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.

  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>

  Refoam: la Rivoluzione Sostenibile

  <p>Proxital presenta Refoam, la scelta di cambiamento sostenibile della nostra produzione. Refoam ha prestazioni senza compromessi, la nuova composizione del materiale ha caratteristiche tecniche superiori, come la resistenza e la scivolosità, che concretamente ne migliorano la lavorabilità.</p><p>Refoam è la risposta di Proxital alle nuove direttive europee sulla riciclabilità dei rifiuti, recepite dal DL 3/9/20 n.116 in vigore dal 26/9/2020. Refoam è prodotto con una percentuale di mate­riale riciclato che può arrivare anche al 100%, con l’obiettivo di minimizzare o annullare l’incidenza della prossima Plastic Tax in arrivo nel 2022.</p><p>Refoam ha una gamma completa di prodotti che partono dall’innovativo 0,5 mm, leggero e resistente come la seta.</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.

  Foam is versatile and lends itself to endless applications

  <p>In the field of electronics for example, the use of foam as a packaging material proves invaluable because in addition to being an environmentally friendly, totally recyclable and regenerable material, it also provides complete protection from impacts and scratches. </p><p>For impact protection, depending on the weight of the object to be packed, you can choose from a wide range of polyethylene sheets with thicknesses from 20 to 70 mm. For more delicate parts, on the other hand, polyethylene sheets up to a maximum of 2 mm are recommended to avoid scratches or damage to the object’s materials themselves.</p><p>Proxital is constantly dedicated to the development of customer-friendly products, always striving for the highest quality and recommending the most suitable product to meet every need.</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.

  La plastica sostenibile: gli espansi

  Da sempre Proxital pone al centro delle proprie azioni la Sostenibilità e la Condivisione. Con tale scopo, vogliamo condividere il primo dei tre elaborati a sostegno della plastica sostenibile, gli Espansi. L’intento è quello di esporre i vantaggi degli espansi in termini di sostenibilità, nella loro produzione, nel loro utilizzo e nel loro riutilizzo.<p>Clicca qui sotto per scaricare il PDF:</p> &quot;LA PLASTICA SOSTENIBILE&quot; <p>Continua a seguirci, nelle prossime settimane condivideremo altre due pubblicazioni che tratteranno i seguenti argomenti:</p> Plastica espansa VS Altri materiali I vantaggi di Refoam

  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>
