About
Nexam Chemical

Nexam Chemical develops technology and products that make it
possible to
significantly improve the production process and properties of most
types of
plastics in a cost-effective manner and with retained production
technology. The
improved properties include strength, toughness, temperature
and chemical
resistance as well as service life. The improvements in properties
that can be
achieved by using Nexam Chemical's technology make it possible to
replace metals
and other heavier or more expensive materials with plastics in a
number of
applications. In applications where plastic is already used, Nexam
Chemicals
products can improve the manufacturing process, reducing material use
and enable
more environmental friendly alternatives. Example of commercial
applications:
pipe manufacturing, foam production and high-performance
plastics. More
