Microfoam® low-density, lightweight polypropylene
Microfoam® low-density, lightweight polypropylene:
The Situation
A provider of playground equipment has a hard time finding the whole package when seeking a protective packaging solution: performance, pricing and environmental stewardship.
- In 2005 company switched from using Microfoam® for cost reasons.
- The company received higher number of complaints about damage after the switch.
- The company was not willing to switch back until a “total solution” was brought before them.
The Solution
Microfoam® was able to address all three items the company was seeking.
- Microfoam® had superior performance properties.
- Through manufacturing improvements a significant amount of the cost differential could be removed.
- A system was devised where purchasers could send the material to a plant for recycling or regrinding. Thus incorporating all the company’s needs.
