Select an industry below to explore ICMA solutions and applications.

Polymers

Polymers

Polymers have become the material of choice in many industries like the automotive sectors, where several demanding tasks found a solution thanks to engineering plastics compounding.

Green Polymers

The development of green polymers, bio-based materials and water-soluble polymers is accelerating across multiple industries, driven by sustainability targets, regulatory requirements and the need for innovative functional materials.

Recycling

Recycling & Green Plastics

The recycling of plastics is evolving from simple reprocessing to material upgrading, where contaminated, heterogeneous and degraded polymer streams must be transformed into usable, high-quality compounds.

Cable industry

The cabling industry requires highly stable, homogeneous and precisely formulated polymer compounds to ensure electrical insulation, mechanical resistance and long-term durability of cables and wires.

Pipes

The pipe industry increasingly relies on consistent, high-quality polymer compounds to meet demanding requirements in terms of mechanical performance, long-term durability and regulatory compliance.

Thermoplastic Rubber

Thermoplastic Rubber

Thermoplastic rubber is a typical application for ICMA's co-rotating extruder from simple formulation up to technical products with several lines in operation WW.

Foil & Sheet

Foils & Sheet

Several industrial applications requires high tech foil or sheets made with polymers mixed with other components in order to obtain superior performance.

Petrochemical

ICMA is a specialist able to design customized systems for downstream developments such as polymer additivation or compounding.

Food

Twin screw extruders are used for producing processed food like snacks of gluten free pasta. By mixing different flour with water and other ingredients it works like an efficient cooker for the food industry
