Company profile
The basis for our products and services is innovative research and development (R&D) by curious, creative and highly-motivated scientists and engineers, driven by having fun with their work. We learn something new every day and thanks to our open-minded way of working we have a solid foundation in experience and knowledge in:
- colour and surface chemistry
- most current industrial printing systems (CIJ,DoD, cartridges)
- industrial technical processes
- microencapsulation
- sol-gel- chemistry
- safety markings
- manufacture of colour pastes
Far reaching knowledge and long years of experience in instrumental and classical analysis have led to a pool of knowledge and experience in the field of chemical development, analysis as well as measuring and manufacture of inks and coating products. In three laboratories in shareholder owned buildings we have highly-modern and also classic, tried and tested appliances at our disposal.
Equipment
R&D
- Laboratory
The birthplace of innovations: here we carry out our own developments or customer projects for inks/print colours and industrial coatings. Our equipment includes for example:
Mixer, special pump models, filtration plant, coating knife, scraper, flowcup, glossmeter, film applicator, grindometer, scratching tool, cross cutter,
centrifuge, laboratory-type drying cabinet, muffle furnace, ph-meter, viskosimeters, analytical balance, volumetric glassware, thin-layer chromatography,
gas chromatography, tensiometer, refractometer, conductivity-meter, microscopes
- Application Technology
After the first steps in development we have to prove the products in technical applications. For our newly developed inks there are different printing systems, such as:
CIJ (Continuous Inkjet)
DOD (Drop on Demand)
hp® and other cartridge systems
For coatings there are various application systems and varying
paint and coating tests, for example gloss measuring and cross cut
- production
In a module production concept we manufacture our products according to the TCM principle. The certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and 14001 is planned for the beginning of 2012.
Through this module structure we are extremely flexible in the amount and variety of products.
