Circular Economy: REIMAGINE, REUSE AND RENEW

Polyester Polyol Synthesis from PET Bottle Wastes and Commercial Use in Polyurethane Systems

Unveil the ingenuity behind Kimpur’s polyester polyol – repurposed from PET bottle waste into high-quality, eco-friendly materials for slippers. The system doesn’t compromise their physical and mechanical properties compared to standard systems. We are able to obtain roughly 20% of the polyester polyol used in the production of slippers from PET waste and roughly 17% from bio based raw materials. Since it enables the production of slippers with the first elastic structure made from PET waste, this technology is unique.

Experience firsthand how these advancements preserve both the robustness of the materials and the planet.

Graphene-Based KIMflex^® Sound Insulation Systems

Light vehicle design has gained major importance in the automotive industry in order to save energy With composite parts used in new
generation vehicles, fuel consumption is reduced by making the vehicle lighter

Hence, it is known that polyurethane systems, with their lightness feature, provide loss of weight in vehicles and create less emissions with less use of energy. Therefore, polyurethane systems are frequently preferred in the automotive industry, from vehicle seat production to sound insulation. Graphene, being defined as the miracle material of recent years, has further strengthened this feature of polyurethane foam Thanks to their lightness, graphene based polyurethane foams increase the performance of sound insulation without affecting the total weight of the car. As a result of studies performed, it has been determined that graphene based sound insulation systems provide up to 65% improvement in sound absorption compared to standard systems.

Graphene Based KIMflex^®  HR Foam Systems

By utilizing graphene, a carbon based recycling material obtained from automotive tires, in the production of HR Foam Systems used in the production of automotive and office seats, We improve the mechanical properties of our products without requiring the use of extra materials, while both preventing material consumption and reducing carbon dioxide emissions in its production. Improvements in the mechanical properties of HR foam systems obtained with the use of graphene compared to standard systems were observed, and the test results are given in Table 2.

Innovative Systems: Harnessing Compatibility with New Generation Blowing Agents

KIMcool^® Refrigerator System

Introducing our latest innovation in refrigeration technology: the KIMcool^® refrigerator system, designed to harmonize seamlessly with new generation bloing agents. With our cutting-edge energy-efficient insulation, we’ve achieved up to 15% energy savings compared to traditional systems.

By incorporating state-of-the-art refrigerants, our KIMcool^®  system not only preserves your food but also helps preserve the planet. In fact, by using our energy-efficient insulation, a single refrigerator can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 77 kg annually. To put that into perspective, 77 kg of CO₂ emissions is equivalent to the emissions produced by an average diesel car traveling approximately 370 km.

Experience the future of refrigeration with KIMcool^®   where sustainability meets innovation.
