Hot Melt
Compared to classical adhesives, hot melt score with various features: the products can be processed fast and acquire the respective properties when they cool off without hardening for solvent-based or reaction for 2-component systems.
Bioplastic materials
Bioplastics have already existed for a very long time. The first industrially produced plastics were cellulose-based and produced industrially as of 1869 and casein, which was produced in large quantities at the beginning of the 20th century as so-called synthetic horn.
Polycarbonate compounds
The polycarbonate-based (PA) compounds belong to the group of technical plastics. The term “engineering plastics” is often used.
Polyamide compounds
The polyamide-based (PA) compounds belong to the group of technical plastics. The term “engineering plastics” is often used.
PBT / PET compounds
The polymers PET and PBT belong to the polyester family. PET can both exist as amorphous molding material (PET A) and as partially crystalline material (PET C).
Fluoropolymers
Fluoropolymers are undoubtedly part of the high-performance polymer family. The polymer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was discovered per chance by Plunkett at DuPont in 1938.
Bitumen
Bitumen is a thermoplastic material, this means that its viscosity is temperature-dependent: when heated, it passes continuously through all states from solid to viscous until it becomes thin between 150 °C and 200 °C.
Natural fiber-reinforced plastics
For many centuries, people used natural materials as primary materials. Wood was used for building houses and ships, flax and hemp fibre were processed as ropes and technical textiles such as sails and grain sacks.
FRTP fillers
The integration of fillers into a plastic matrix follows two basic targets: improved specific material properties of the compound, for example here breathable foils or films or sound-absorbing tubes and cost savings.
PVC cable compounds
Depending on the requirements profile, different plastics are used for manufacturing cable insulation with BUSS compounding systems. These include polyolefins, TPE, PPE, EEFE, PVA and naturally flexible PVC cable compounds.
