On August 8, 2018, US Americhem is expanding its business capabilities in Suzhou plant to introduce a new and advanced extrusion production line for soft polymer modified products.
  The new extrusion production line will use fully automated underwater pelletizing to ensure the process of soft materials such as TPE and TPU and meet the increasing demand of soft tactile requirements in the world, especially in the Asia Pacific region. The new production line also includes imported high-end twin-screw extruder with side feed, liquid feed system and large drying hopper. The Suzhou plant is fully equipped to handle a variety of systems, including sinks, conveyor belts, and high speed strong mixer with high-efficiency mixtures for all formulations.
  Zhou Qinglai, Americhem business manager of engineering plastics, said, “In the past, we have been purchasing TPE materials from US factories to serve the Asian market. And now, this material can be produced in China. Suzhou plant has passed ISO9001 and ISO14001 certification and obtained the certificate, as well as the ISO13485 certificate required for polymer and coloring engineering plastics in medical applications. Therefore, we look forward to providing more efficient service for TPE/TPU customers after the completion of the new production line in the third quarter of 2018. ”
