For the Windows of the Future – New Ultradur® Grade improves the Properties of PVC-Window Profiles
Modern insulation is a key to effective climate protection, and this also applies to window profiles in new and renovated buildings. BASF has developed an Ultradur® that can be used for co-extrusion with PVC and is now available with a significantly improved property profile.
„Two Premiers and New Campaigns“
In late March 2020 the world’s No. 1 trade fairs for wire, cable and tube, wire and Tube, will once again open their doors in Düsseldorf. What’s new about the two trade fairs? There are a number of new features at the industry highlights wire and Tube but also at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre proper. Friedrich-Georg Kehrer, Global Portfolio Director for Metals and Flow Technologies, tells us more in this interview.
Smart Granulator sets New Standards
With the Ultraplex 1000 UP fine impact mill, HosokawaAlpine will show a versatile mill for the size reduction of soft materials to 3.5 Mohs’ hardness at wire 2020 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Dependent on the feed material, the fine impact mill can be equipped simply and quickly with different, interchangeable grinding elements.
Perfect Waves – New Inspection System excels as Quality Checker of Corrugated Tubing
With the new inline gauge ProfilControl 7 S Corrugated Tube developed by PIXARGUS it is now possible to inspect the complete wavy structure of corrugated tubing gaplessly.
Automation Trends in Materials Testing
ZwickRoell offers a wide range of possibilities for automation in materials testing. Testing systems range from efficient automation of small series tests using collaborating robots in the lab to fully automated testing laboratories that work around the clock.
First COMPEO Compounding System for Color Masterbatch in Operation
Only announced to the plastics industry in the run-up to K 2019, a COMPEO 88 compounder from BUSS is already in industrial use. The first user is a multinational masterbatch manufacturer, which has been producing color masterbatches with this system since late October 2019.
