The AMT PostPro SFX is an advanced machine for automated chemical smoothing of 3D printed parts. This innovative solution uses AMT's environmentally friendly PostPro Pure chemistry and delivers smooth, aesthetically pleasing surfaces that meet the highest industrial standards in various industries. The chemically smoothed parts not only feel high-quality, but also have improved mechanical properties and longer durability. Materials such as Nylon 12 from Formlabs can be effectively smoothed. AMT's vapor smoothing technology pushes the boundaries of what is possible in 3D printing and opens up new possibilities for the production of end-use parts. Find out more about the AMT PostPro SFX at our exhibition stand B1-431 in Hall B1. Our experts will show you which surfaces of your 3D printed parts you can refine with the desktop chemical smoothing machine.

There's an effective solution for visual impairments caused by reflections: LimitedReflection engraving. Better ergonomics and increased safety are just two of the many aspects for which Krüth developed LimitedReflection engraving.

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”.

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. This growing demand is a testament to the integral role that appliances play in our daily lives

In our technical center, 15 injection molding machines & three extruders are available for company-specific samples. We design tools, introduce special procedures for you and are available worldwide for process engineering support.

As a well-established and reliable partner for Tier 1 customers and OEMs, ROMIRA can also provide you with “ready-to-mold” plastics solutions for your projects while also offering targeted consulting and product modification services right up to volume production. Here, ROMIRA contributes not only its production expertise but also its competencies in developing new, innovative specialist products, offering customers a broad-based portfolio of materials with both industry-proven and tailor-made properties – such as • High impact strength, even at low temperatures • Low VOC emission and fogging values • High thermal deformation resistance • Good UV stability • Specialised types of materials with a high-gloss or matte appearance • Good anti-scratch qualities – for a wide variety of interior and exterior applications. With the use of additives, other, customer-specific properties are also possible – such as anti-static characteristics, particular haptic qualities, etc. Thanks to our many years of experience in engineering plastics, ROMIRA is able to advise you on any issue related to your choice of materials or applications engineering.

Bespoke plastics are becoming increasingly significant for the construction sector. Here, engineering plastics can offer excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion caused by aqueous solutions, acids and bases – areas where metal parts in particular are bound to fail. Whether for window sections or piping, cable channels or housing facades, construction materials have to stand up to a wide range of demanding requirements. With their special property characteristics, our filled and unfilled LURANYL® PPE/PS-I and PPE/PA blends offer an outstanding foundation on which to base demanding applications such as extrusion-moulded pipes and sections or the manufacturing of especially complex injection-moulded pipes. ROMIRA has also been supplying a number of its own LURANYL® blends with KTW, ACS and WRAS approval since 2002, for deployment both in cold-water and hot-water applications. ROMIRA offers you a versatile portfolio of plastics solutions specifically customised and tailored to your individual requirements. Easy to handle and highly effective, they offer you a steady stream of deployment options in shell construction and interior fit-out. ROMIRA is happy to advise you on your plans and offers support for new developments or improvements to your existing products.
