Agenda Our company Our proposition Sunflower seed production Sunflower hull preparation Production Features of S²PC Benefits of S²PC Application areas for S²PC Case studies About our Eco-profile
Our Company Golden Compound is an autonomus part of the SPC Sunflower Plastic Compound GmbH
Our Proposition
Sunflower Hull Preparation Control residual Fat & Water content in hull preparation Hulls are grinded to specific dimensions Optimised compounds for specific applications Hulls Coarse grinded hulls Sunflower fibers
Production Vision Pilot plant 2.500 MT per year Large scale plant 2016 25.000 MT per year Global Expansion
Features of S²PC S²PC is compounded performance material Specially prepared Sunflower Hulls Polymer matrix Engineering additives Features Natural dark/black color - lighter colours possible Unique aesthetics Natural foaming effect Shift in balance of performance data vs. incumbent fillers and fibers Reduced density vs. incumbent fillers and fibers Easy processable at conventional conversion equipment Substantiated sustainability claims
Benefits of S²PC Compared with UNFILLED materials Reduced cycle times up to 50% Reduced melt temperature up to 25 % Increased Strength and Stiffness Increased Heat Deformation Temperature No sink marks with thick parts Compared with FILLED materials Reduced density of 10% Increased flexibility at equal loading Compared with other NATURAL fibers & fillers High flow properties Excellent processability
