Ultra-fine polymer foam leads to completely new opportunities
SUMFOAM® by SUMTEQ GmbH is an innovative high-performance material that enables different applications in the insulation segment, the absorption industry and in the chemical process industry, e.g. as oil binding agent or as carrier material.
SUMTEQ GmbH is a young high-tech start-up focusing on the commercialization of SUMFOAM®, an innovative high-performance material on the basis of polymer nanofoams. Using a disruptive and cost-efficient technology SUMTEQ is world-wide the first company, being able to produce polymer nanofoams on an industrial scale.
SUMFOAM® is characterized by its unique combination of different physical features: pore size in the nanometer range, low density, stable and open-cellular structure as well as a highly hydrophobic surface. These features result on the one hand in a highly efficient insulation performance, on the other hand to an extraordinary absorption capacity of nonpolar fluids. As the foaming process is exclusively performed with climate-friendly CO2 and the product can be recycled 100%, additionally a huge ecological benefit can be achieved.
Due to the scalability and the costs-efficient processes, SUMFOAM® can be offered with an attractive price-performance ratio. This enables different applications in the insulation segment, the absorption industry and in the chemical process industry, e.g. as oil binding agent or as carrier material. SUMFOAM® therefore offers completely new and sustainable material solutions in numerous application segments.
