Welcome to CEPAT AG

The company for thermoplastic products in the mountains of Grisons


About us

CEPAT AG was founded in 1992 in Chur, which is located in the canton Graubünden in Switzerland and has set the task of providing need-based thermoplastics to customers in the technical area with focus on the automotive industry. We focus on granules which can be processed in modern melt-print systems. Customers’ demands are carefully examined in order to develop and deliver the products according to their needs. Through specialization and restriction on thermoplastic products we have reached an outstanding competence in this narrow area.
This competence will be expanded continuously and leads to a marked leadership in the automotive sector through a constant quality improvement.
We offer a great range of thermoplastic products sold throughout the world under the commercial name Cepatex and are continuously developing new products to satisfy the shifting needs of the market.
We want to use our experience and know-how combined with the outstanding quality of our specially designed products to improve our leading market position in the automotive industry and to further concentrate on special textile applications.

Products

CEPAT AG provides copolyesters, copolyamides and polyester elastomers commercialized under the name Cepatex. Our portfolio comprises a large range of products with a great variety of physical properties.
All Cepatex Products are pure thermoplastics and therefore fully recyclable.

Plasticizers-free
Tin-free (fulfills regulations like Oeko-Tex)
No residual monomers (car application)
No volatile components


Our products can contain a small amount of additives such as wax, stearate and optical brightener

Copolyamides

We offer a wide range of Copolyamides in granular form, to meet the requirements of our customers as best as possible.


Our Cepatex Copolyamides are:

Heat-stabilized
Based on Caprolactam or Caprolactam-free

Our products can contain a a small amount of additives such as wax, stearate and optical brightener

Polyester Elastomers

We offer a wide range of Polyester Elastomers in granular form, to meet the requirements of our customers as best as possible.


These are types of thermoplastic engineering polymers consisting of rigid and flexible blocks in the same polymer chain. Varying the structure and the size of these blocks it is possible to achieve different properties of polymers. Excellent flexibility, resistance to high temperatures and good chemical resistance combined with high impact strength are the most remarkable features. The full range of polymers includes products with different shore hardness, melting temperatures and application temperature (-50° C to 150 ° C). Shore hardness and flexibility are between vulcanized rubber and traditional thermoplastic polymers. Polyester Elastomers are fully thermoplastic and can be processed as the traditional engineering plastics (Extrusion, blow molding, injection and rotational molding).
