Booth T621, in the Polymer Testing World Expo
By Dave Skibinski, President & CEO, FiberX
I’ve worked a lot of trade shows. Most people who stop at our booth have a part to make and a spec to hit, and a budget to hit it on. If a new material doesn’t work in their formulation, they won’t use it.
That’s what we want to talk about in Cleveland.
On November 11 and 12, FiberX will be at AMI Plastics World Expos North America at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland. You’ll find us at Booth T621, in the Technology & Testing Theater area in the Polymer Testing World Expo section, a short walk from the Compounding World Expo hall. The show runs 9 AM to 5 PM both days.
What We Make
After the corn is harvested, the stalks, leaves, cobs and husks stay in the field. That’s corn stover, a harvest residue of corn production.
In Merrillville, Indiana, we turn that stover into fibers and powders for polymers, elastomers and composites. The stover is already out there every fall, and we process it into a feedstock compounders can use.
Grades Made to Your Spec
Compounders usually ask me to show them it’ll fit their process. That’s fair, so we start with what you need and set up the grade from there.
At the booth, we can talk through:
- Fiber and powder grades picked for your application and development goals.
- Milling and separation that put 99.55% of our 60-mesh powder under 250 microns.
- The same processes and quality checks on every batch.
- Our low-density fibers and powders may help reduce finished-part weight, depending on the formulation.
- Feedstocks that can help manage material costs and still meet your application’s requirements.
How our material performs depends on your base material, formulation and loading level. I’d like to sit down with your numbers and work through them with you.
Come Talk to Us
Bring your target material, particle size, fiber length and formulation goals, and we’ll tell you what we know. If you can’t make it to Cleveland, ask us for a product data sheet at sales@fiberxproducts.com.
Why Corn Stover
We call what we do “residue to revenue.” The stalks left in the field after harvest bring farmers some value, and manufacturers get feedstock grown and processed in Indiana and made to spec. Cleveland is where plastics country meets corn country, so it’s a good place to talk about it.
Admission is free for all visitors, and it covers the exhibition and all four conference theaters. Come find us at Booth T621 and tell us what you’re working on.
