WIPs Italy Annual Assembley 2024 Women in Plastics Italy (WIP-IT) is a newly formed association established by women professionals in the plastics industry, with a mission to elevate female talent and spread the values of inclusivity and sustainability throughout the sector. After a year of informal activities setting the groundwork, WIP-IT is now formally constituted, […]

...and winding type plays an important role. The process of gas substitution with air in closed cell foam with liquefied hydrocarbon gases (degassing process) is one of the most important processes, which is at the same time a "bottleneck" in the foam polymers productions. The degassing time of the foamed polymer directly affects both the […]

The production of foamed polymers to a completely different level FAP is a dynamic second-generation family-run company with over 37 years of international experience in the design and construction of foam machinery and R&D activity to create for our customers something truly valuable and capable of raising the production of foamed polymers to a completely different […]

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. […]

4 years ago, we bid farewell to Luigi Poli, the visionary founder of FAP He was always passionate about his Foam Machines, cared for and controlled down to the last detail. He was always present with customers during the Start-up of his foam lines because he considered them as his own children whom he accompanied […]

The use of foamed polymers is extremely versatile, but the main thing is that all necessary technical requirements are met, specially in construction industry and as a striking example is a reflective insulation. Manufacturers of foamed polymers need to create materials that educate the final user, do not mislead him when choosing products for construction […]

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 […]
