Akkaya and Foamatec decided to come together for consolidation of activities for EU market. Akkaya becomes an official partner of Foamatec as a shareholder and Akkaya gives all strength to bring Foamatec as an accepted EPS-EPP machine supplier in EU.

Although the Plast-Eurasia fair, which we have traditionally been a participant this year, has been a little dull after Plast2018 Milan fair, the visitors from different countries have been introduced to our latest technology products to the EPS-EPP investments.

Our company, which participated in Plast2018 together with Foamatec GMBH, with which it has a strategic business partnership, introduced new technology products and equipments in this participation. Innovations in the sector were presented to customers in Milan Fair, which is the preparation of Düsseldorf K Fair. Our company, which has established new relations with customers from different countries, has given information to the visitors especially about the innovations it provides to EPS-EPP production technologies.

Our Company, which always supports closely the innovations and developments in the EPS sector, participated in the 5th International Geofoam Conference held in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus between 09-11 May 2018.

• solvent resistant
• floats

Expanded polypropylene (EPP) Suspension stabilisation In contrast to the styrene in the EPS process, propylene is directly polymerised and then granulated. In order to make the resulting PP granules expandable, they are suspended in water via pressure and a high temperature, and impregnated with a foaming agent. After this step, the resulting EPP granules can be processed further in the same way as EPS beads. 

---

EPP products can be found in anything ranging from pharmaceutical products via food to flame retardants. Their positive properties contribute to increased health and safety in your daily life. The foam produced from polypropylene (PP) is elastic, shockproof and has a particularly pleasant feel. It is used in a range of hardness levels for the production of training shoes, car seats and even furniture, for example, to guarantee a soft landing. EPP is also popular for highquality thermal insulation packaging and shockproof packaging.

---

EPP is very similar to EPS, because it is also obtained from rigid polymer beads heat expansion, resulting in a closed cell structure. However, it has a better shape memory, giving it greater resilience and allowing it to deform without breaking. Expanded Polypropylene is used extensively in automotive and specialized components indutries, primarily because of its resilience qualities. 

---

The use of Expanded Polypropylene is not limited to electronic devices packaging or car bumpers. Several other applications are possible in security and protection, sports and recreation, shipping and handling, OEM and many others domains.From protecting fresh food and insulating buildings, to the manufacture of crash resistant safety products and transportation of temperature sensitive medications, EPP plays a vital role in our daily lives.
