Plastic and rubber products have become indis-

pensable in the construction industry Even more

than today construction in the future will have

to meet the challenges of growing environmental

awareness and the need to l imit climate change

These factors together with relentlessly increasing

energy costs are compelling reasons for making

buildings more energy efficient Architects and

the construction industry are striving to deliver

affordable buildings and to reduce CO983090 emissions

The growing use of plastic and rubber products is

helping to achieve both these goals

Meeting tomorrowrsquos standards today Today plastics and rubber are increasingly used

alongside or even as substitutes for traditional

building materials such as wood steel concrete

and mortar The reasons for this trend are to be

found in the many positive ndash sometimes unique ndash

characteristics of individual plastics and rubbers

For example plastics are exceptionally effective

at sealing and insulating they can also offer out-

standing mechanical stability and far greater

design freedom In many countries government

subsidies aimed at improving the energy efficiency

of housing stock are encouraging the construction

industry to use more plastic products in order to

meet tomorrowrsquos energy efficiency standards today

Building programmes for the third world

PVC low-cost housing

Affordable housing is in scarce supply in many

South American cities A competence consortium

with partner companies is offering an innovative

low-cost solution to this problem in the form of

a combination of sheet and profile extrusion lines

capable of producing all the elements needed for

a simple house Both the basic structure and the

interior walls and fittings of the houses are made

entirely of plastic formed in a variety of processes

Fast time-to-market with multi-

technology solutions

KraussMaffei is unique worldwide in its capacity to

combine injection moulding extrusion and reaction

technologies This multi-technology competence

enables KraussMaffei to identify synergy potential

ahead of competitors and by exploiting it quicklyand effectively to deliver successful production solu-

tions For example wersquove combined typical solutions

include combining elastomers and thermoplastics with

renewable raw materials and wersquove reduced CO983090

emissions with energy-saving products

pipe and for filled and foamed pipe made from vari-

ous PO materials U-PVC and C-PVC Our portfolio

ranges from single-screw extruders counter- and

co-rotating twin-screw extruders application-specific

pipehead concepts and downstream to fully-automa-

ted pipe extrusion lines For coextrusion we offer

cost-effective customized piggyback and tandem solu-

tions KraussMaffei machines can be used to produce

pipe with specific properties for many different civil

engineering applications One example is lightweight

storm-drain pipe with very large diameters and high

ring stiffness Or pipe for district heating networks

made of PE-X and PE with PE or PUR insulation

applied inline or offline Or pressure-resistant pipe

to transport natural gas made on lines engineered to

minimize material consumption Or telecommunica-

tion pipe produced on high-volume high-performance

systems Or optimal drainage pipe and fittings

High-quality liners

Heavy-duty plastic liners play an important role

in dampproofing tunnels foundations and cellars

KraussMaffei supplies complete extrusion lines forthe many and varied plastic film and sheet products

used in the construction industry

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

pipelines

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

Plastic and rubber products have become indis-

pensable in the construction industry Even more

than today construction in the future will have

to meet the challenges of growing environmental

awareness and the need to l imit climate change

These factors together with relentlessly increasing

energy costs are compelling reasons for making

buildings more energy efficient Architects and

the construction industry are striving to deliver

affordable buildings and to reduce CO983090 emissions

The growing use of plastic and rubber products is

helping to achieve both these goals

Meeting tomorrowrsquos standards today Today plastics and rubber are increasingly used

alongside or even as substitutes for traditional

building materials such as wood steel concrete

and mortar The reasons for this trend are to be

found in the many positive ndash sometimes unique ndash

characteristics of individual plastics and rubbers

For example plastics are exceptionally effective

at sealing and insulating they can also offer out-

standing mechanical stability and far greater

design freedom In many countries government

subsidies aimed at improving the energy efficiency

of housing stock are encouraging the construction

industry to use more plastic products in order to

meet tomorrowrsquos energy efficiency standards today

Building programmes for the third world

PVC low-cost housing

Affordable housing is in scarce supply in many

South American cities A competence consortium

with partner companies is offering an innovative

low-cost solution to this problem in the form of

a combination of sheet and profile extrusion lines

capable of producing all the elements needed for

a simple house Both the basic structure and the

interior walls and fittings of the houses are made

entirely of plastic formed in a variety of processes

Fast time-to-market with multi-

technology solutions

KraussMaffei is unique worldwide in its capacity to

combine injection moulding extrusion and reaction

technologies This multi-technology competence

enables KraussMaffei to identify synergy potential

ahead of competitors and by exploiting it quicklyand effectively to deliver successful production solu-

