Reducing water consumption

At Chem-Trend, we are committed to sustainable practices. Water conservation is a key focus across our global facilities. Our Norderstedt location has implemented several highly efficient solutions on-site to sustainably reduce our consumption of water.

SprayIQ™ technology measures the amount of release agent applied per spray cycle. As soon as the spraying begins, you’ll know your volume and when your threshold has been reached.

Reduction of production waste

Discover the path to a smaller ecological footprint in our German production plant and find out how we want to achieve our goal by 2025: Minimise production waste to just 4% of the total production volume.

At our heart, we’ve always been a problem-solving company. From our humble beginnings as a kitchen-sink operation to our global expansion, finding new ways to help you improve your operation is our purpose.

The capability to simulate real production conditions of polyurethane molding is critical in engineering industry-leading release agents. Evaluating and improving our mold release agents helps our customers perform at their highest efficiency, quality, and sustainability. Watch the video to see the high pressure injection molding system in action.

The Chem-Trend Ultra Purge™ 3615 purging compound is designed for fast residue free cleaning and easy screw pulls. Users benefit from considerably less scrap, more consistent process quality finally resulting in higher production efficiency.

Chem-Trend’s experienced R&D team continuously works to develop advanced release agents, purging compounds, and mold maintenance products that allow thermoplastic processors to improve product quality, and reduce downtime and scrap rate.
