Manufacturing Process
Plantic has a program of formulation development in place to expand the suitability of Plantic® material for the various conversion technologies. This is driven by application and product development in close co-operation with customer requirements and under consideration of the various conversion processes to be employed.
Plantic via extrusion technology manufactures Plantic® R1, Plantic® HP1 and Plantic eco Plastic™ in roll form at its Melbourne facility. Each roll typically weighs 300 - 500kg. The sheet is available in a broad range of colours to suit customer requirements. To aid distribution the company manages a central warehousing as part of its Thermoforming and application development Plant in Germany, from where it supplies clients in Europe. Future manufacturing capacity is planned for Europe, USA and South America.
Plantic products are sensitive to moisture in the environment, therefore rolls are stored in dry ambient conditions, wrapped in film to protect the material from changes in relative humidity.
Through the acquisition of Plantic Tribond Technologies Ltd, our expertise has further extended to state of the art mulit-layer lamination technologies and thermoforming & vaccum forming technologies.