tions For example wersquove combined typical solutions

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

KraussMaffei supplies cost-effecti ve

system solutions

KraussMaffei offers solutions for the whole supply

chain for plastics and plastic composites ndash from

processing raw materials to compounding special

formulations and from pelletizing to extrusion and

downstream processing Our engineering expertise

covers a wide range of processes and technologies

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

performance are used in many applications includ-

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

Plastic and rubber products have become indis-

pensable in the construction industry Even more

than today construction in the future will have

to meet the challenges of growing environmental

awareness and the need to l imit climate change

These factors together with relentlessly increasing

energy costs are compelling reasons for making

buildings more energy efficient Architects and

the construction industry are striving to deliver

affordable buildings and to reduce CO983090 emissions

The growing use of plastic and rubber products is

helping to achieve both these goals

Meeting tomorrowrsquos standards today Today plastics and rubber are increasingly used

alongside or even as substitutes for traditional

building materials such as wood steel concrete

and mortar The reasons for this trend are to be

found in the many positive ndash sometimes unique ndash

characteristics of individual plastics and rubbers

For example plastics are exceptionally effective

at sealing and insulating they can also offer out-

standing mechanical stability and far greater

design freedom In many countries government

subsidies aimed at improving the energy efficiency

of housing stock are encouraging the construction

industry to use more plastic products in order to

meet tomorrowrsquos energy efficiency standards today

Building programmes for the third world

PVC low-cost housing

Affordable housing is in scarce supply in many

South American cities A competence consortium

with partner companies is offering an innovative

low-cost solution to this problem in the form of

a combination of sheet and profile extrusion lines

capable of producing all the elements needed for

a simple house Both the basic structure and the

interior walls and fittings of the houses are made

entirely of plastic formed in a variety of processes

Fast time-to-market with multi-

technology solutions

used in the construction industry

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

pipelines

insulation to stop drafts and condensation These

seals are produced by various methods One is a

CASE (coatings adhesives sealants and elasto-

mers) process which produces perfect insulation by

applying rigid PUR foam Insulation can save as

much as 983090983088 of the heating energy and reduce noise

levels by up to 983092983088 The industry has developed

window profiles with a thermal coefficient compara-

ble to that of glass Seals between fixed and moving

window elements are essential to make the windows

airtight KraussMaffei profile extrusion lines are

used to make seals that exactly match the application

ndash from simple to complex

panels can reduce its heating requirements by as

much as 983095983088 KraussMaffeirsquos Reaction ProcessMachinery division now supplies double-band

systems for continuous production of composite

(sandwich) insulation elements with rigid or flexible

outer layers Because of their excellent insulating

properties XPS and PUR panels have been used

in the construction industry for many years They

make it possible to insulate large areas rapidly and

efficiently The high energy input to produce expan-

ded polystyrene (XPS) is balanced by energy savings

within the first two to three months after installa-

tion so that the materialrsquos overall energy balance

as insulation is good The blowing agent used is

unproblematic ndash KraussMaffeirsquos modern production

systems use CO983090 An additional benefit is the high

compressive strength Flame retardants can be added

to make XPS insulation flame resistant

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

Plastic and rubber products have become indis-

pensable in the construction industry Even more

than today construction in the future will have

to meet the challenges of growing environmental

awareness and the need to l imit climate change

These factors together with relentlessly increasing

energy costs are compelling reasons for making

buildings more energy efficient Architects and

the construction industry are striving to deliver

affordable buildings and to reduce CO983090 emissions

The growing use of plastic and rubber products is

helping to achieve both these goals

Meeting tomorrowrsquos standards today Today plastics and rubber are increasingly used

alongside or even as substitutes for traditional

building materials such as wood steel concrete

and mortar The reasons for this trend are to be

found in the many positive ndash sometimes unique ndash

characteristics of individual plastics and rubbers

For example plastics are exceptionally effective

at sealing and insulating they can also offer out-

standing mechanical stability and far greater

design freedom In many countries government

subsidies aimed at improving the energy efficiency

of housing stock are encouraging the construction

industry to use more plastic products in order to

meet tomorrowrsquos energy efficiency standards today

Building programmes for the third world

PVC low-cost housing

Affordable housing is in scarce supply in many

South American cities A competence consortium

with partner companies is offering an innovative

low-cost solution to this problem in the form of

a combination of sheet and profile extrusion lines

capable of producing all the elements needed for

a simple house Both the basic structure and the

interior walls and fittings of the houses are made

entirely of plastic formed in a variety of processes

Fast time-to-market with multi-

technology solutions

KraussMaffei is unique worldwide in its capacity to

combine injection moulding extrusion and reaction

technologies This multi-technology competence

enables KraussMaffei to identify synergy potential

ahead of competitors and by exploiting it quicklyand effectively to deliver successful production solu-

