\u201eWe see our technology solutions as enablers for a better world. In the polymer processing industry, we need to move towards a sustainable, closed-loop economy for packaging materials and textiles, for example, and intensively expand the recycling of reusable materials. With our current technologies and future innovations, we support manufacturers along the process chain in achieving their own sustainability goals.\u201c<\/p>

The efficient and continuous polycondensation plants from Oerlikon Barmag Huitong Engineering produce a homogeneous melt through a chemical reaction in which different types of monomers are converted into polymers. The advantages of having your own polycondensation plant: Independence from external granulate manufacturers, compensation for short-term price fluctuations on the market for raw materials<\/strong> and direct influence on the polymer quality.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
