RAMPF Advanced Polymers, the new company of the international RAMPF Group, officially started operations on Monday, July 1. RAMPF Advanced Polymers was established by merging RAMPF Eco Solutions, RAMPF Polymer Solutions, and RAMPF Tooling Solutions. RAMPF Group reports that with a large product and solution portfolio, global R&D capacities, and a pioneering closed-loop recycling approach, the newly organized company is setting new standards in polymer chemistry. 

RAMPF Advanced Polymers is a leading developer and manufacturer of reactive resin systems based on polyurethane, epoxy, silicone, and silane-modified polymers. The company’s portfolio includes: sealing systems, electro and engineering casting resins, edge and filter casting resins, and adhesives; board and liquid materials for model and mold engineering; and chemical solutions for the manufacture of customized recycled polyols based on polyurethane, PET, and PIR residues. These high-performance polymers are used worldwide in a wide range of industries – from automotive and electromobility, electrics/electronics and white goods to aerospace, foundry, furniture, and mattresses.

RAMPF Advanced Polymers’ products and solutions are manufactured in Germany, the United States, and China, ensuring a high level of supply security. The R&D activities at these locations are now coordinated and managed centrally. The RAMPF Group's chemical expertise is thus pooled across departments and countries. The resulting synergies will significantly accelerate the development of new and the improvement of existing products.

RAMPF has been dedicated to the chemical recycling of polyurethane since 1992. The company processes its own production residues as well as those from customers. The resulting recycled polyols are used in both the products of customers and RAMPF companies. This unique closed-loop approach will be pursued even more consistently within RAMPF Advanced Polymers with the aim of further increasing the number of products manufactured using recycled or bio-based raw materials.

Dr. Christian Weber and Peter Barwitzki, CEOs of RAMPF Advanced Polymers, explained, "With our new company, we are taking our chemical product and system solution portfolio to a new level – sustainably and worldwide. With more than 1,000 formulations, we offer customers an all-encompassing product portfolio for a wide range of industries and applications. Our concentrated R&D expertise ensures that we can react very quickly to our customers’ requirements and devote ourselves to fundamental basic research. 

"We particularly look forward to advancing our closed-loop approach for the recycling of plastic waste even more consistently as part of RAMPF Advanced Polymers. Protecting our environment has always been an intrinsic motivation of the RAMPF Group, both ecologically and economically. This also reflects our sense of responsibility towards society. 

"With the outstanding expertise, motivation, commitment, and creativity of our more than 220 employees, we will offer our customers and partners even more and even better chemical products and solutions."
