UPM ForMi takes root in the electronic industry

June 18 2012  UPM new biocomposite ForMi replaces plastic as the cover material in the mobile phone microscope. A Finnish technology company, KeepLoop, has tested the pulp based material in the manufacturing of a microscope accessory for mobile phones.

“The new biocomposite is an excellent material in the injection moulding production. As a cover material it feels clearly softer and warmer than the traditional PC/ABS polymer plastic”, Jaakko Raukola, the founder of KeepLoop, validates.Cooperation with KeepLoop is significant for UPM because the mobile phone microscope may bring new prospects to the UPM ForMi in consumer electronics and in consumer optics, UPM writes in a press release.”This is an important new launch and a good indication that the range of usage in biocomposites is very extensive. Customers have already used it in furniture manufacturing and in different utility goods. Now we demonstrate that it meets the needs of the electronic industry as well”, the Director of the UPM ForMi business, Stefan Fors, states.UPM ForMi is a recyclable and odorless composite material with consistent quality. It brings new possibilities to injection moulding by combining high-quality to sustainability. UPM ForMi composite granulates are manufactured from clean polymers and pulp.
