PARTICLE FOAM PROTECTS.

SPORTS

In sports, there are many possible applications for particle foams. For example, the elastic E-TPU in the bicycle saddle can provide back-friendly cushioning and, as a tyre for scooters, for durable, long-lasting mobility. But E-TPU can also play to its individual strengths as sports equipment for gymnastics or rehabilitation in the form of balls or fascia rolls. Particle foam in sports helmets and joint protectors offer reliable protection against impact damage.

LEISURE

Since our products made of EPS (Styrofoam® | airpop®) and EPP are hardly subject to any form restrictions, there are more and more applications in the sports and leisure sector. Due to the combination of low weight and high stability, our foams are ideally suited to your requirements, whether as seat pads for concerts or as toy planes.

DESIGN

Whether for furniture, decoration or art – particle foams such as EPS (Styrofoam® | airpop®) or EPP are enjoying increasing popularity in this area. They are light and yet non-slip. And can be formed into any shape in any dimension. Whether 3D logo design or 3D letters and numbers made of Styrofoam®, ceiling panels and wall panels or model construction made of Styrofoam® – the right solution can be designed for every requirement.

BACK-FRIENDLY & JOINT-GENTLE

E-TPU IN BICYCLE SADDLE

The passionate cyclists know the problem of a saddle causing pain on long bike tours.
An innovative bicycle saddle with an ergonomic core – to relieve the strain on the back, seat bones and genitals – solves the problem. The saddle, which adapts to the rider’s movements, cushions any unevenness in the ground with the help of the E-TPU built into the core. The bike accessory manufacturer RTI Sports from Koblenz has developed the concept for this innovative product in cooperation with BASF and the German Sport University Cologne.

ELASTIC & RESISTANT

E-TPU FOR MAXIMUM PLAYER PERFORMANCE

Use e.g. in padel tennis racquets
as core material, spring element or thin surface element on both sides in the impact zone
better performance of E-TPU compared to conventional core materials such as EVA
– higher elasticity and suppleness over a wide temperature range
– no hardening at low temperatures or softening at high temperatures
– durability under cyclic dynamic loads significantly improved

EPS, PIOCELAN® AND EPP IN AVIATOR OR DRONE

Drone technology is being used more and more in the industrial sector. Today, unmanned aerial vehicles are used in construction planning for inspection, documentation and landscape surveying. But also thermal analyses of landscapes or buildings can reliably be recorded by drones. Due to their very precise control and flight capabilities, these small, compact aircraft are ideal for exploring areas that are difficult for people to access, such as shaft or pipe systems.
The media industry is also already exploiting the advantages of drone technology. The result is impressive video and image scenes for film and television.
Other areas of application for drones are as interesting as they are exciting. The logistics sector, for example, uses parcel drones for the transmission of deliveries, until now mostly within its own warehouse complex. A major online retailer is already beginning to deliver its customers’ orders via drone in 2019.
The drone as a flying defibrillator or for pest control is another exciting aspect for possible future applications.
