At FAP, we understand that the extrusion of gas-filled polymers is a critical process requiring precision and the right equipment. However, the lamination of physically foamed materials is equally important. This process involves bonding foamed polymers either to themselves (to increase thickness) or to other materials like reflective foil, PET, and HDPE, enhancing the final […]

How much does it cost to produce an item? To find it out, we have to consider: administrative costs; production costs; warehouse costs. In this article, we will consider production costs, specifically those costs necessary to produce final products from expanded polyethylene (EPE) and polypropylene (EPP) foam. The relevant factors to consider are: 1. Raw […]
One of our clients from the Central Asian region approached us with a request to provide technological and technical assistance in the implementation of a one project. Due to the annual increase in logistics costs, the company was no longer able to purchase high-quality foil and metallized BOPP film from the European Union. Since the […]
In a manufacturing company's production process, a "bottleneck" is a limitation that lengthens production time and delays deliveries to customers. It can significantly increase operating costs and decrease profits. It can be identified at any stage of the process: from planning to product production, storage and shipping. Why is it necessary to reduce (or eliminate) […]
Quality Control & Foam Production or How product quality control affects the reduction of costs for rework and defects in the production of polyethylene and polypropylene foam. The amount of “saved” profit of the company directly depends on an effectively built quality control system and technological processes in the production of foamed polyethylene and polypropylene. […]

Why is it so important to choose the correct GMS dosing during the foaming/expansion process to produce high quality PE (polyethylene) or PP (polypropylene) foam material? Simply because GMS, being an emulsifier and one of the most significant components, has a huge influence on many factors. Let’s examine the following three main factors that help […]
