ARBOFORM®, ARBOBLEND®, and ARBOFILL®: From the finest fibers for yarns and textiles, to completely pollutant-free baby toys, to robust molded parts like the "lost core"; for all Brembo SGL Carbon carbon ceramic brakes used by companies such as Porsche and Formula 1. We advise you on material selection, processing, mold and tool design, and all aspects of our materials. Our development team supports you throughout the development of your new product with extensive expertise in material, process, and application properties. Material parameters can be determined quickly and efficiently in our in-house laboratory to enable rapid material optimization when needed. All TECNARO bioplastics are completely free of PFAS and BPA, making them particularly environmentally and health-friendly. Furthermore, compared to plastics made from fossil raw materials, our materials boast a significantly better CO₂ footprint – in many cases, they even achieve a negative CO₂ value (cradle to gate). Our formulations thus actively contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases and offer a sustainable alternative for a wide variety of applications.

Their own high-performance antistatic masterbatch with a long lasting effect, has been further developed by the family business from Blankenhain. The product was introduced at the K 2019. “We have adapted the recipe and optimized it for other carrier materials. Depending on the application and storage conditions, the long-term effect can last up to four years. It occurs immediately after the end product has been manufactured,” explains additive specialist Dr. Carlos Caro, referring to the special feature of the development. “The surface resistance is in the static-dissipative range between 10E6 and 10E9 ohms. These values are very difficult to achieve with other products on the market”. The high-performance antistatic masterbatch has several compelling effects. It avoids the occurrence of sudden discharges, reduces dust attraction on surfaces and minimizes the risk of explosions. “This provides better protection for both staff and sensitive electrical equipment,” says the expert. “The product can be combined with colour masterbatches or fillers as desired by the customer. The lower dosage of 2 to a maximum of 5 percent results in effective cost savings”. In addition, the antistatic substances can also be used as lubricants or demoulding aids. The areas of application for the additive are therefore diverse. “Applications are possible in the areas of film extrusion, injection moulding, blow moulds, staple fibres and nonwovens as well as deep-drawn parts,” explains the expert, but points out that this only applies to the industrial sector. “The high-performance antistatic masterbatch can also be used in the non-food sector for transparent and colourless articles. Applications with food contact or in medical technology are not possible”.

Protection and safety for hydraulic applications.

The demand for consumer electronics and home appliances is on the rise, fueled by factors such as the increased use of smart electronics and appliances, rising disposable incomes, the surge in the work-from-home trend, and the expanding base of nuclear families.
