New Coperion extruder in Repol
30/09/2021
At Repol, we continue to work day by day to offer flexible and fast solutions, and we invest in improvements that enable us to adapt to the new challenges of this time. By renewing and improving our plants and equipment, we are constantly striving to improve ourselves as a #compounder of engineering plastics.
In August 2021, a new Coperion ZSK 58 Mc18 extruder was installed, which is specially designed for processing flame-retardant, impact-modified and colored thermoplastics. In addition to improving the production of these materials, the installation of the new extruder also increases our production capacity and improves the final quality of the product through greater process stability. Its software is adapted to Industry 4.0, which means that we can monitor the entire production process in real time and control recipes and OEE.
All performance tests were carried out successfully in September 21.

REPOL PARTICIPATES IN THE RECIPAM PROJECT
07/01/2021
Repol participates in the RECIPAM project, a project that focuses on recycling polyamides (PA) from multi-layer food packaging waste.
Its aim is to promote the circular economy in the plastic packaging sector. By improving waste management and processing, increasing recycling rates in a profitable manner and ensuring the performance of these materials.
The better shelf life of foods, their sealability, their lightness and their structural and thermal stability are some of their virtues compared to other materials in the food sector. However, the current recycling process is costly and high landfill rates are a serious environmental problem.
Therefore, creating new, cheaper and more efficient recycling processes would be one way of solving this problem. Through a delamination process and a subsequent compatibilization of the plastic, new polyamides of sufficient quality for a new useful life would be obtained, thus promotes the circular economy through the recycling of these containers.
This project is funded by the Valencian Innovation Agency and in addition to REPOL, various companies from the plastics industry such as UBE, ACTECO and FAPERIN are also involved.

LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS BASED ON HIGH-TEMPERATURE FOAMED PLASTICS
09/06/2017
Lightweight plastics are increasingly used in automotive, aerospace and construction sectors, because the use of low density materials allows to reduce the structural weight of products, reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint. REPOL has recently been working in several projects to develop lightweight materials PP-based. Now, as a new goal, the company will extend this lightweight materials to a high performance/high processing temperature polymers, PA and blends of PCABS.

ADVANCED THERMAL CONDUCTIVE POLYMERS FOR LED LIGHTING AND APPLICATIONS WHERE THERMAL DISSIPATION IS REQUIRED.
07/06/2017
Demand for conductive plastics in thermal management applications continues to rise. An overheating of devices generated by smaller and more powerful electronic components open the need of more efficient thermal control. REPOL is involved in the CDTI project IDI 20151219 to develop materials with an improved heat dissipation and low thermal expansion for LED lighting applications and areas where these features are needed.

Latest trends in the development of engineering plastics.
01/06/2017
REPOL SL. and GAIKER-IK4 have jointly developed, in collaboration with Engel-Helmut Roegele, a seminar on “Trends and Latest Developments for Engineering Plastics”, where the latest developments and innovations in the sector are presented.
Last May 30, the GAIKER Technological Industrial Park hosted the seminar “Trends and Latest Developments for Engineering Plastics”, organised by Repol, S.L. and the GAIKER IK-4 technological centre itself. The aim was to present the latest breakthroughs and developments in replacing traditional materials for engineering plastics, while highlighting the advantages of the system.
The presentations approached all the different properties, opportunities and improvements that the engineering plastic sector may currently offer the rest of the business sectors. Engel shared the improvements that MuCell technology brings to injection processes; REPOL focused on some of the most relevant and innovative market opportunities, such as heat and electricity conductive polymers, or the different weight reduction techniques for thermoplastic components, as well as the growing need for the development of concrete regulations for each sector. As for GAIKER, they approached all the advantages that technological centres may offer other companies as far as knowledge and access to new technologies and materials are concerned, with the objective of further fostering innovation and growth.
We at Repol would like to sincerely thank everybody who attended the seminars.

TOGETHER FOR A NEW HAITÍ
27/10/2016
In January 2010, Haití went through one of the worst moments in its history after suffering an earthquake which totally devastated the country. Now, in 2016, Hurricane Mathew has striked the area once more, causing hundreds of victims and, again, great devastation.
We at Grupo Repol perfectly know that it is difficult times for everybody, but we also know that nothing compares to the situation in Haití, where basic infrastructures are currently being reconstructed, and where basic needs such as water, sanitation or the protection of the rights of children and affected families is still under way.
That is why we have decided to start an initiative through which we will donate 1% of our total November turnover to cooperate in reconstructing the country and supporting its people through the organization Plan International. We know first hand how valuable and transparent their work is, and that is why we blindly trust them.
