TRIBOFORCE® - Our PFAS-free solutions for reducing friction and wear

TRIBOFORCE® is our product series of tribologically optimized compounds. The innovative materials improve the slide-friction behavior of mechanically and tribologically highly stressed parts, thus reducing wear and increasing the efficiency and service life of components that have to function smoothly under extreme conditions. In addition to minimizing friction losses at the expense of material and efficiency, the polymers counteract noise emissions caused by stick-slip effects, making them attractive materials for future markets such as e-mobility. The materials do not require the use of PTFE/PFAS or additional lubrication.

Recompounds - Solutions for circular value creation

We offer solutions for polymer recycling that meet the requirements of one of the most important technologies of the future. Recompounds are an example of recycling engineering polymers to produce sustainable products based on industrial secondary raw materials. In addition to a comprehensive range of polymers and additives from the world’s leading manufacturers, we develop and produce compounds according to specific customer demands. The integration of alternative raw material sources into product development is becoming increasingly relevant. The recycling of reusable polymers from industrial production is an effective and sustainable solution for saving limited resources, reducing residual material quantities and emissions, and advancing the circular economy. Our recompounds are based on recycled production residues from the polymer industry, such as sprues or start-up parts. Recycling processes timely make the valuable raw materials available again for product development and processing. Innovative materials with specific properties are created from sorted regrind by compounding. These are reused in sophisticated technical applications, for example, for e-mobility or regenerative energies. The recycling concept enables reuse at a consistently high quality level. The properties of the recompounds can even be improved compared with the base material through targeted additives and modified to suit individual customer demands. For example, opaque to transparent materials and various color settings, such as for lighting applications like vehicle lighting, can be realized. With a view to circular value creation, we also advise customers on setting up their own circulation system to save resources and costs, achieve sustainability goals, prevent raw material shortages and supply bottlenecks, and secure competitiveness.
