Americhem China Unveils New Concept Center
SUZHOU, China (April 14, 2016) Americhem Inc., a global provider of color and additive solutions for plastics and synthetic fibers, unveils its new Suzhou, China, customer concept center and renovated laboratory. The facility gives customers a practical and innovative space to develop products and collaborate with Americhem technical experts.
"The new concept center is an exceptional place to showcase our core products and technologies," remarked Stanley Teoh, Americhem's vice president and managing director for the Asia Pacific region. "We are pleased to provide a space for our customers to view product samples, discover functional additives and compounds, work in partnership with our experts on new products and utilize our color training center."
The concept center houses a wide selection of end-product samples and technical solutions for synthetic fibers, nonwovens, building products, medical and other specialty engineered compounds. There is also a training center with educational resources on color theory, product development and color control for visitors.
Synthetic fiber color libraries are available for a wide array of applications including carpet, apparel, automotive and industrial fabrics, and synthetic turf. Polymers represented for these libraries include PA, PET, PTT, PP, PE and PLA.
The concept center has a complete offering of nShield™ antimicrobial concentrates and compounds for the plastics and synthetic fibers industries. In addition, customers can work with nVision™ polymeric soluble colors for polypropylene nonwovens and mBrace™ softeners for nonwoven fabrics. Also featured are eCap™ PVC and ASA capstock compounds and nGrain® simulated woodgrain effects for building products such as decking, railing, fencing and roofing.
Americhem's laboratory renovations will expand the company's capacity to develop next generation products. There is more room for technical collaboration with Americhem product experts and an expanded capacity to develop products with increased speed to market. Fiber and plastic pilot equipment allows customers to test their new color and additive products in real time, without interrupting their production schedules and without the iterative process of shipping samples back and forth as the products are developed.
The facility also supports product development for Americhem's sister company, Infinity LTL Engineered Compounds, with a comprehensive range of INELEC, INLUBE, INSTRUC and Colorfast® high temperature engineering compounds and alloys. Other product innovations include Surlyn Reflection Series® high-gloss paint replacement compounds and Color Rx® compounds for medical applications. The Suzhou plant is certified to the ISO 13485 standard for the design and manufacture of medical devices.
This year, the Suzhou facility is celebrating its 10-year anniversary and presence in the Asia Pacific region. Americhem and Infinity LTL will exhibit at the 30th annual ChinaPlas exhibition at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, April 25-28. Visitors can stop by Americhem's booth, located at Hall W1, Stand L61, for more information on the new concept center and renovated laboratories, or contact Scott Blanchard at sblanchard@americhem.com.
