Braskem, the largest producer of thermoplastic resins in the Americas, will be presenting its latest innovations during Feiplastic - the largest trade show of the plastic sector in Latin America, to be held on April 3-7 at Expo Center Norte , in São Paulo, SP. In this edition, the Company will be displaying solutions developed in plastic and chemistry, serving customers of diverse segments in more than 70 countries.

In Braskem's space, visitors will be able to learn about the different applications of polyethylene, polypropylene and PVC resins applied in solutions of various segments such as packaging and automotive. One of the highlights will be the Wecycle platform, created with the aim of developing initiatives for the utilization of plastic waste, bringing reliability and quality to solutions and processes that involve the links in the plastic recycling chain.

"Braskem has been evolving a lot over the years in the search for innovations for the sector, in a work that is integrated with the customers. With close attention, we have been able to develop solutions that meet the most diverse needs, from the search for productivity to more sustainable products. As examples, we have the Wecycle platform, the Braskem Flexus Cling solution, and the Maxio seal," said Edison Terra, Vice President of the Polyolefins, Renewables and Europe unit.

Attentive to market trends and committed to offering customers complete solutions, another innovation is the presentation, to the Brazilian market, of the brand Braskem Amppleo, a polypropylene resin with High Melt Strength properties. Used in the manufacture of foams, it is one of the most efficient alternatives for the automotive, industrial, appliance, packaging and civil construction markets. Besides withstanding temperatures up to 100°C, the material can be fully recycled.

Another highlight is Braskem Flexus Cling, specially developed for stretch film extrusion, used by industries to protect cargo during transportation. The new solution stands out for its high resistance and load retention, with excellent grip performance, even at low temperatures. The films are 100% produced by Braskem.

To identify its broad portfolio, with strategic solutions for the rigid resins segment, the Company presents its new brand, Braskem Rigeo. The highlight of the line is Braskem Rigeo Lumios, a resin that provides greater gloss and better finish to rigid blown packages. The priority markets for the new application include cosmetics, hygiene and cleaning, and food. The innovation provides packaging with a gloss film, better finish and intense colors, ensuring more visibility to the product on the shelves and to the consumers.

In the schedule of events, it will also be possible to check innovations developed by Braskem, which focus especially on ensuring greater competitiveness and the insertion of sustainability in products and processes, such as the resins of the Maxio seal, which was created to identify resins with greater potential to bring efficiency during processing and product design, as well as a reduced environmental impact.

Green Plastic, a polyethylene of 100% renewable origin that uses sugarcane as its raw material, will also be present at the show with new applications. Currently, it is used in products of over 150 brands, in segments such as food packaging, cosmetics, dairy beverages, bags, etc.

PICPlast (Incentive Plan for the Plastic Chain), an initiative by Braskem and the Brazilian Association of the Plastic Industry (ABIPLAST), will have an exclusive space in the booth, announcing its deliveries in its three years of operation. The actions of Movimento Plástico Transforma and tools to support financial management will be offered exclusively to visitors at the show. The participation of PICPlast is part of a series of activities planned by the program to promote actions that encourage innovation, competitiveness and sustainable development in the Brazilian plastic processing industry.