tions For example wersquove combined typical solutions

systems Or optimal drainage pipe and fittings

High-quality liners

Heavy-duty plastic liners play an important role

in dampproofing tunnels foundations and cellars

KraussMaffei supplies complete extrusion lines forthe many and varied plastic film and sheet products

used in the construction industry

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

pipelines

Plastic and rubber products have become indis-

pensable in the construction industry Even more

than today construction in the future will have

to meet the challenges of growing environmental

awareness and the need to l imit climate change

These factors together with relentlessly increasing

energy costs are compelling reasons for making

buildings more energy efficient Architects and

the construction industry are striving to deliver

affordable buildings and to reduce CO983090 emissions

The growing use of plastic and rubber products is

helping to achieve both these goals

Meeting tomorrowrsquos standards today Today plastics and rubber are increasingly used

alongside or even as substitutes for traditional

building materials such as wood steel concrete

and mortar The reasons for this trend are to be

found in the many positive ndash sometimes unique ndash

characteristics of individual plastics and rubbers

For example plastics are exceptionally effective

at sealing and insulating they can also offer out-

standing mechanical stability and far greater

design freedom In many countries government

subsidies aimed at improving the energy efficiency

of housing stock are encouraging the construction

industry to use more plastic products in order to

meet tomorrowrsquos energy efficiency standards today

Building programmes for the third world

PVC low-cost housing

Affordable housing is in scarce supply in many

South American cities A competence consortium

with partner companies is offering an innovative

low-cost solution to this problem in the form of

a combination of sheet and profile extrusion lines

capable of producing all the elements needed for

a simple house Both the basic structure and the

interior walls and fittings of the houses are made

entirely of plastic formed in a variety of processes

Fast time-to-market with multi-

technology solutions

KraussMaffei is unique worldwide in its capacity to

combine injection moulding extrusion and reaction

technologies This multi-technology competence

enables KraussMaffei to identify synergy potential

ahead of competitors and by exploiting it quicklyand effectively to deliver successful production solu-

tions For example wersquove combined typical solutions

High-quality liners

Heavy-duty plastic liners play an important role

in dampproofing tunnels foundations and cellars

KraussMaffei supplies complete extrusion lines forthe many and varied plastic film and sheet products

used in the construction industry

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

KraussMaffeirsquos areas of special expertise is machi-

nery and process solutions to produce composite

elements for building exteriors

KraussMaffei supplies cost-effecti ve

system solutions

KraussMaffei offers solutions for the whole supply

chain for plastics and plastic composites ndash from

processing raw materials to compounding special

formulations and from pelletizing to extrusion and

downstream processing Our engineering expertise

covers a wide range of processes and technologies

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

performance are used in many applications includ-

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

Plastic and rubber products have become indis-

pensable in the construction industry Even more

than today construction in the future will have

to meet the challenges of growing environmental

awareness and the need to l imit climate change

These factors together with relentlessly increasing

energy costs are compelling reasons for making

buildings more energy efficient Architects and

the construction industry are striving to deliver

affordable buildings and to reduce CO983090 emissions

The growing use of plastic and rubber products is

helping to achieve both these goals

Meeting tomorrowrsquos standards today Today plastics and rubber are increasingly used

alongside or even as substitutes for traditional

building materials such as wood steel concrete

and mortar The reasons for this trend are to be

found in the many positive ndash sometimes unique ndash

characteristics of individual plastics and rubbers

For example plastics are exceptionally effective

at sealing and insulating they can also offer out-

standing mechanical stability and far greater

design freedom In many countries government

subsidies aimed at improving the energy efficiency

of housing stock are encouraging the construction

industry to use more plastic products in order to

meet tomorrowrsquos energy efficiency standards today

Building programmes for the third world

PVC low-cost housing

Affordable housing is in scarce supply in many

South American cities A competence consortium

with partner companies is offering an innovative

low-cost solution to this problem in the form of

a combination of sheet and profile extrusion lines

capable of producing all the elements needed for

a simple house Both the basic structure and the

interior walls and fittings of the houses are made

entirely of plastic formed in a variety of processes

Fast time-to-market with multi-

technology solutions

KraussMaffei is unique worldwide in its capacity to

combine injection moulding extrusion and reaction

technologies This multi-technology competence

enables KraussMaffei to identify synergy potential

ahead of competitors and by exploiting it quicklyand effectively to deliver successful production solu-

