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.

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.

Today, the term masterbatch (MB) normally refers to a concentrate of colorants, additives or other ingredients for cleanly and easily achieving specific properties in the end application.

Calender feeding is a system with several heated and polished chill-casting or steel rollers between which the melt, a pre-plasticized molding material from a BUSS Kneader or other materials are fed.

In order to achieve these specific LVT properties, the floor covering is composed of several special layers. This is done classically by separate manufacturing of the compounds using BUSS Kneaders and corresponding calendering processes. The respective layers are compacted in the following process.

During the first half of the 19th century, the creation of PVC from vinyl chloride (VC) was first described. By the time the Second World War ended, it was already the most-produced plastic. Today, industries such as medical technology rely on the unique properties of PVC-P.

Thanks to its good mechanical, electrical and optical properties, as well as excellent chemical resistance, rigid PVC is very useful for many applications.
