Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, An Alternative?
...mobile or electrical industries have been and are the mainspring of constant further development of the compounds and their production processes. Thus Kraiburg TPE, Waldkraiburg, is opening up a completely new field with its SEBS compounds (grade: Thermolast K, IC/K series). Conceived to be used for keypads and whole keyboards (title photo) these materials are possible replacements for silicone rubber. Kraiburg carried out the development in the context of a co-operative project with N.I.R.A. Gm...
Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Elastomers: Flexible and Customised
...to be insulated and remain flexible so that in the event of a fire they do not act as a “fire bridge”, as well as welding cables, automotive components, insulation and connectors. New hydrated styrene block copolymers from Kraiburg TPE (Thermolast K) can be sterilised with gamma radiation, ethylene oxide or steam. This additional option of food compatibility opens up a wide field of application for these materials in medical technology and laboratory supplies. Inhalation/exhalation valves produc...
Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)
...lour-fast, and has high-quality, soft haptics. TPE in EDP Appliances Kraiburg TPE GmbH, Waldkraiburg/Germany, has developed transparent TPE-S compounds as a low-cost alternative to silicone for keyboard mats (Fig.7). The manufacturer of these Thermolast K products highlights their advantageous flow behaviour and their good resilience, including under continuous load. According to Kraiburg, the keyboard mats will withstand 20 million operating cycles without any problems, and are suitable for ...
Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Two-component Injection Moulding: New Hard-soft Combinations of POM and TPU
...arried out as a function of the hard components to determine their different suitability for two-component combinations (see Table5, Fig.3). For this purpose, the POM/TPU bond strengths were related to the average value of the two POM/Thermolast (SEBS) bond strength values (referred to below as the SCV = selected comparative value). This was justified because the bond strengths of the two series of combinations with the SEBS grades did not differ significantly. The SCV ranged between 1.3 and 2.2...
Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Weather-resistant TPE
...tic elastomers (TPE) for outdoor use (title photo) are gaining increasing importance. The main reason for this are their good elastic properties, together with the fact that they can be processed like thermoplastics. Styrene block copolymers (grade: Thermolast K, manufacturer: Gummiwerk Kraiburg, Waldkraiburg/Germany) display very good compounding properties as basic polymers. This then permits specially tailored, customized materials to be developed with considerably improved weather resistance...
Kunststoffe international, 2007-01-22, Also for High Temperatures
...astomer phase distributed in the thermoplastic phase [3]. If the distribution of thermoplastic and elastomer phases is not fine enough, acceptable mechanical properties and processing characteristics are not obtained. During production of the new Thermolast V family of TPES-V products by means of dynamic vulcanisation in a twin-screw extruder, a phase morphology forms that – in addition to thermoplastic and elastic phases as a substructure of the elastic phase on the nanometer scale – exhibits p...

...ented one further important factor. The rigid carrier for the louvers is molded from glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6; grade: Schulamid GF 30 H, supplier: A. Schulman GmbH), the flexible lips from the thermoplastic elastomer (TPS) (grade: Thermolast TC6PAZ-C200, supplier: Kraiburg TPE GmbH). The housing is molded from glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (grade: Polyfort PP GF 30, supplier: A. Schulman GmbH). With regard to material selection, resistance to numerous substances and chemica...

...lastic elastomers is continually expanding, thanks to their ease of processing, very good mechanical properties, and many different design possibilities. For underhood applications, Kraiburg TPE GmbH & Co KG, Waldkraiburg, Germany, has developed Thermolast V, a material specially customized to meet the demanding requirements of the automotive sector. The material is characterized by properties such as high long-term thermal stability, good adhesion to polyamide, and excellent compression set...

... thickness from 1mm to 2 mm. Both samples show a uniform peeling behavior at different force levels (Fig. 4). In contrast, the material combinations of PC (grade: Makrolon 2458) and an adhesion-modified TPS (grade: Thermolast TM4ADT; manufacturer: Kraiburg TPE GmbH & Co. KG in Waldkraiburg, Germany) are peeled with a constant force, regardless of their thickness.Material combinations known for their outstanding adhesion, such as PP (grade: Purell HP570R; manufacturer: LyondellBasell Industries B...
