Mondi has launched Fibromer, a new polymer reinforced with cellulose fibre that has numerous injection moulding applications for industries such as automotive, logistics/transport, electronics and furniture.
Mondi developed Fibromer in a new compounding process that homogenously mixes kraft pulp fibre – a renewable resource produced by Mondi – with a polymer granule. The result is a new composite that offers clear advantages for injection moulders and original equipment manufacturers over other composites used in manufacturing, such as those using short glass fibres, other natural fibres or talcum-filled material.
Clemens Stockreiter, COO Mondi Kraft Paper, commented: “Product innovation is a high priority at Mondi. We recognised that requirements for composite materials were changing: converters and manufacturers want polymers that are not only strong and stable, but also customisable to a certain degree and preferably from renewable or sustainable sources. We are excited to launch Fibromer which meets all those needs and has great potential for a number of industries.”
