Fibaplast Inspired by Nature – masterbatches with colors and effects inspired by nature

-

A modern interpretation of natural beauty – with the new Fibaplast – Inspired by Nature product series, we are bringing the fascinating textures and colors of nature into the world of plastics. Inspired by the variety of fine wood grains, the powerful appearance of stone structures and the warm nuances of natural earth tones, high-quality effects are created that give products an distinctive identity.


Extended variety of materials:

Until now, nature-inspired masterbatches have mainly been used in #polyolefins. Finke is now expanding its portfolio to include solutions for #styrenics, enabling even more applications in different material systems. All variants are not only visually impressive, but also technically: they offer good to very good light fastness and therefore guarantee durable, high-quality surfaces.


The targeted play with flow lines, the use of special pigments and additional finishes such as laser marking allow impressive, nature-like structures and a special feel to be achieved. This turns every surface into an experience authentic, unique and high-quality.


Diverse applications with strong designs:

Head of Development and Application Technology Dr. Martin Fritsch explains: “We are noticing that customers are increasingly asking for natural designs in order to visually highlight their products and differentiate themselves more strongly in the market. The first successful applications are already in the cosmetics and furniture industries, where natural effects are particularly appreciated. Our nature-inspired masterbatches are also being used successfully in the toy sector: the special effects give the products a unique look that visually enhances them and makes them stand out from the crowd suitable for children, individual and with a high recognition value.”


Sustainability is also a focus here: many #Fibaplast – Inspired by #Nature masterbatches are already based on recycled materials. On request, we can produce all variants entirely from #recycledrawmaterials – without compromising on quality or aesthetics. In addition, all #Masterbatches are food-safe and therefore open up further application possibilities.

There are also no limits to the imagination when it comes to color design: our experienced colorists develop tailor-made shades and effects that are precisely matched to the customer’s ideas.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...
