THE INOVYN Awards: Chemson Wins the Innovation Award for 3D Vinyl

The winners of this year’s INVOYN Awards have been announced and the best innovations in the PVC industry were recently presented at an award ceremony held during the K 2016 Trade Fair in Düsseldorf. A total of 72 projects from all over the world were submitted to the jury of experts for consideration.

The main award in the category of Product Innovation was presented to the AGPU member company Chemson Polymer-Additive in Arnoldstein, Austria, for 3D Vinyl, its filament for 3D printing. According to the company, 3D Vinyl offers all of the benefits of PVC and is in addition more cost-efficient than other filaments on the market, as well as being particularly ideal for use in the industrial sector of manufacturing, for example the production of prototypes and final components.
