Washing machine

Washing machine uses materials from the Quattor polypropylene family of products. The Suggar line of washers is manufactured using two families of polypropylenes, the nanotechnology-manufactured Diya family and the extremely high transparency Luzz family. The Diya 721 product is used in the washer basin and confers antibacterial properties to the drum, eliminating possible contaminations caused by successive use and/or by the accumulation of residues. The Luzz 730 is the solution adopted for the lid of the washer, providing the desired transparency, which is the main characteristic of this family of polymers; however, in conjunction with the lower density and the high impact resistance as compared to the materials previously used, it provides a better cost/benefit ratio to the solution. The Quattor and Suggar teams demonstrated that consumers recognized the differences in the products with the use of these innovative materials: the 2008 sales were significantly higher compared to the same period in 2007.


Diya

With a drive to innovate, Quattor developed a nanotechnology family of products: the Diya.
This polypropylene product family has differentiating properties, such as: bactericide, scratch and flame resistance, and ultraviolet radiation absorption.
Quattor's portfolio already has a commercial resin with nanotechnology. The product is available under the name Diya 721. It is a special resin targeted to the injection and anti-bacterial markets. Other products are in pilot project phase and the plan is to have them commercially available starting in 2009.

Luzz

Launched in 2008, the Luzz family of products is the latest choice for those who want high transparency along with other polypropylene (PP) properties. Available for injection and blow applications, the Luzz family of products provides almost unlimited possibilities in design, texture and colors. The versatility of this new family of products is outstanding; it goes from the freezer to the microwave, has excellent transparency at a thickness of around 2 mm and allows for high temperature product packaging.

All these characteristics ensure the advantage of the Luzz family over other materials currently used in the manufacturing of packaging, as well as in other well known products such as: blender cups, home appliance bodies, water containers, household utensils and other applications.
