Example of Commercial SolutionIng. Tomáš Martinec, PhD.


tel.: +420 485 353146 Synthetic leather technology

We cooperate with company Magna on development of a new type of

machine for production of synthetic leather, using technology Slush

Molding. Basic principle of this technology is heating up of a form to

desired temperature and application of a material in a state of powder.

Advantages of the new device:• To heat up the form only infrared emitters are used. This leads to considerable savings in

energy and significantly shorter time of the cycle

• Possibility of local manipulation of temperature. Controlled local changes in thickness

(for example in the area of airbag), not being offered by anyone on the market.
