UBE, a group partner of NRC, has started in-house compounding in Castellón, Spain.
In February 2017, UBE brought in the machinery required and fitted the plant, set for production of non-reinforced PA6 and PA12 grades. Sampling for customers began in May.
As the NRC Group is as a distributor, UBE’s new in-house solution provides two key advantages: the use of several production sites ensures a steady supply of materials and the products manufactured in Spain are of EU origin.
To further improve technical support, UBE’s Research Team recently purchased a laboratory compounder to develop innovative, high-tech polyamides.
UBE’s research experts provide technical support, material and application development services, and marketing in support of other departments as well as extrusion (films, monofilaments, tubes, profile und blow moulds) and injection moulding (raw materials and specialties).
