Blending

After the raw material is attentively selected, it is blended according to formulas developed, approved, and tested by the company. Borflex Rex SA owns internal mixing lines and open mill compounders. The product is kept under constant control while onto the lines. The tests implemented on the material are standard, or agreed with the clients, according to their own requirements and those of the product’s final application itself. The entire procedure is monitored and traceability is guaranteed from the blending phase, up to the finalization. Special attention is paid to optimizing energy consumption, use of the raw material, and to production schedules. Borflex Rex SA can use up to 6000 Kg of raw materials per day.
