OATING Long Tradition and Extensive Experience in the Global Polyurethane Coating Industry. Advanced and high-performance products for wood, plastic and metal coating applications are the core of SAPICI offering. On these technologies the company has built its own reputation and credibility on the market worldwide, while expanding into new industries and applications. SAPICI has a large product line for coating applications on wood, metal, plastics and other surfaces. Ask us about our Polurene, Rexin and Ucopol families of products. Innovation at SAPICI is a continuous process. Among SAPICI most recent achievements, our low freemonomer line of hardening products developed for wood coating applications. SAPICI has leveraged almost eighty years of continued investments and experience to develop the technology for the production of isocyanates characterized by a content of free monomer guaranteed as lower than 0.1 per cent. The SAPICI Polurgreen line provides the company s customers and their own clients e.g. the final users with significant benefits in terms of respect and protection of their health, safety and the environment. By using the SAPICI Polurgreen line it is possible to produce safer varnishes, just replacing the isocyanates and without changes to either the formulations or production equipment. Ask us about our new Waterborne Line of products. In terms of labeling, SAPICI Polurgreen line makes it possible to downgrade from danger to just warning symbols, immediately proving and showing the significant lowering of the potential risk of the final products allowed by SAPICI s R&D capabilities and achievements. The company has built in 2004 its own plant for the production of the Polurgreen line in San Cipriano Po (Pavia, IT), from where in addition to its other plants in Italy and China it serves its clients worldwide. Respecting the business and requests of its clients, SAPICI has decided to keep producing its traditional product lines for coating too. Among them the Polurene and Rexin lines, respectively the isocyanate and rexin or oxidrilated rexin components for the production of multipurpose varnishes. The Ucopol moisture curing polyurethanes are available both as ready-to-use and as prepolymers for industrial formulations. The Ucopol OL urethane oil and urtehane alkyd resins are obtained from renewable raw materials. The UCOFLEX series are solvent-based elastomers for clear and pigmented paints for ABS, PVC, PUR, polystyrene and paper, showing good resistance to yellowing, abrasion and shock. Among SAPICI latest innovations, the Bluepur coalescent-free waterborne polyurethane dispersion for coating applications. 16 FLEXIBLE PACKAGING Special Polyurethane Adhesives for the Flexible Food and non-food Packaging Industries. SAPICI entered the flexible packaging business in 1995, leveraging its large experience in the polyurethane business. Since then, SAPICI specific offering to its clients has developed to include a complete range of competitive solutions branded as Polurene FP and Polurflex. Either solvent-based or solvent-free, SAPICI lines of adhesives for flexible food packaging can be MDI-free and R40 phrase-free due to their very low free isocyanate content. SAPICI adhesives also allow for very low / no formation of aromatic amines. SAPICI competence, experience and success in the development, production and commercialization of polyurethane adhesives for the flexible food packaging industry is based on its long trackrecord of success in the polyurethane business since the early Sixties. SAPICI specific offering of adhesives for flexible food packaging includes the Polurene FP line: two-component polyester / polyether based adhesives, NCO or OH terminated, with a wide range of characteristics including thermal and chemical resistance and the possibility to treat the completed film film, film metalized and film aluminimum structures through sterilization and pasteurization processes. The Polurene FP line is also available as one component, NCO terminated, for paper aluminium and paper film foil lamination, always with excellent bond strenght values. 17 Ask us about our new Waterborne Line of products. SAPICI Flexible Packaging solutions for coffee, pasta, snacks, frozen food, chips, meat, cookies, spices, pharma, cosmetics, and more. The highly innovative SAPICI Polurflex line of products has been developed to offer the flexible food packaging industry both improved performances and safer and more competitive solutions. SAPICI Polurflex products, available either solvent-based or solvent free, NCO or OH terminated, are polyurethane adhesive systems that can be used with different mixing ratios to ease the achievement of the expected performances, and are suitable for a wide range of structures thanks to their good adhesion and wettability properties, also allowing for excellent final optics. SAPICI lines of adhesives for flexible food packaging also include Primary Aromatic Amines (PAA) fast decay range products like the Polurflex SB 200A, 200C, 350A and 950C. The Polurflex SB 380A-LM and 380C-LM show very good adhesion with and without alu foil, along with very good chemical resistance, and do not need the R40 phrase on their label.

They are also characterized by excellent rheology and ease of use. The Polurene BK 50 AE is a TDIbased polymer containing blocked and curable isocyanic groups, specifically recommended for non-woven, PVC, fabrics and fabric laminations. The Polurene LPI line comprises resins that can be utilized as 1K ready-to-use products or can be formulated like 2K systems for special sectors and applications, particularly in the building and construction segment. The Polurene LPI 34 NT is a D4 approved 1K adhesive for wood, recommended for finger joint bonding of outdoor furnitures. A very crystalline adhesive resistant to heatshock, it is highly resistant to acid and alkaline hydrolysis, and shows rapid curing. The Polurene LPI 1272 and LPI 2572 are solvent free MDI-based 1K PU adhesives recommended for sandwich panels for thermal and acoustic insulation. The Polurene IAX 3719 is a MDI-based 1K PU adhesive in ethyl acetate with excellent initial bond, recommended for PVC, expanded PU, and natural or synthetic fabrics. The Polurene LP and LPI range is much wider than this. Please contact us to discover whether we already have the solution you need, or we can develop a new one tailored on your demands. 18 19 Innovative Polyurethane Prepolymers for the Most Demanding Applications. SAPICI commitment to the casting industry is strengthened by the continuous development of innovative solutions, like the new electroconductive and nano-technology based Polurcast EC series. The SAPICI Polurcast series are a wide range of innovative and very low free TDI content (till less than 0.1 per cent of free monomer) polyurethane prepolymers suitable for the most demanding applications. Among their characteristics the good hydrolysis and abrasion resistance, high elongation and tensile strength of the Polurcast polyether-tdi based series. The Polurcast PE series show higher compression modulus and higher tensile strength. The Polurcast PET series are polyester-tdi based, characterized by high solvent resistance combined with high ultimate tensile strength. The New Electro-Conductive Series The new, highly innovative SAPICI Polurcast EC line nanotechnology based products developed by the company s new R&D Laboratories in San Cipriano Po is characterized by electrical conductivity values that make it ideal for applications where discharge of electrostatic charges is necessary along with elevated chemical and mechanical properties. Blended with curing amines, they allow for the production of highperformance electrically conductive PU elastomers. The SAPICI Polurcast EC prepolymers have been perfected for the production of such applications as wheels (for forklifts and other equipment), tires, rolls (including rolls for printing machines), gears, conductive sheets and other applications requiring high hardness elastomers. Most common applications are in the Chemical and Petrochemical, Paint and Lacquer and Automotive industries, as well as in contexts, areas and operations where the risk of fire or explosion has to be considered. SAPICI keeps expanding its highly innovative Polurcast EC line with new, high-performing products.
