Machine and plant applications.

• Drive elements
• Transport and screw conveyors
• Chain guides
• Tight tolerance machine parts
• Guide rails
• Sliding elements
• Shock and impact stressed parts
• Individual solutions

Properties for the electrical industry.

• high electrical conductivity or insulation
• flame retardants
• good chemical resistance
• high heat resistance
• good dimensional stability

In this industry segment, we mainly supply manufacturers of packaging and filling machines.

The format parts, rotating starwheels and screws used there have very high requirements in terms of dimensional accuracy and surface quality. In such cases, POM or PET is often used. Antistatic equipment and wear resistance are also customer requirements. Our premium PE materials TIVAR® CleanStat* and TIVAR® H.O.T.* are ideally suited for this purpose. Sterilizability and/or autoclavability are often required. For this purpose, the materials must be usable up to 134°C and resistant to hydrolysis. PEEK is very often used here.

For the area of food production and packaging, special materials and solutions are required due to the strict regulations that apply here and the sensitive working environments.

The product portfolio of Kunststofftechnik Kuhn GmbH includes, among others, a wide variety of materials that comply with the strict Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 of the European Commission. Based on PEEK, PA 6, POM and PE, we also have metal and X-ray detectable materials in our product range.

Our plastic parts and assemblies are also used in aerospace, transportation, automation and measurement, hydraulics, valves and fittings, and many other applications.
