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.

  Polimerica News: Proxital joins CARPI

  <p>C.A.R.P.I. is the Autonomous Consortium of Plastic Recycling Italy. Proxital continues its virtuous process towards achieving the EU objectives in terms of collection and recycling of plastic materials.</p><p>The CARPI consortium members are the real protagonists of the Circular Economy of plastic waste and are bearers of a completely opposite vision compared to the now abandoned “linear economy”. </p><p>By extending the life of polymers and modifying the life cycle of the plastic material, they favor the transition from disposable to use and recovery, minimizing and deferring the time of final disposal over time.</p><p>Proxital stands out on the international scene with its Refoam, the sustainable revolution in the world of plastic foams, 100% recyclable and regenerable.</p>

  Packaging Products

  <p>The expanded polyethylene films produced by Proxital are widely used in the packaging sector because they are able to combine the scratch-resistant characteristics of flexible plastic films with protection against crushing and impact thanks to the micro-bubbles of air that compress, absorbing the energy generated by the impact as they are distributed in a concentrated and uniform manner over the entire height. </p><p>Particularly in industrial mass production where objects produced are stacked, laid or placed close together in containers, foam is absolutely the most suitable product as a separator due to its unique characteristics. Scratch protection is guaranteed even with minimum thicknesses while, with regard to impact, the choice of thickness is a function of the mechanical stress the film exerts. The greater the impact force against the object, the greater the film thickness must therefore be.</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.

  Repubblica talks about REFOAM

  <p>Repubblica talks about the new REFOAM range, a new production technology that makes extensive use of regenerated raw materials, and sets a new standard in terms of resistance and slipperiness of foamed foams. The range also includes the innovative REFOAM 0.5, a worldwide innovation that in just half a millimeter of thickness can offer protection equal to double-thick foam. </p><p>In addition to technical innovation, this translates into economic savings because with the same volume you have twice the length. But also in real sustainability, because it halves the road transport needed to transfer the coils. Refoam is produced with a percentage of recycled material that can reach 100%.</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>
