In 2022, Pluskim reached another significant milestone by commissioning its High-Pressure Machine and Application Center, specifically designed to serve the Flexible and Rigid polyurethane sectors. This investment marked an important step forward in enhancing production precision, supporting customers with real-time application testing, and strengthening our position as a solution-oriented system house.
High-pressure technology plays a vital role in polyurethane processing, especially in industries requiring consistent density, accurate mixing ratios, improved cell structure, and superior mechanical properties. With this new facility, Pluskim gained the ability to simulate real production environments and provide custom-formulated polyurethane systems tested directly on high-pressure equipment before mass production.
The Application Center was established not only as a test laboratory, but as a collaborative innovation hub. Here, customers and partners are able to test flexible foam systems, rigid insulation materials, footwear formulations, and integral skin foams using high-pressure machines. This hands-on approach allows Pluskim to offer faster technical support, improved problem-solving capabilities, and tailor-made chemical solutions suited to various production lines.
The investment also aligned with Pluskim’s focus on R&D, sustainability, and process efficiency. By using high-pressure technology, chemical waste is minimized, mixing accuracy is improved, and PU systems can be optimized for reduced VOC emissions, better energy efficiency, and longer product lifespan. This reflects the company’s guiding principle: “Chemistry for Good”—developing solutions that add value to industry while respecting people and the environment.
Furthermore, the new center allowed Pluskim’s technical team to develop specialized formulations for shoe sole systems, insulation panels, automotive components, furniture foams, and rigid industrial applications. Each trial conducted within this facility contributes to deeper know-how, enhanced product performance, and increased customer satisfaction.
The activation of the High-Pressure Machine and Application Center in 2022 was not merely a capacity upgrade; it represented a strategic transformation towards innovation-driven production. It strengthened Pluskim’s expertise, reinforced its competitiveness, and created a strong foundation for future advancements in polyurethane technologies.
Today, this center continues to support manufacturers, designers, and engineers by turning ideas into high-performance PU solutions—proving once more that Pluskim is not only a producer, but a trusted technology partner.