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

subject is materials for building exteriors With the

right plastics you can have both Exterior appli-

cations is another area where plastics demonstrate

their huge advantages ndash they can be easily formed

and shaped theyrsquore resistant to weathering easy-

care and long lasting

Plastics protect your customersrsquo investments

Construction materials used for building exteriors

are exposed to extreme weather conditions they

elements for building exteriors

KraussMaffei supplies cost-effecti ve

system solutions

KraussMaffei offers solutions for the whole supply

chain for plastics and plastic composites ndash from

processing raw materials to compounding special

formulations and from pelletizing to extrusion and

downstream processing Our engineering expertise

covers a wide range of processes and technologies

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

performance are used in many applications includ-

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

Plastic and rubber products have become indis-

pensable in the construction industry Even more

than today construction in the future will have

to meet the challenges of growing environmental

awareness and the need to l imit climate change

These factors together with relentlessly increasing

energy costs are compelling reasons for making

buildings more energy efficient Architects and

the construction industry are striving to deliver

affordable buildings and to reduce CO983090 emissions

The growing use of plastic and rubber products is

helping to achieve both these goals

Meeting tomorrowrsquos standards today Today plastics and rubber are increasingly used

alongside or even as substitutes for traditional

building materials such as wood steel concrete

and mortar The reasons for this trend are to be

found in the many positive ndash sometimes unique ndash

characteristics of individual plastics and rubbers

For example plastics are exceptionally effective

at sealing and insulating they can also offer out-

standing mechanical stability and far greater

design freedom In many countries government

subsidies aimed at improving the energy efficiency

of housing stock are encouraging the construction

industry to use more plastic products in order to

meet tomorrowrsquos energy efficiency standards today

Building programmes for the third world

PVC low-cost housing

Affordable housing is in scarce supply in many

South American cities A competence consortium

with partner companies is offering an innovative

low-cost solution to this problem in the form of

a combination of sheet and profile extrusion lines

capable of producing all the elements needed for

a simple house Both the basic structure and the

interior walls and fittings of the houses are made

entirely of plastic formed in a variety of processes

Fast time-to-market with multi-

technology solutions

KraussMaffei is unique worldwide in its capacity to

combine injection moulding extrusion and reaction

technologies This multi-technology competence

enables KraussMaffei to identify synergy potential

ahead of competitors and by exploiting it quicklyand effectively to deliver successful production solu-

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

Effective and cost-effective insulation

Insulating a building with extruded rigid foam

panels can reduce its heating requirements by as

much as 983095983088 KraussMaffeirsquos Reaction ProcessMachinery division now supplies double-band

systems for continuous production of composite

(sandwich) insulation elements with rigid or flexible

outer layers Because of their excellent insulating

properties XPS and PUR panels have been used

in the construction industry for many years They

make it possible to insulate large areas rapidly and

efficiently The high energy input to produce expan-

ded polystyrene (XPS) is balanced by energy savings

within the first two to three months after installa-

tion so that the materialrsquos overall energy balance

as insulation is good The blowing agent used is

unproblematic ndash KraussMaffeirsquos modern production

systems use CO983090 An additional benefit is the high

compressive strength Flame retardants can be added

to make XPS insulation flame resistant

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

Plastic and rubber products have become indis-

pensable in the construction industry Even more

than today construction in the future will have

to meet the challenges of growing environmental

awareness and the need to l imit climate change

These factors together with relentlessly increasing

energy costs are compelling reasons for making

buildings more energy efficient Architects and

the construction industry are striving to deliver

affordable buildings and to reduce CO983090 emissions

The growing use of plastic and rubber products is

helping to achieve both these goals

Meeting tomorrowrsquos standards today Today plastics and rubber are increasingly used

alongside or even as substitutes for traditional

building materials such as wood steel concrete

and mortar The reasons for this trend are to be

found in the many positive ndash sometimes unique ndash

characteristics of individual plastics and rubbers

For example plastics are exceptionally effective

at sealing and insulating they can also offer out-

standing mechanical stability and far greater

design freedom In many countries government

subsidies aimed at improving the energy efficiency

of housing stock are encouraging the construction

industry to use more plastic products in order to

meet tomorrowrsquos energy efficiency standards today

Building programmes for the third world

PVC low-cost housing

Affordable housing is in scarce supply in many

South American cities A competence consortium

with partner companies is offering an innovative

low-cost solution to this problem in the form of

a combination of sheet and profile extrusion lines

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

approach deliver substantial benefits for our

customers Wersquore quick to identify synergies and

to implement innovations

Plastics and rubber are used in many areas often

with specific functionality Plastic pipes carry drin-

king water hot water waste water and gas they also

protect telecommunication lines and electric cables

Profiles for windows and doors are made of plastic

as are air conditioning and ventilation ducts forroller-shutter systems and faccedilade elements Plastics

