4. Green
Composites
Positive image
Environmentally
friendly materials
Minimal ecological
impact and footprint
• Renewable resources in significant role –
fossil raw material resources replaced
• Reduction of GHG-emissions, very
favourable CO2 balance and ecological
footprint
• Easily recycled
• Energy saving in processing
• No competition with human food
production resources
5. Future Touch
and Feel
New design possibilities
”Eco Ivory”
Ageing with dignity
• Silky, smooth and dry touch – not plasticlike
• Beautiful and living surface
• Natural effects, close to wood, stone etc.,
but not an imitation or surface treatment
• Genuine and solid – thoroughly - ageing
beautifully
• Customized colours
6. Technical
Superiority
Cost-efficient and
accurate injection
moulding
New surface
possibilities
Integration of other
materials
• No sink marks, accuracy of dimensions
and form
• Adjustable acoustic properties, mechanical
properties
• No abrasive fillers - minimal wearing of tools
and machines
• New possibilities for plastic surface
treatment – oil, wax...
• Efficient integration of other materials –
plastics, metals, wood
• Savings in production - Cycle time in
moulding is typically 10-50 % shorter than for
comparable normal plastics
• Withstands freezing temperatures and
boiling water
7. Kareline® materials
are fibre reinforced
Kareline® PPMS
(PP)
Kareline® ABMS (ABS)
Kareline® PSMS (PS)
Kareline® POMS (POM)
Kareline® PLMS (PLA)
• Indoor/outdoor furniture, tool handles,
massive technical components, consumer
goods
• Technical or decorative parts in automotive
or electronic industries, covers of
appliances, handles
• To products where excellent surface quality
or fascinating outlook are desired
• For technical applications, where low-friction
surface, high stiffness and good impact
resistance are needed
• Compostable products, disposables and
packaging
8. Combine the excellent properties of natural fibers and thermoplastics in a new
and innovative way
Offer a whole new possibility to manufacture green products that comply
with environmental and recycling requirements
Are based on PP, ABS, PS, POM and PLA plastics matrix
Standard and customized granulates
The reinforcing fibres (from 10 to 55 weight%) used are wood-based cellulose
fibres manufactured in the most ecologically advanced mills in the world from
environmentally certified wood.
Primarily for easy injection moulding - Secondarily for extrusion moulding
Can be moulded in all standard thermoplastic injection moulding machines
and tools
