Omya Showcases Sustainable Innovations at K 2025 Focusing on Performance Polymers
Omya's Innovations at K 2025
In the heart of Düsseldorf, at the internationally acclaimed K 2025 fair, Omya is set to unveil its latest advancements emphasizing sustainable practices in polymers. The event is a vital touchpoint for industry keen on engaging with innovative solutions that prioritize not just performance but also environmental stewardship.
Omya, recognized globally for its leadership in essential minerals and specialty materials distribution, will focus on several key pillars in their showcasing. A major highlight is the launch of Omya Performance Polymers Distribution (OPPD), aimed at streamlining their polymer distribution network to better serve a dynamic global market. This newly established division integrates Omya's extensive knowledge and resources, collaborating with Distrupol to provide a comprehensive range of high-performance polymer offerings.
Driving Decarbonization through Innovation
A core component of Omya's mission is to contribute positively to climate change mitigation. Their advanced calcium carbonate solutions are crafted to not only enhance the performance of plastic products but also significantly lower carbon footprints. Products like Omyaloop FC, serving general applications, and Omya Smartfill 55-AV, designed for engineering materials and bioplastics, exemplify this approach. Verified by Bureau Veritas, these offerings are produced using renewable energy and boast recycled pre-consumer grades that can reduce emissions by up to two-thirds. Marco Viel, Vice President of Polymers at Omya, states, "Our mineral solutions lessen environmental impact while elevating performance."
Lightweighting for Optimal Efficiency
In addition to decarbonization, Omya’s innovative lightweighting solutions are tailored for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics. Their Omyasphere 900 series introduces hollow glass microspheres, crafted to dramatically reduce product weight while ensuring strength remains intact. These lightweight fillers enable better flow, allow for higher filler loadings, and provide superior thermal and dielectric performance — essential for applications requiring both performance and efficiency.
Performance Meets Sustainability in Hygiene Products
Furthermore, Omya has made strides in the hygiene sector with their latest Omyafilm developments. These innovations allow manufacturers to create thinner films that maintain the stability and quality of products. On a similar note, Omyafiber is targeting the non-woven textiles and carpet industries, promising reductions in material costs and environmental footprints, while also offering technical advantages.
Comprehensive Solutions for Polymer Challenges
Beyond minerals, Omya is committed to distributing a diverse array of specialty materials, including bio-based additives and CO₂ reduction solutions through strategic partnerships with leading manufacturers. This integrated approach enables Omya to deliver tailored, high-performance solutions that address the ever-evolving demands of the plastic industry.
With a steadfast dedication to sustainability, innovation, and efficiency, Omya positions itself as a trusted partner. Attendees at K 2025 are invited to engage with the Omya team, experience live demonstrations, and explore how the company’s solutions are shaping the future of the plastic sector.
