Neopolen® P Designed for New Ideas.

#W Our product for your vision. Neopolen® P is a polypropylene foam (EPP). Its expanded beads are predominantly closed-cell. It is supplied to molders in the form of loose beads for processing into a wide variety of foam parts on automated processing equipment. A molded density between 20 and 120 kg/m3 can be obtained with the standard product range. The foam beads are manufactured and processed in an eco-friendly manner without FCHCs.

Applications The many properties of Neopolen P make it a versatile engineering material suitable for a wide range of applications. The main selection criteria are energy absorption, low weight and high thermal stability. The key applications are: ■ Automotive construction ■ Dunnage trays ■ Packaging and transport containers ■ Heating, ventilation and sanitary applications ■ Fireproong ■ Furniture, sport and leisure Distribution and production centers BASF has production sites in Ludwigshafen and Schwarzheide, Germany. The company’s global distribution organization supplies products to customers...

With Neopolen® P dunnage trays, you can pile it on Dunnage tray system, photo: Ruch Novaplast The innovative and extremely robust packaging system is individually customized to the series component to be transported and provides safe protection against mechanical damage and weather conditions throughout the entire storage and transport process – usually throughout an enitre series cycle. Components can be precisely positioned in Neopolen® P dunnage trays so that they can even be removed by robot systems. Compared to other foam materials, Neopolen P is especially suitable for reusable packaging...

Neopolen® P in furniture, sport and leisure Luscious red, deep blue or bright yellow – the color variety of Neopolen P offers a wide range of application options in the toy and leisure sector in particular. Leisure products made from Neopolen P are both light and highly resilient. Articial turf provided with a sublayer of Neopolen P is weather-resistant, gentle on the players’ joints and sturdy. Instead of sand and rubber granules, Neopolen P is employed as a foam substrate. This means that, with this turf, warping and holes are a thing of the past. Neopolen P in the arti cial turf system from...

Neopolen® P is multifunctional in ventilation and sanitary applications Ecoscience buffer store, photo: Fueltech Sweden AB less heat is lost, effectiveness is increased. This reduces consumption, saves resources and is kind to our environment. The intelligent use of Neopolen® P even in the construction phase of a system can save signicant production costs. Because the extremely stable and tough-elastic foam parts can accept components such as control boards, ventilators and lter units, which are not screwed into but merely inserted into the Neopolen P housing, the number of individual system...
