TPC-ET and hot melt adhesives based on copolyesters and copolyamides

SIPOL® SpA, founded in 1998, is a specialist in the polymerisation of high-performance polymers. The privately owned company is part of the Tecnogi Group and has a high degree of flexibility and innovativeness.

The core competence of SIPOL® is the development and production of thermoplastic ether-ester elastomers (TPC-ET), hot-melt adhesives based on copolyesters and copolyamides for technical applications, as well as biodegradable copolyesters.

Five polymerisation lines with a capacity of 12,000 tonnes/year are available on the 40,000 m² company site near Milan, with a sixth line due to start up in 2022.

Operating under the brand name SIPOLPRENE®, SIPOL® produces thermoplastic copolyester elastomers in the hardness range of Shore D 25 - 77, which combine flexibility with high temperature and chemical resistance. The products have a high mechanical level and are used in all technically demanding areas.

TECHNIPOL® and TECHNIPOL®PA are hot-melt adhesives based on copolyester and copolyamide for technical applications such as filters (paper coating) or the E&E sector.

Biodegradable copolyesters have been developed under the Technipol® BIO brand, some of which have already been certified by TÜV Austria.
