We use all common concepts of machine and tool technology (insertion, transfer, turntable, index plate or core back processes) to manufacture composite components. We examine the technically and economically most advantageous variant and offer complete solutions for: - Plastic-plastic composites (hard/hard; hard/soft; currently up to 4 components), - Metal-plastic composites with different metal surfaces, - Wood-plastic composites, e.g. using primers.

Our state-of-the-art 3-component injection molding machine allows you to combine up to three different materials in one injection molding process. Your challenge.... No problem for us!

Injection molded parts with two or more components - Solidtec also demonstrates its expertise here. An intelligent process makes production in two-component injection molding or multi-component injection molding profitable. Fully automated processes and the necessary equipment are often too costly for low quantities. Injection-moulded parts made from different components, whether hard/hard or hard/soft, are therefore produced by us using several moulds (one injection mould for each component) and the transfer process. This means that 2K injection molded parts are also suitable for prototypes, for example. Another advantage of 2K injection molding or multi-component injection molding is that it is also possible to combine different plastic components and metal inserts. Convince yourself of our strengths in the production of 2K injection molded parts and multi-component injection molded parts.

Soft and hard, different colours and also low-friction: the benefits of different materials can be combined in any way desired thanks to the two-component injection-moulding process.

For precise and high-resolution components and prototypes with high demands on detail and surface quality. • Almost complete freedom of form thanks to wax supports • Functional integration

The sponsoring company of the "Kunststoff-Institut", with over 400 members, organizes the house with its focal points and activities.

Besides the need to constantly improve everything and anything, there are many tasks for our industry. These cannot be accomplished even by potent individuals, but must be tackled by the collective of a few companies, in special cases also as many companies in the industry as possible, and also by political representatives. Examples of this are improvements in the area of circular economy, sustainability and recycling. The support association for the SKZ, which now has well over 440 active members, is of great importance not only for the further development of the SKZ, but also in many ways for the plastics industry, and therefore deserves to be supported in the future as well. • We coordinate industrial expert circles • We give you access to expertise and provide first-hand know-how transfer • We give preference to our partners in the case of enquiries • We create synergies for material manufacturers, machine builders, processors and users For many years, we have been offering our SKZ specialist conferences on a variety of industry-relevant topics not only for members. Over 1,200 participants at about 15 specialist conferences each year not only receive knowledge updates, but also take advantage of opportunities to exchange ideas with experts in their fields and to network.

Color plays an important role in assessing the exclusivity of everyday objects. It contributes significantly to whether an article is perceived as valuable or even high-class, as noble, valuable, stylish or even exclusive. The color experts at GRAFE, Blankenhain, have been dealing with the style-defining and perception-controlling effect of colors for plastic applications for decades and will be presenting a new project that presents three exclusive and noble shades under the term "Luxury". "The three colors are shown in the form of a sample plate with one hexagonal plate per cover. The material used is a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer with a matting agent as an additive," explains Lars Schulze, Head of Color Development and Material Science. The trick: with the same tool, the matting agent creates the matt surface/look. The color of the hexagon without additive shows a matt and a glossy surface - which allows a comparison to the sample plate with additive and shows possible applications of the matting agent. One half is matt, the other half is glossy. "We show how different looks can be created in injection molding without additional tooling costs," says Schulze. The color specialists focused on expressive and harmonious tones in their choice of colors to achieve a luxurious look that creates a perfect combination with aesthetic design. "This is made possible by the matt yet softly shimmering surface," reports Schulze. The names of the colors presented already reveal their noble claim: Shiny Graphite, Silky Lux-Grey and Liquid Rosé Gold are the names of the developments presented at the trade fair. Each of them makes its own contribution to the theme of "Luxury" and defines it in a special way. You can find the complete press release on our homepage.
