TERRA E SPAZI ABITABILI PIÙ VIVIBILI, GRAZIE AL DIAPER CHAMP CON GUARNIZIONI IN ELASTOMERO ARNITEL® DI DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS
Per il suo Diaper Champ, un innovativo ed inodore contenitore igienico recentemente rivisto, Garland BV (Amsterdam, Paesi Bassi) si serve di guarnizioni con elastomero termoplastico copoliestere Arnitel® di DSM Engineering Plastics. Grazie anche all’azione di ritorno del pistone, che si verifica durante lo smaltimento, le guarnizioni evitano l’emanazione dei cattivi odori dal Diaper Champ all’ambiente circostante. Arnitel offre una flessibilità che dura nel tempo unita ad attrito ridotto ed elevata resistenza all’abrasione, così da garantire il buono stato delle guarnizioni per tutta la durata di vita del contenitore. Il Diaper Champ è presente a livello mondiale e costituisce un importante elemento nella tendenza, sempre più diffusa, al riciclaggio dei materiali riutilizzabili presenti in pannolini per bambini e pannoloni per adulti.
