06.09.2007 Extension of product line MAKARIELL

The product line of antibacterial plastics MAKARIELL has been extended with Thermoplastic Elastomeres. These materials in the product series TPE MAKARIELL are manufactured on the basis of TPE SEBS with adhesion to PP in 2 shot moulds

30.05.2007 Extension of product line TPV MAKALEST

As an extension to the existing product line TPV MAKALEST MAURER Kunststofftechnik GmbH has developed a modified TPV compound (TPV MAKALEST CGP series) for adhesion to PC and PC/ABS. This series provides in general a very good adhesion in coinjection moulding.

14.08.2006 TPV MAKALEST thermoplastic vulcanizates

MAURER Kunststofftechnik GmbH have extended their present product line TPE MAKALEST, thermoplastic elastomers, with the new released thermoplastic vulcanizates. They will be offered under the trade name TPV MAKALEST.

Wheras the TPE´s of the current MAKALEST line are based on Styrol-Block-Copolymeres (SBS-SEBS), the new TPV´s are homogenous blends of a rubber (EPDM/PP) showing an island matrix morphology with a better temperature- and oil constancy. Consequenzes of this improved temperature constancy are a lot of using possibilities for TPV MAKALEST especially in the automotive sec-tor where high temperature constancy is required under the bonnet.

TPV MAKALEST can be used for injection moulding and for extrusion. There are also some types available for blow moulding. Good adhesion is existing to Polyamide. The hardness range varies from 40 Shor A to 60 Shore D.

With this new TPV´s, MAURER Kunststofftechnik GmbH shows an consistent expansion of the already existing TPE MAKALEST series. As a result from this expansion, beside the already realized applications in the automotive-, food- and household field, new possibilities were offered to the customer which where practically unrealizeable a few years ago.

17.07.2006 MAKARIELL antibacterial plastics

New in the product family of MAURER Kunststofftechnik GmbH are antibacterial plastics. An antibacterial equipment of plastics prevents or delays the growth of micro organism on the plastics and achieves therefore a valueable contribution to improve the hygienic standards in our life. These special plastics have a wide range of use and are especially for thermoplastic polymers with food contact.

The additive used in MAKARIELL is a new-type antibacterial active ingredient with a broad range of action based on silver. With the use of a unique glass ceramic carrier, it is possible to doubling the efficiency yield of this product in comparison with other silver-based ingredients, while reducing the neccessary application amount by one-half. Because of this unique glass carrier the plastic will not discolour anymore, as happened in the past with other silver additives.

MAKARIELL is usable under all well-known production-, processing and appli-cation conditions. Trials have shown, that MAKARIELL can also be produced with reinforced glass fibres and glass beads. If desired by the customer it causes no problems to produce the material stabilized and coloured.

The additive which is used in MAKARIELL is registered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for all types of polymers used in manufacturing, packaging transporting or holding food, and also owns a registration in the EFSA Journal ( European Authority for Food Safety ) in Brussels.

Presently MAKARIELL is based on the already existing products MAKAMID (Polyamid) und MAKALEN (Polypropylen)The typical thermal and mechanical properties like stiffness, breaking strenght and impact strenght maintain still the same with the antibacterial additiv.
