About Ambofluor
Ambofluor is a provider specialized in fluoropolymers based in Hamburg. Under the amboflon® brand, the company distributes virgin-material and regranulate granulates of PVDF, ETFE, FEP and PFA as well as high-performance plastics such as PEEK, among other things as virgin-material granulate, regranulate and regrind. In addition, Ambofluor develops customer-specific compounds with fillers such as glass fiber, glass beads, carbon fiber or graphite as well as matching color masterbatches. The recycling of fluorinated and high-performance thermoplastics into regranulates complements the portfolio; the purchase of single-stream recyclable materials and their processing into metal-free, dedusted regrind are part of this offering. The products are REACH registered and find application, among other things, in medical technology, pharmaceuticals, the chemical industry, renewable energies, electronics and the semiconductor industry. With over 300 active processor customers worldwide and more than 7,000 tonnes of plastics sold, Ambofluor supplies customers internationally.
