The technical guide that explains how foam quality is really created – and why not all twin-screw systems are the same. In physical-expansion foam extrusion, mixing is the most decisive variable in the entire process. It is not a detail: it is the point where final foam material quality, process stability and the overall sustainability […]

In a world that changes every day, staying still is not an option. That’s why at FAP, we’ve chosen to grow – together. Growth, for us, is not a destination. It’s a daily choice.It’s what pushes us to ask better questions, embrace new challenges, and become better - as people, as professionals, and as a […]

Advantages and its areas of application Physically foamed polypropylene or polypropylene foam (further on EPP) is an excellent material for civil engineering, automotive and food industries. EPP is a much more “crystalline” material compared to the more amorphous low-density polyethylene foam (LDPE foam), allowing this material to replace a large number of rigid foams on […]

FAP’s Driving Force. Innovation and Research are the daily engine behind how we think, design, and evolve. Innovation as Purposeful Progress We believe that innovation only has value when it generates Real Impact. Our Research and Development is driven by a clear goal: to make our Machines Smarter, more Efficient, and Ready to face the […]

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 […]

The Value That Powers Every FAP Machine At FAP, when you walk through our doors, you don’t just find machines - you find people working together. Engineers and technicians, sales teams, suppliers, and clients, partners. Because collaboration isn’t just a phase in our workflow - it is our workflow. In a world of manufacturing, true […]

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 […]

May has already arrived, which means we are here to tell you about our fifth core value: Reliability. You can’t fake reliability. It’s not about promises - it’s about showing up, doing the work, and doing it well, over and over again. Reliability is a commitment we prove daily. It’s in every project delivered on time, […]

Let's figure it out together. How to Produce Low-Density Physically Foamed Polyethylene Foam (EPE): Myths, Limits, and Real Solutions Reduce Raw Material Costs Without Compromising Foam Quality In today’s highly competitive foam polymer market, manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to reduce production costs. One of the most common strategies is to reduce the density of […]

April has already arrived, which means we are here to tell you about our fourth core value: Efficiency - is not just a matter of speed - it is a conscious choice, a way of thinking and acting that defines HOW WE WORK at FAP. In the world of industrial machinery, where every second counts, […]
