Chemiton® by Franplast: Tailor-Made TPE-S Solutions for the Most Demanding Applications
As an innovative SME, Franplast SpA specializes in custom-formulated thermoplastic styrene block copolymers (TPE-S). The Italian manufacturer's core strength lies in its true "tailor-made" approach: thanks to a flexible structure and an in-house R&D laboratory, Franplast customizes compounds precisely to customer requirements – from hardness and colors to optimized flow properties. This shortens time-to-market and ensures maximum efficiency in injection molding and extrusion.
At Fakuma, Franplast showcases the performance spectrum of its Chemiton® product family for demanding industries:
Chemiton Med: USP Class VI certified, biocompatible TPE-S compounds, free from phthalates and latex, specially developed for highly sensitive medical and pharmaceutical applications.
Chemiton Clear: highly transparent TPE-S materials with excellent optical clarity, ideal for food contact, baby products (e.g., baby bottle teats), and cosmetic packaging.
Chemiton 2K: compounds featuring outstanding chemical adhesion to polyolefins and engineering plastics for durable rigid-flexible bonds.
Chemiton XT & Flex: extremely tear-resistant and highly elastic TPE-S materials, perfectly optimized for complex profiles in extrusion processes.
Chemiton Life: the eco-friendly range made from bio-based or recycled raw materials, developed for the targeted reduction of the CO₂ footprint within the circular economy.
Creative material development:
Chelai Art was born out of a collaboration between Franplast and the artist Paolo Nicolai. A new and fascinating area of application demonstrates that TPE-S composites not only offer technical precision but also set new artistic and aesthetic standards.
Franplast’s materials were selected as an innovative substrate for exclusive works of art. This symbiosis proves that, thanks to their versatility and soft-touch feel, high-tech plastics also enrich the world of design.
