Foam forming and extensible moulded webs
Binder for foam forming and moulded fibre
CHP 557 can be used as a foaming agent to create foam-formed and wet-laid webs. Foam forming enables the use of longer cellulose-based fibers, rather than plastic-based fibers. In VTT’s Piloting Alternatives for Plastics project, CHP 557 was used to bind cellulose-based fibers. When CHP 557 was added to the fibre web, the extensibility was enhanced. This enabled forming deeper trays. Click here for more information about CHP 557.
Piloting Alternatives for Plastics
In VTT’s Piloting Alternatives for Plastics, a jointly funded ERDF project, plastic fibers have been replaced by cellulose-based fibers. The development work has been conducted as a part of a research program, where VTT in co-operation with 54 companies and Regional Council of Central Finland have up-scaled promising alternatives for plastic products.
