UHMW-PE Granulate [By Mitsui Chemicals Inc.] Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is known for its excellent sliding properties, abrasion resistance, and high strength, and is classified as an engineering plastic. Only very few manufacturers are worldwide in the position to supply injection & extrusion moldable UHMW-PE. UHMW-PE is available as granulate (LUBMER ™) for injection and extrusion molding. Powders (MIPELON™) and granulates are also used in blending with other polymers, i.e. to improve the tribological properties. UHMW-PE LUBMER™ L3000, L4000, L5000 • UHMWPE in Granulate form as you know it from standard Polyolefins • High chemical resistance • Noiseless properties • High abrasion resistance • Good sliding properties • Approved for FDA & EU 10/2011 UHMW-PE abrasion resistance improving agent LY1040 • High improving of abrasion resistance • High decreasing of friction coefficient for technical polymers • Agent in granulate form for standard dosing systems • High effective from 5% onward

Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene UHMW-PE are PE types with molecular weights from 1 million g/mol up to 10 million g/mol. Standard types are used in the range of 3–5 million g/mol. With increasing molecular weight, wear resistance and impact strength, in particular, improve. UHMW-PE exhibits the most balanced property profile of all polyethylenes and offers very good impact strength even at temperatures down to minus 200°C. Characteristic properties: Best wear resistance of all engineering plastics at room temperature, very low coefficients of sliding friction, excellent sliding properties, very good stress crack resistance, noise reduction, UV resistance. Areas of application: Protective devices, lining technology, general mechanical engineering, conveyor technology, medical technology, protective clothing, sports & leisure equipment. Processing: Due to the high molecular weight, the material viscosity also increases, so UHMWPE can generally only be processed using RAM extrusion and press-sintering processes. Semi-finished products for further machining can thus be produced with very low stresses. With our partner IRPC, we are currently developing a UHMWPE granulate grade suitable for injection molding.

Ultramid® Expand Ultramid Expand® is a particle foam by BASF that is based on a combination of several polyamide 6 grades. The particle foam consists of pre-foamed particles with a defined particle size and density, which can be welded into a 3D component without generating foam waste in a molding machine. The component has isotropic foam properties, i.e. the same mechanical properties in all directions. A chemical reaction does not take place in the foam. The particle foam excels with a wide range of unique characteristics: high temperature-resistance, outstanding stiffness and strength as well as an excellent chemical resistance, e.g. in contact with fuels, oils and lubricants. Additionally, the closed cell foam structure offers an exceptional compressive strength, a requirement for the use in crash relevant components that are exposed to high mechanical demands. Because of this versatility, lightweight applications are possible as well.

3 possibilities with only 1 control unit 1. ultrasonic polishing system piggySonic® Mark 3 works with the latest ultrasonic technology. You will notice this when you pick up the handpiece. It is extremely handy, the cable is thin and flexible, the holders are neatly finished. Switch on. The device searches for the optimum frequency. Adjust the power and off you go. In practice, the combination of ceramic fibre file and ultrasonic system is unbeatable. This allows you to remove the hard erosion skin quickly and cleanly, giving you an optimum starting surface for the subsequent processing steps. 2. brushless micromotors with up to 300 watts piggySonic® Mark 3 works with a brushless micromotor up to 300 watts. This means you can now sand and polish powerfully. But that's not all: Depending on the tool size and task, you select the appropriate speed range and always work under optimum conditions. Select the "without brush" output. The system automatically sets the starting speed to zero for your own safety. This ensures that you do not accidentally start at too high a speed and endanger yourself and others as a result. select the desired speed range. now regulate the desired speed. It is shown on the display at the same time. The display always shows you the current speed. The speed remains constant thanks to the built-in control electronics. You can attach different heads to the micromotor. 3. powerHand motors with brush The PowerHand series provides you with a complete micromotor system: Angle heads, swingHandy with interesting cross stroke, 2 powerful filing machines and a belt sander. Everything you need with just one control unit. You save space, improve your organisation and also save a lot of money.

SITRAPLAS: New ABS-based plastic compound with a special surface. In the world of design and functionality, it's often the small details that make a big difference. The ABS-based plastic compound developed by SITRAPLAS – a renowned supplier of technically sophisticated plastic compounds from Bünde, East Westphalia – captures this difference. With an innovative surface structure that creates a rough, matte finish during the extrusion of profiles, the SITRAPLAS developers are setting new standards in product design and functionality. Unique aesthetics and tactile quality This innovation is ideally suited to giving extruded profiles a distinctive, modern appearance. For applications that require both functionality and design, the SITRAPLAS compound is an ideal raw material.
