KraussMaffei Berstorff Technology Days

摘要

"60-65 % TPE in the application area of glass run channels - and in fact until 2020" - this is a number that the TPE compounders would probably like. It was declared by Eric Jourdain, Specialty Polymers Marketing and Technology Segment Manager at ExxonMobil. And in fact as in passing during the Technology Days, hosted by KraussMaffei Berstorff in the middle of September 2012 in Hannover, Germany. No question: 65 % is a fascinating number- all the more when we keep in mind that the . mentioned field of application was still dominated in the year 2007 in about 70 % by EPDM. Jourdain's assessment becomes even more interesting when we take a wider look at the entirety of seals used in producing a car. In fact, keeping the car interior tight to wind and weather has been one of the main application areas for EPDM. And apart from the area of car doors Jourdain knows a multitude of seals - from car glass guide over the actual door seal until the sealing of the holder of the outside mirror.
