over the years we have developed a complete and transversal range. Here are our four spearheads of the ReFoam range in Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene (PE):</p><p></p><p>PROXIL® is the ecological and thermoformable Polypropylene (PP): MORE »</p><p></p><p>XTRACELL is the revolutionary packaging material that doesn’t fear blows: MORE »</p><p></p><p>TERILEX is the high-performance soundproofing material for construction: MORE »</p><p></p><p>ZEROVIRGOLACINQUE è la rivoluzione sostenibile, prestazioni incredibili in soli 0,5 mm: MORE »</p>

  University Research

  <p>In its research and development processes, Proxital has always relied on technical experts and research institutes, for the creation of real product and process innovation.</p><p>Proxital has entered into a research contract with the industrial engineering department of Padua University to certify the recyclability of non-crosslinked polyethylene foam in post-consumer processes. </p><p>The raw materials used for the various tests are regenerated LDPE polyethylene, the regenerated LDPE + HDPE mix and the polyolefin mix.These materials were scientifically characterised via spectrophotometry, thermogravimetry analysis, calorimetric and mechanical analysis and with the melt flow index. </p><p>Mixes were then produced with different percentage blends of the various materials, then the extrusion and resistance tests were carried out. Proxital treasures this type of research, in order to launch ever new, better-performing products, which are perfectly sustainable and 100% recyclable and regenerable.</p>

Condivisione

The best ideas are those that are then realized. This philosophy has characterized Proxital since its foundation, creating innovation shared with its customers. Proxital's R&D division developed the new materials from the requests and questions of the customers, which were then created. The dialogue is continuous and the search for solutions is a constant. Thanks to our Customers we have always found new stimuli and new challenges to overcome, each time overcoming the technical limit of the material or machinery, developing new solutions that have allowed its realization. The philosophy of continuous improvement finds in our Customers the perfect stimulus, to truly innovate together.

  Changing terms of obligations

  <p>With the new Law Decree n. 228 of 12/30/2021 change the terms of the obligation of Environmental Labeling of packaging.This D.L. to art. 11 provides for the suspension of the obligation until 30 June 2022 and also allows the marketing of products without the new requirements already placed on the market or already labeled, postponing the exhaustion of stocks of non-compliant packaging to 1 July 2022.</p><p>By 30/01/2022 the Ministry of Ecological Transition will publish the technical guidelines for labeling and following these, any adjustments will be made.</p><p>PROXITAL has already fulfilled its obligations as a manufacturer, labeling all packaging with the wording required by law. To help our customers we have created the LABELING section on our website, where you can easily find answers, tables and indications to transfer the correct information on the nature of the material to your recipients, by affixing physical labels or other digital systems, such as qrcode, apps, websites.</p>

  Protection for fragile

  <p>Rina Menardi is a well known brand in the ceramic art and furnishings sector. The collections are a perfect fusion of art, design and craftsmanship, where aesthetics and functionality meet in unique creations.</p><p>To protect these precious artifacts, a material is needed that can effectively compensate and cancel the inevitable micro-bumps in packaging and shipping processes.</p><p>After a careful evaluation of the relationship between flexibility and strength, the choice fell on a customized density polyethylene with film, capable of responding with adequate physical and mechanical characteristics. The always active collaboration will soon lead to testing also new materials and solutions, alternatives to the traditionally used materials.</p>

Sostenibilità

Since 1998 we have made a precise choice: to adopt a production system of sustainable, recyclable, infinitely regenerable plastic. For this reason we use expansion technologies that do not chemically alter the raw materials used. This allows the total regenerability of each single product at the end of each use cycle.

Even the processing scraps of expanded plastics are totally regenerable, bringing the carbon footprint of these products to almost zero.

In this precise context, Proxital offers a personalized service based on the needs of the individual customer and the individual process, always with an eye to sustainability.

  10 grams of sustainable lightness: Refoam 0.5.

  <p>For Proxital, being green is much more than a declaration of intent: it is one of the pillars that gave life to the company, pursuing sustainability as a modus operandi of the entire production.</p><p>Today Proxital presents a unique innovation in the world, the Refoam 0.5, an innovative foam material that can offer a square meter of protection using only 10 grams of plastic.</p><p>The performances in terms of resistance and slipperiness are equal to those of foam with double thickness, but thanks to Refoam 0,5 the coils have a double length with the same volume. This means a reduction in road traffic and the use of resources, while at the same time guaranteeing important economic savings for the packaging of goods. Refoam® is made from up to 100% recycled material.</p>

  Il Sole 24 ore talks about Proxital

  <p>The Sole 24 ore magazine talks about Proxital among the companies active in the defense of health and the environment.</p><p>Not all plastics are the same. Since its foundation, Proxital has been producing only sustainable materials, but it is particularly important and urgent to scientifically demonstrate their degree of environmental compatibility and communicate it to the outside world, refuting the mistaken beliefs of the market and the final consumer. </p><p>Thanks to the support and advice of Assindustria, we are working on the creation of a validated model for the calculation of the Carbon Footprint of foamed plastics. Proxitalproduces closed-cell Foam, 100% recyclable and regenerable and is actively contributing to the development of a uniform, functional and valid calculator for the purposes of theISO 14067 standard to quantify CO2 emissions for the production of plastic foams. </p><p>The market needs clarity and certain references, also in the light of the new ESG Sustainability Report requests from various institutional and banking entities. Proxital has recently introduced REFOAM, a new production technology that has affected the entire range for the extensive use of regenerated raw materials.</p>
