Distrupol highlights new materials and new opportunities for its customers at Scanplast 2006
Distrupol will use its participation at Scanplast 2006, Stand CO3:22, to introduce the new Sabic® PP CPC Clearpact, a high transparency, high impact packaging material. Other innovations are the launch of a web-based training programme for customers, as well as Distrupol’s PIC (Product Information Centre). PIC provides specifiers with a database of the more than 3000 polymer grades. By allowing users to compare thse in the same format, side by side, on-screen – choosing the right material for an application was never easier.
Distrupol’s presentation will also reflect the breadth of its portfolio of material solutions. These include Exxon’s LDPEs and HDPEs, the Sabic range of PPs, Lucite International’s acrylics, Toray ABS, Nova Innovene PS, DSM Elastomers TPV, the ABS/ASA/SAN family of LG Chemicals, as well as the full range of engineering polymers from DuPont.
“Scanplast is the single most important plastics event for the Nordic region,” says Petri Karhu, Managing Director, Distrupol Nordic AB. “Because the show’s visitors make up a ‘who’s who’ of the polymer industry in the region, it provides a major opportunity to bring new products and services directly to their collective attention.
“Overall our presentation at the show will demonstrate the highly positive outlook we have on the future. This has been encouraged by outstanding business growth during 2005, the width of our product basket and the increasing opportunities we see for our customers in the Nordic markets and in the Baltic countries,” Karhu concludes.
