Since 1922, Oerlikon Barmag's gear pumps have been used worldwide as process engineering components in applications involving chemicals, plastics, colours and dyes as well as PUR.Gear pumps operate on the principle of rotating displacement. The drive shaft turns the gears. This transports the medium enclosed in the tooth spaces between the gears from the pump inlet to the pump outlet,...
Water is the main element on earth and the source of all life. However, water is also the habitat of millions of microorganisms that can be life-threatening to us humans. Moreover, it is not only the matter of health, which is threatened by algae, viruses and bacteria. Microorganisms are also a fundamental risk within industrial, scientific and pharmaceutical...
Sometime between now and the middle of next year, the world population will pass a significant milestone - world citizen number 7,000,000,000 will be born. There are already more people alive today than ever before. And United Nations' analysts see growth continuing and taking the world population to around 9.2 billion people by 2050. The increase will not be spread evenly - populations will...
14 months and 68,000 working hours after starting work on the keel at the Knierim shipyard in Kiel (Northern Germany), one of the most spectacular and innovative boat building projects took place on 31st March 2010 when the giant catamaran, "TÛRANOR PlanetSolar", was named and launched at the Kieler Förde. After extensive test sailing around Kiel, the...
The function of oxazolidine scavengers:The function of oxazolidine moisture scavengers is to improve the coating appearance of PU systems through the elimination of carbon dioxide pinholes. Pinholing in PU films occur as a result of the reaction between moisture and isocyanate. However, this reaction can be reduced or eliminated by using an oxazolidine moisture scavenger, such as Incozol 2,...
There are many types of floor covering available today, suitable for a wide variety of applications: non-slip rubber mats, textile mats for heat insulation, "soft surface" PU foam or PVC coverings to protect the floor surface.All these functions have now been combined to create the new "healthy mat", made from a special PU semi-rigid integral foam with excellent elasticity...
A feeling of safety when running, optimised fall protection and performance enhancing elasticity - these are the attributes of today's modern and comfortable polyurethane flooring for leisure, sports and games. Marple Stadion AthenThe components and systems from Stockmeier Urethanes sports flooring are therefore just as performance-driven and safe. Marketed under the tradename Stobielast,...
In conjunction with the company FluidSystems GmbH & Co. KG, specialty chemicals company Lanxess has developed a new spray foam application for the two-component Bayfomox polyurethane system. Bayfomox can now be applied by the spray process as well as by the conventional casting processes. Even complex components with a tricky geometry can be made flame-retardant quickly and efficiently...
As a leading supplier of plastics processing machinery, KraussMaffei is heavily involved in the automotive industry - "a curse or a blessing"?For us it's a blessing. Along with other demands, producers are under constant pressure to reduce unit costs, save on resources and protect the environment, reduce development time and deliver new, innovative models to the market in a...
Foamed plastics provide no end of possibilities. The company Hanno from Laatzen, close to Hannover, has been making use of the diversity of this material for decades in order to put it to various uses in structural engineering.The complex requirements of many applications necessitate a refinement of the material. One of Hanno´s core competencies is the impregnation or coating of the foam....
