Double helical gearing with different helical angles in Q10

Optical brighteners are utilized across various industries such as paper, detergent, and textile, to enhance color brilliance and refine product appearance. Imagine a red that loses its vibrancy after just a few days – a situation easily remedied with optical brighteners! These compounds not only impart gloss to colors but also intensify the white in paints and coatings, safeguard against yellowing, and effectively manage adhesives. They are chemical compounds introduced into materials to achieve brightening effects.

In the field of glass-plastic hybrids, the precise overmolding of coated glass opens up a variety of innovative possibilities for the production of high-quality components. This technology combines the best properties of glass and plastic to produce components that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Here are some of the key advantages and applications of this advanced method: -Optimal combination of strength and lightness -Flexible design options and precision - Extended functionality through coated glass In summary, glass-plastic hybrids through the precise overmolding of coated glass represent an innovative and future-oriented solution for a wide range of industries. This technology not only enables the production of robust and lightweight components, but also offers the flexibility and functionality that modern applications require.

A glass pipe bend is used when conveying abrasive, usually glass fiber-reinforced materials - for example polyamide. A glass pipe bend must be used, especially where space is limited and radii are small. If this is installed stress-free and is not mechanically damaged, it can be expected to last for years. This is particularly advantageous when installation space is limited and accessibility is poor. To prevent static charging, a copper tape is glued to the outer radius to transfer the charge via the pipe and earthed at the end of the pipe.

For conveying abrasive media or for high flow rates, we can supply you with glass pipe bends made from 3.3 borosilicate glass with a copper grounding strip. These have a service life at least 10 times longer than that of stainless steel pipe bends.

Plastics for gliding: replace metal and lubricantsWhether attachment systems for forklift trucks or sliding roofs for vehicles - our slide rails made of glass fibre-reinforced polyamide are significantly lighter than metal and have high gliding properties and strength. Despite high filling levels, we achieve very smooth surfaces and precise contours. This means that metal can be substituted without any functional restrictions. Thanks to weight savings, plastic achieves a reduction in the CO2 footprint. Advantages at a glance: • Low-noise, lubricant-free gliding • Lightweight and robust • Simple assembly and disassembly • Increase sustainability and reduce energy costs

The GLOW HRS solution enables the production of high-quality parts through direct injection, eliminating halos and ensuring superior surface aesthetics. With precise surface temperature control, it streamlines post-molding decoration and reduces energy consumption, contributing to a more sustainable process. Easy to install and with no impact on cycle time, GLOW HRS technology ensures consistently high productivity. From hoods and tailgates to roofs and smart panels, the system adapts seamlessly to a wide range of automotive applications.

Cosmetic bottles combining appearance, feel, and scent are presented at the PCD in Paris GRAFE in Blankenhain will present the latest development project results on scented batches at PCD 2023 in Paris. A masterbatch for PP was developed that makes the plastic smell. Together with a small selection of impressive effect pigments from Merck and different original textures from Eschmann, three cosmetic bottles were created that bring the scents of aromatic pine, lavender field, and floral fragrance into melodic harmony with the look and feel of the container. "The color inspirations come from nature. We chose French names, firstly to do justice to the trade fair location and secondly because the themes of fragrances, perfume, and cosmetics are associated with France," explains Lars Schulze, Head of Color Development and Material Science. "The olfactory principle of action is based on a fragrance oil and the migration of this substance to the surface, whereby, depending on the plastic, the process is slowed down, which prolongs the effect." According to the expert, there are hardly any comparable applications on the market at present. With the combination of fragrance, color, and effect, as well as stylish texture design, the company presents three cosmetic bottles in a decorative box. It creates a packaging experience for the highest demands. With the scented batches, various user industries now have a third way of appealing to the senses besides optics and haptics, namely olfaction; Schulze explains the market opportunities of the development. Moreover, the topic of smell can be excellently combined with GRAFE's core competence - the coloring of plastics. "With our fragrance batches, bad odours are captured and superimposed. Thus, an end-customer product that exudes the typical plastic smell when untreated could become a real experience when unpacked", says Schulze.

Increasing sustainability requirements demand information on the emission content of products Sustainability requirements in plastics processing are constantly increasing and more and more customers are demanding proof of a product's eco-balance. For this reason, the GRAFE GROUP, Blankenhain, has been providing a CO₂ calculator for certifying the masterbatches or compounds ordered since the last update of its customer portal. This allows the CO₂ equivalent of greenhouse gases for each of the company's products to be calculated live and within a few seconds and downloaded as a PDF document. „Our customers are increasingly demanding sustainability. We therefore feel obliged to be able to show them the emissions content of our products“, explains Manuel Klemm, Head of Internal Sales. „The certificate created contains the necessary data on the carbon footprint of our products and gives our customers the opportunity to calculate the environmental performance of their own products in the next step of the value chain. The values are based on the cradle-to-gate system limits in accordance with ISO 14040/44“, says Klemm.
