OUR STORY
Relationship with main international players of polymers market, Euro funds, cooperation with Universities and R&D Insitutes, awards, patents.
PERFORMANCES
VELA® products have been tested in many different application with big success. Mechanical properties, flammability, workability, price.
APPLICATIONS
Many segments of international markets have successful tested VELA®: automotive, electrical, household appliances, constructions, extrusion.
WHO
VELAWORKS is a Slovak company that by the partecipation to several European projects financed by EU, has established international relationships with main players of polymers markets.
The focus of the company is to develop new Flame Retardants with “Halogen-free” and “Circular Economy” formulations.
The Italian company Caldara Plast s.r.l. is the industrial partner that offers the compounds done with the new formulations created by VELAWORKS (patent pending).
PA6 created with first choice or regenerated polyamide.
2017 – BEST BUSINESS IDEA
In 2017 EIT-Raw Materials has declared one of VELAWORKS project as “Best Business Idea”.
2017 – QUO VADIS AWARD
In 2017 the Technical University of Kosice (Slovakia) awarded VELAWORKS as winner of the international prize QUO VADIS.
2018 – WAPOL
Partecipation to project WAPOL funded by EIT-Raw Materials.
2021 – PATENT PENDING
Apply for a new generation of Flame Retardant based on Halogen-free formulation.
WHAT
The PA6 filled with glass fibers is the most interesting of the VELA® family products: very good mechanical properties, excellent behaviour at fire, outstanding workability.
The PA6 filled with glass fiber is the most interesting product of VELA® family: very good mechanical properties, flammability V0 grade according to UL94, Glow Wire 960/875. Excellent workability.
FLAMMABILITY
The main value is the behaviour to fire. According to UL94 VELA® reaches V0 grade at 0,8 mm
GLOW WIRE
According to standard CEI 60695-2 our material reaches for 960/2 for GWFI and 875/2 for GWIT
MECHANICALS
VELA® products, depending on several possibility of mix graduation present always good mechanical properties (i.e. Young’s modulus 9.500 MPa as ASTM D638 for PA6 filled with glass fibers by 25%)
WORKABILITY
The plus of VELA®: in extrusion and injection molding processes the procedures and the parameters are pretty much standard and no particular precautions or changes are needed
