• Project Size : 50,000 - 250,000 €

We are looking for a technology to seal paper packaging materials (paper only with no plastic coating) without using traditional glues or any other additive. For a sustainable packaging application, we're looking for a technology to seal or crimp kraft paper without using glue or plastic coating applied on the paper. Ideally, we want to seal 100% untreated paper without adding any other chemicals. Our preferred solution would be a folding of the packaging material

Magnesium Alloys with Improved Castability

Magnesium alloys are lightweight and so provide the best solution for reducing weight in the transport sector. However increasing the use of these alloys to replace steel has been hampered by their lack of ductility and low yield strength. This is due to the large grain structure, defects and inter‑metallic particles formed during casting. New magnesium alloys produced using a novel Magnesium Boride grain refiner have a much finer structure with fewer defects, resulting in improved ductility and strength in addition to reduced defects during casting and ease of casting complex shapes.
