September 2020 Kraton: Award for IMSS Technology The 2020 Ringier Technology Innovation Award – Plastics Industry in the Raw Material & Additives category – goes this year to the Kraton IMSS Technology. The IMSS technology enables manufacturers to mould a large thin wall soft skin product design, opening the market to larger applications including door panels, consoles and instrument panels as thin as 0.8 mm. It delivers soft-touch haptics and vehicle weight savings using the latest generation of the company’s TPE polymer chemistry. IMSS products enhance the look and feel of interior applications such as instrument panels, trim panels and centre consoles. The products also support environmentally-responsible initiatives such as vehicle lightweighting and recyclability, since it can reuse scrap and production trim waste. The technology can be used on standard equipment and under normal processing conditions, using both skin-only and overmoulded injection moulding processes. Since 2006, the Ringier Technology Innovation Awards for industrial manufacturing have been rewarded to a selected group of innovators each year in a number of pillar industries in China. The award’s purpose is to encourage, acknowledge and reward those individuals and companies that introduced and developed a new idea, methodology, product or technology for manufacturing production efficiency, cost effectiveness or user convenience, which might result in energy savings and more responsible clean manufacturing in the industry. www.kraton.com www.ringierevents.com Write a comment on this article now Please send orders to service@gupta-verlag.de Like this article?

November 2021 Covestro: Partnership with voxeljet Covestro and industrial 3D printer manufacturer voxeljet are collaborating to develop a material-machine combination for economic large series additive manufacturing. With High Speed Sintering (HSS), voxeljet combines the advantages of two existing additive technologies: selective laser sintering and binder jetting, giving the benefit of both SLS part properties and binder-jetting productivity. The companies have jointly developed and qualified a TPU powder for HSS. voxeljet will contribute to the cooperation its knowledge with its large format VX1000HSS printer platform, and Covestro its expertise in designing functional materials, to develop a seamlessly working material-process solution that can be deployed for large scale manufacturing. read more © Copyright by Dr. Gupta Verlags GmbH Terms and conditions Imprint Privacy policy Contact info@gupta-verlag.de • Phone: +49 2102 9345-0 • Fax: +49 2102 9345-20
