Epaflex was founded in 1991 in Cassolnovo (Italy) as a system house dedicated to manufacture and
supply polyurethane systems to the footwear industry. Over the years Epaflex grew continuosly and
differentiated its activities, by adding production of TPU granules to serve a wide range of industries,
and production of PU chemicals and systems for CASE applications.
Together with the mother company Elachem, located in Vigevano (Italy), Epaflex forms a powerful and
sizeable integrated industrial group, with a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant of saturated polyester
resins. This upstream integration provides Epaflex scale, control and flexibility to play a competitive role
in the global TPU market.
Epaflex is proud to offer 6 tailored product families that have been specifically designed for the
requirements of the targeted applications
- EPAMOULD, for demanding injection molding applications
- EPALINE, designed for technical extrusion applications
- EPACOL, for producers of solvent-borne adhesives
- EPALITE, to meet the requirements of fashion and footwear designers
- EPAMET, to offer bio-based products with no compromises on performance
- PAKOFLEX, for production of vegan leather via coagluation process
