ISOPREN: Custom Compounds and Sustainability for Mountain Applications

During the episode, Andrea Belussi described Isopren’s commitment to developing rubber solutions for mountain applications, a sector in which the company is a recognised reference thanks to the production of components for both cableway systems and snow groomers. This activity is based on a fully integrated in-house production process, from compound development through to the manufacturing of the finished product.

One of Isopren’s distinguishing strengths is its ability to develop custom compounds engineered according to specific operating conditions and customers’ technical requirements. This expertise is complemented by support in component design, with the aim of ensuring quality, functionality and high performance.

The video also highlights a concrete commitment to sustainability, which Isopren considers a tangible value rather than a mere statement. The company is actively pursuing several initiatives in this direction, including the development of a new sustainable compound made with ingredients sourced from low environmental impact resources. A particularly significant achievement is a new formulation capable of reducing CO₂ equivalent emissions by 50%, while maintaining the mechanical properties required for the relevant applications.
