KRAIBURG Exhibits at NPE 2018 in Orlando

KRAIBURG TPE, a global leading in the manufacturing of elastomeric compounds, exhibits its solutions portfolio at NPE 2018 in Orlando, Fla., Mat 7-1. 2018. KRAIBURG TPE’s Booth will be located at South Hall Booth S31181.

KRAIBURG ‘s exhibition will be focused on a broad range of market applications:

Solutions for Automotive Exterior Applications

KRAIBURG TPE will present its EPDM – Adhesion series. This series is targeted towards automotive exterior components as a material solution for applications requiring high UV and weather resistance and optimal adhesion to rubber. With the AD/EPDM/UV series, customers benefit from low processing temperatures that guarantee short cycle times and do not interfere with the flock coating process. Further advantages include long-term process stability and ideal initial adhesion, which is needed for the ejection of parts. When exposed to heat or UV radiation, the EPDM – Adhesion series compounds do not exhibit any oil bleed-out or stickiness, and provide impressive color stability. Typical applications include corner molding, doorsills, glass run channels and window encapsulations.

Silky-smooth Compounds for Consumer Electronics

KRAIBURG TPE’s newly launched range the VS/AD/HM series offers silky, satin-smooth surfaces that feature high scratch and abrasion resistance, excellent durability and resistance against chemicals such as sebum oil, creams and common household detergents. The series is designed for consumer electronics applications. The VS/AD/HM series has been specially developed for applications that require a silky and velvety surface, along with excellent adhesion to polar thermoplastic compounds such as PC, ABS, PC/ABS, PU, ASA, SAN, PA12 and PA6. Available in natural color and black, the compounds also have impressive processing properties. Example applications include controllers for games consoles, remote controls and headphones, toys, protective covers for mobile phones, tablets and cosmetics packaging.

Highly-Transparent FDA Compounds with Optimal Flow

Among other innovations, KRAIBURG TPE will also showcase its FC/ht series. This series is the highly transparent material solution for applications such as seals in food packaging, tooth-brush handles, detergent pods and toys. The compounds are characterized by its excellent adhesion to PP as well as its high-flow processing behavior. The series offers a smooth, non-sticky feel and because of its high transparency, it is also ideal for applications requiring custom pigmentation or vibrant colors, a forte of KRAIBURG TPE.

Visitors to KRAIBURG’s Booth S31181 will have the opportunity to touch and see the whole set of solutions, as well as contact technical and commercial staff to learn more about the company and its products.
