Case Study: Superior packaging solutions for
reducing external damages to 2-wheelers
Problems identified: Transit
damages and scratches to
2-wheelers result in higher rejection
rate.
Solution by Supreme: Designed
and manufactured customized,
combination-laminated protective
covers and padding for 2-wheelers
made of PROTECarmour /
PROTECbubble / PROTECcapcell.
Benefit: More than 10% reduction in
packing cost and no transit damage.
PROTECarmour: PROTECarmour
is non-crosslinked, expanded
polyethylene foam of a closed-cell
structure which is versatile and
protects your product completely.
PROTECbubble: PROTECbubble is
a flexible polymeric film comprising
of small air pockets and it provides
excellent cushioning and protection
against transit damages.
PROTECcapcell: PROTECcapcell is
a microcellular, high mechanical
strength EVA PE foam and it
provides unique advantage of low
weight v/s high strength requirement
thus improving efficiency.
Did you know?
The PROTEC packaging and cushioning range products are environment
friendly and most of the products are 100% recyclable.
The Indian GDP has grown by 8% in
the first 2 quarters of this year.
Further, as per the findings of
various international research
organizations, world protective
packaging market is increasing by
close to 8% & this trend will continue
for the next 3 to 4 years.
Demand is expected to be fueled by
rapid development in the country’s
manufacturing sector.
Gains may also be propelled by the
expansion of India’s urban middle
class, the primary consumers of
packaged products.
According to AIPMA, India’s plastic
consumption in 2010 stood at 9mn
tons and has been growing at an
annual average rate of 12%. With its
true potential, consumption is all set
to reach 12.5mn tons by the end of
2012, which will make India the 3rd
largest consumer of plastics after US
and China.
Supreme’s Protective Packaging
Division is geared up for all the
upcoming challenges and is
confident enough to meet any
industry demand through better
market understanding, enhancement
in the service levels as well as
incresing the capacity.

Did you know?
A Reflective Insulation System (RIS) is typically formed by layers of
reflective or a low emittance material and enclosed air spaces which in turn
provides highly reflective or low emittance cavities (Air bubble film) adjacent
to a heated region.

Wool & INSUshield (Closed cell chemically crosslinked Polyethylene)
Fire Characteristic
Resin Bonded Fibreglass Wool INSUshield
Water Absorption
Application
Ease of Handling
INSUshield crosslinked material is
fire retardant, which neither
propagates fire, nor releases dense
smoke or toxic gases.
Material has negligible water
absorption and extremely low vapor
transmission. Thus thermal
conductivity is not affected under
varying atmospheric conditions.
Material is easy to work with and
faster to apply. It provides a smooth
uniform finish. It requires lower
thickness for similar conditions,
which saves space for other utilities.
Closed cell material is easy to
handle.
INSUflex is a fire retardant closed
cell, flexible, elastomeric pre-formed
tubing thermal insulation product for
application in HVAC piping, split and
window ACs, plumbing, waste water
drainage pipes, solar piping, cold
storage, clean room piping and many
more...
Features and Benefits
• A high water vapour diffusion
resistance ensures thermal
efficiency during low temperature
operations.
• Chemically inert, resistant to
growth of fungi & vermin.
• Low thermal conductivity of the
product provides energy savings
and trouble free performance.
• Operating temperature range of
(–)55°C to (+)105°C.
• Lightweight and flexible tubing is
available in various pipe sizes
and thickness combinations for
diverse applications.
• Fire retardant quality means
safety & protection.
• Odourless
• Fibre free, CFC & HCFC free with
zero O.D.P.
Introduction of INSUflex
The binder is combustible and in
case of fire, it continues to smolder
within the material. This could act as
a source of fire itself.
Open cell structure material absorbs
moisture leading to increase of
thermal conductivity tending towards
that of water i.e. a conducting
medium.
Application of material requires
larger area, is messy and
hazardous to health. Fibres
released in the atmosphere cause
irritation.
The grabbing strength of material is poor.
Material sags in vertical applications.

Advent of Green Buildings
Did you know?
DURAfill is developed specifically to perform consistently in a challenging
construction environment using special raw materials and manufacturing
process.
Construction industry all over the
world is encouraging the use of
eco-friendly building materials in its
bid to fight the growing threat of
global warming. India’s Green
Building footprint has grown from
20,000 sq.ft. in 2001 to projects
covering up to 888 million sq.ft. in
2011. There are approximately 1270
registered green buildings and 195
certified green buildings in the
country till date. Buildings have a
major impact on the environment
throughout their life cycle. Resources
such as rubber, metal, wood, etc. get
depleted in the construction and
operations of buildings. Supreme
offers customized solutions for the
construction requirements of various
segments which are better alter-
natives than the current resources.
We have already initialized the
process to certify some of our
products as Green Products for
construction applications.
The infrastructure story is set to
open a new chapter if the central
government goes ahead with its new
scheme of Ultra Mega Road Projects
(UMRPs). The sheer size of each
UMRP - Rs.20,000 crore - envisages
a massive transformation of the
Indian landscape

Commandment 1 Thou shall
not hide: Be visible, be active in
the office. Go chat up with your
colleagues, give your opinions
(without being annoying), crack
a joke.
Commandment 2 Thou shall
help thy colleagues: Every once
in a while volunteer to do
someone else’s task in case
they have a huge workload. This
will show that you are a team
player.
Commandment 3 Thou shall
come on time: Make a habit of
coming 5 minutes early. It shows
that you are disciplined and
could show similar level of
discipline in your work.
Commandment 4 Thou shall
keep thy desk clean: Be as
organized as you can be. This
would prove that you can
efficiently organize your tasks as
well.
Commandment 5 Thou shall
behave: Brush up your office
etiquettes and always respect
your as well as your colleague’s
working space.
1. Take 5 minute breaks after
completion of every task so
that your brain can prepare
itself for the next one.
2. Take a small walk every once
in a while to relax your joints
and bones as sitting for hours
in front of the computer can
harm you.
Healthy Work Hours - Enjoying your job is critical for better work productivity.
Even if you're in the right field and in
your dream job, you probably still
need to 'fine tune' things and make
an effort to keep pace with the work
pressure that your job demands.
Companies have realized that
physical and mental fitness in
employees boosts their morale,
enhances productivity, and reduces
absenteeism and signs of burnout or
depression.
Here are some easy everyday
things you can do to get healthy
and fit while at your workplace:
1. Nobody enjoys working in a tense
atmosphere all the time. Make
sure you keep the environment
positive and cheerful to enjoy
your work more.
2. Practice deep breathing
exercises for 5 -10 minutes in
between breaks.
3. Climb stairs instead of using the
elevator.
4. The height of your desk and chair
should be designed keeping
ergonomic principles in mind, to
avoid back and neck aches.
5. Lassi, coconut water and
buttermilk are better drink options
over tea and coffee.
6. Try to do some simple stretching
while sitting on the chair in your
cabin like flexing your feet and
circling your ankles. Stretch your
legs and arms when you feel
stressed out.
