Roscoms Manufacturing Facility
NanoMaxx™ Product Line
Roscoms latest advancement in the PVC industry
is our innovative NanoMaxx™ product line. This
newly engineered pellet design, provides cost
savings opportunity for manufacturers mainly
due to the accelerated fusion process of the pellet.
Extrusion companies are experiencing an
increased production rate of up to 50% when
running certain extrusion applications that range
from wire & cable, tubing, and small extrusion
profiles. Along with the increased production
rate, energy costs are reduced due to the amount
of AMP pressure needed to run NanoMaxx™. is
drastically less than the standard pellet design
currently being supplied to the plastics industry.
Our NanoMaxx™ product line is also a great
source for color concentrate suppliers as it is
replacing dry blend usage.

Wire & Cable Compounds Available
Roscom has recently isolated a production line which will run
strictly Eco-Friendly, or non-phthalate products. In order for
PVC to run on this line, all raw materials utilized in that formula
must be pre-certified as REACH, RoHS, and California
Proposition65 compliant, and is tested for phthalate levels prior
to use. This production line is installed with dedicated raw
material connections to avoid any possible cross contamination.
We’ve replaced the piping for the bulk unloading system,
storage tanks, feed lines & filters with new equipment to be
100% sure that there is no residual material present as a possible
source for contamination.
The European Chemicals Agency, ECHA, has banned the use of
manufacturing products containing ortho-phthalates & that are
listed under REACH. Registration Evaluation Authorization &
the restriction of CHemical substances were sanctioned in order
to protect human health and the environment from the risks of
harmful chemicals. REACH currently has 205 chemicals
identified as SVHC (Substance of Very High Concern), while
California’s Prop65 contains a list of over 800 naturally
occurring & synthetic chemicals that they have deemed
hazardous.
Non-Phthalate Compounds
While non-phthalate alternatives have been available for years,
they have been significantly more expensive than other
plasticizers. Due to increasing demand, suppliers have
developed technologies and systems that allow cost efficient
production of non-phthalate raw materials. Trends in
environmental regulations suggest that plasticizers such as
DEHP, DOP, DINP and DIDP will be banned by many states
and the manufacturing of these hazardous products will be
regulated.
