• GREEN TECHNOLOGY - FULFILLING INDUSTRIAL HEALTH & SAFETY STANDARDS

Our eco-friendly VaporFuse Eco Fluid solvent is non CMR and approved for the processing of plastics with food contact according to regulation (EU) 10/2011. The solvent is circulated continuously in a closed loop and automatically recovered by the system. This enables a sustainable contact-free process without chemical waste. Operating the Powerfuse S does not require protective clothing against chemical hazards.

• IMPROVEMENTS BEYOND AESTHETICS SEALED, STRONG & AIRTIGHT PARTS

VaporFuse Surfacing (VFS) delivers sealed and washable parts with injection molding like surfaces. The surface roughness is reduced to a minimum. The entire process chamber is flooded with vapor while undergoing vacuum. This ensures a reproducible processing of complex geometries and internal surfaces. VFS works for all common plastics and particularly for flexible polymers such as TPU, for which mechanical techniques are not suitable.

• READY FOR THE FACTORY OF THE FUTURE

The Powerfuse S is Industry 4.0 ready. The system offers fully automatic loading, connectivity via OPC-UA server and batch tracking features. Efficient service is ensured via remote access. Validated and specially developed programs for all common materials are available and ready to use. In addition, all process parameters can be adapted individually for other materials. This ensures flexibility and a seamless integration with existing production processes such as the DyeMansion Print-to-Product workflow.

• WHY SUSTAINABILITY MATTERS

Sustainability is one of our core values that drives each innovation in our company. With chemical processes especially, you need to take the impact on humans and the environment into consideration. This is why it is particularly important to us that our DyeMansion EcoFluid does not contain any substances that fall under these aspects: PFAS, CMR and vPvM. This is why we describe our solvent as sustainable.

 No PFAS (Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances)

 Non CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic)

 Not vPvM (very persistent and very mobile)

LEVELS OF SMOOTHING

Three parameters for different levels of smoothing. Different parameters achieve different results depending on the material and the geometry of the application.

A TRULY GREEN SOLUTION THE POWERFUSE S EMBODIES THE PRINCIPLE OF ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

• VaporFuse Eco Fluid solvent is approved for the processing of plastics with food contact according to regulation (EU) 10/2011.
• VaporFuse Surfacing is compliant with FDA’s food contact regulations which is unlocking new fields of real world food & beverage applicati.
• Non CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic).
• Solvent is circulated in a closed loop.

Integrated recovery of the solvent ensures contact-free process without chemical waste.
