– INFORMATION FOR THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY & BRAND OWNERS –

A packaging material that has no memory.

Remember that!

Production-efficient and cost-effective for the manufacturer.

Enhances brand image.

Fully recyclable.

SCANFILL – 50% mineral.Significantly reduced CO2 emissions.

No memory? What we mean, quite simply, is that the material has paper-like properties.

Let us explain why:

SCANFILL – the modern, natural plastic material.We like to call SCANFILL nature’s own packaging material as it consists of 50% chalk – a non-oil based raw material.

Quite simply eco-friendly.

The material’s advantages include its high malleability, good stiffness and rigidity and the possibility for ma-king it pleasantly soft to the touch.

Nature’s own packaging material.SCANFILL consists of 50% calcium carbonate, i.e. pure chalk, a natural mineral which helps significantly reduce fresh water use and halves greenhouse gas emissions.

The polymer portion consists of polyethylene and/or polypropylene which adds strength and enhances impact resistance.

The material is approved for contact with food.

SCANFILL is the obvious choice.With its properties, price stability and environmental benefits, SCANFILL is a natural first choice.

Let us give you some examples of the advantages both for the manufacturing industry and brand owners.

As we list the properties and advantages on the following pages our intention is to give birth to ideas across a range of applications.

Advantages for the manufacturing industry:– Price stability. 50% of the material is a non-oil based raw material.– Much-reduced energy consumption in production.– Significantly reduced fresh water use. – Faster cooling helps significantly boost production speed.– High heat conduction capacity.– Increased stiffness.– Reduced thickness in the product with the same weight.– Fully recyclable.– Meets tomorrow’s environmental demands today.

Advantages for the brand owner:– Meets high-set requirements and is approved for contact with food.– Good environmental profile due to dramatically reduced CO2 emissions. – Cost-efficient – less price-sensitive when raw material prices increase.– Excellent barrier properties and low light permeability helps prolong storage.– Good microwave properties.– Flavourless.– Good moisture resistance.– Excellent printing properties.– High heat stability.– Paper-like, malleable properties that we like to call “no memory”.– Fully recyclable.– Meets tomorrow’s environmental demands today.

SCANFILL – the possibilities are virtually endless.The unique SCANFILL material, which consists of 50% superabundant raw material, is particularly suitable for refinement in traditional blow moulding and thermo-forming processes, and also for injection moulding.

Our product portfolio:

SCANFILL Foil – base grade suitable for foil extrusion.

SCANFILL Bottle – base grade suitable for blow moulding.

SCANFILL Injection – base grade suitable for injection moulding.

SCANFILL Sheet – sheet suitable for refinement via thermoforming.

SCANFILL is a material that can be moulded into both mono- and multi-layer packaging like conventional packaging materials.
