Sustainability is the challenge of the future. Let us win it together.
The Technoform group, for over 50 years a reference point for the design and production of extruded profiles in high-performance plastic materials, has always dedicated special attention to research into alternative materials and solutions that today can only speak the language of sustainability.
Recycled Polyamide
Technoform's research has resulted in Recycled Polyamide profiles which, by replacing 100% virgin PA 6.6 with the recycled alternative, have made it possible to reduce their environmental impact by 75%, as certified by IFT Rosenheim and by the kgCO2 eq. values indicated in the product EPDs. A natural evolution of the base material is LowLambda Recycled Polyamide, which perfectly combines the best requirements for energy efficiency with those for environmental impact, reducing the impact on the individual window by a further 20%.
Technical properties
To ensure the high quality of the finished product, the glass fibre always remains of primary origin, guaranteeing that the thermal and mechanical properties remain unchanged. Recycled Polyamide thermal break profiles are in fact approved by institutes and reference brands such as IFT Rosenheim, CSTB and ATg and can therefore be used as a green alternative to current solutions without the need for further testing and certification.
Recycled polyamide granules (PA 6.6) are produced by recycling production waste from the automotive and textile industries (so-called PIR) and reconverting it into polymers with such high technical and mechanical performance characteristics that they can replace virgin raw materials. The increased availability on the market has made it possible to increase their quality and utilisation rate to 100%.
LowLambda Recycled Polyamide combines energy efficiency and mechanical strength.
For maximum transparency in the sustainable use of materials, the Italian production chain is guaranteed by TUV Italia and certified according to ISO 14021 (Type II environmental labelling) through a strict production control plan that is audited annually.
