Advanced Polymer Trading, an international trading company specialising in the world wide trade of rubber and plastics, will be at Interpack 2014, one of the world’s most important trade fairs for the packaging sector and related processing industries, which will be held from 8 May 2014 to 14 May 2014 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

This year’s Interpack event will take up around 174,000 square metres of floor space and host around 2,700 exhibitors from a range of packaging related industries including food and beverages, confectionery and baked goods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and non-food consumer goods.

APT has often taken an active role in international trade shows and exhibitions. As an international trading company APT has partners and suppliers all over the world and events like Interpack allow the company to increase its supply network, meet existing partners and create new business opportunities. This year APT will be joined at stand D63 in Hall 10 by representatives of Mitsui Chemical and Kuraray.

Over the 160,000 visitors to the last Interpack event, over 1,150 were accredited journalists and over 22% of the companies represented employed over 1,000 people. This demonstrates the impact of this event and its importance as a trade event.

APT Launch New Project with Mitsui Chemical Europe and EVAL Europe to Develop New Milk Packaging

Advanced Polymer Trading FZC has launched a new project with Mitsui Chemical Europe and EVAL Europe to develop the usage of ADMER and EVAL in milk packaging.

Advanced Polymer Trading (APT), an international trading company specialising in the world wide trade of rubber, plastics and petrochemicals, has started a new project together with Mitsui Chemical Europe and EVAL Europe to develop new ways of using ADMER and EVAL in milk packaging.

EVAL Europe’s EVOH copolymer resins are particularly suited for food applications where it acts as a functional barrier. Keeping oxygen out, an EVAL layer can preserve the flavour and the quality of the milk and protect sensitive vitamin content.

ADMER adhesive resin, manufactured by Mitsui Chemical Europe, is a functionally modified polyolefin that serves as a tie layer in multilayer applications such as films used for food packaging. These special films contain barrier materials such as EVAL to protect the filling from oxygen, odors and UV-light and thus prolong the shelf-life of the packed goods.

This new venture with Mitsui Chemical Europe and EVAL Europe builds on the existing agreements already in place with APT.