are used to make prefabricated homes and interior

walls as insulation in solar systems PVC houses

Perfect profiles for the most diverse

requirements

Rubber or PUR seals or seal profiles are applied to

doors and windows to improve thermal and acoustic

insulation to stop drafts and condensation These

seals are produced by various methods One is a

CASE (coatings adhesives sealants and elasto-

mers) process which produces perfect insulation by

applying rigid PUR foam Insulation can save as

much as 983090983088 of the heating energy and reduce noise

levels by up to 983092983088 The industry has developed

window profiles with a thermal coefficient compara-

ble to that of glass Seals between fixed and moving

window elements are essential to make the windows

airtight KraussMaffei profile extrusion lines are

used to make seals that exactly match the application

ndash from simple to complex

Effective and cost-effective insulation

Insulating a building with extruded rigid foam

panels can reduce its heating requirements by as

much as 983095983088 KraussMaffeirsquos Reaction ProcessMachinery division now supplies double-band

systems for continuous production of composite

(sandwich) insulation elements with rigid or flexible

outer layers Because of their excellent insulating

properties XPS and PUR panels have been used

in the construction industry for many years They

make it possible to insulate large areas rapidly and

efficiently The high energy input to produce expan-

ded polystyrene (XPS) is balanced by energy savings

within the first two to three months after installa-

tion so that the materialrsquos overall energy balance

as insulation is good The blowing agent used is

unproblematic ndash KraussMaffeirsquos modern production

systems use CO983090 An additional benefit is the high

compressive strength Flame retardants can be added

to make XPS insulation flame resistant

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

pipe with specific properties for many different civil

engineering applications One example is lightweight

storm-drain pipe with very large diameters and high

ring stiffness Or pipe for district heating networks

made of PE-X and PE with PE or PUR insulation

applied inline or offline Or pressure-resistant pipe

to transport natural gas made on lines engineered to

minimize material consumption Or telecommunica-

tion pipe produced on high-volume high-performance

systems Or optimal drainage pipe and fittings

High-quality liners

Heavy-duty plastic liners play an important role

in dampproofing tunnels foundations and cellars

KraussMaffei supplies complete extrusion lines forthe many and varied plastic film and sheet products

used in the construction industry

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

pipelines

insulation to stop drafts and condensation These

seals are produced by various methods One is a

CASE (coatings adhesives sealants and elasto-

mers) process which produces perfect insulation by

applying rigid PUR foam Insulation can save as

much as 983090983088 of the heating energy and reduce noise

levels by up to 983092983088 The industry has developed

window profiles with a thermal coefficient compara-

ble to that of glass Seals between fixed and moving

window elements are essential to make the windows

airtight KraussMaffei profile extrusion lines are

systems for continuous production of composite

(sandwich) insulation elements with rigid or flexible

outer layers Because of their excellent insulating

properties XPS and PUR panels have been used

in the construction industry for many years They

make it possible to insulate large areas rapidly and

efficiently The high energy input to produce expan-

ded polystyrene (XPS) is balanced by energy savings

within the first two to three months after installa-

tion so that the materialrsquos overall energy balance

covers a wide range of processes and technologies

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

performance are used in many applications includ-

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

applied inline or offline Or pressure-resistant pipe

to transport natural gas made on lines engineered to

minimize material consumption Or telecommunica-

tion pipe produced on high-volume high-performance

systems Or optimal drainage pipe and fittings

High-quality liners

Heavy-duty plastic liners play an important role

in dampproofing tunnels foundations and cellars

KraussMaffei supplies complete extrusion lines forthe many and varied plastic film and sheet products

used in the construction industry

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

pipelines

systems for continuous production of composite

(sandwich) insulation elements with rigid or flexible

outer layers Because of their excellent insulating

properties XPS and PUR panels have been used

in the construction industry for many years They

make it possible to insulate large areas rapidly and

efficiently The high energy input to produce expan-

ded polystyrene (XPS) is balanced by energy savings

within the first two to three months after installa-

tion so that the materialrsquos overall energy balance

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

applied inline or offline Or pressure-resistant pipe

to transport natural gas made on lines engineered to

minimize material consumption Or telecommunica-

tion pipe produced on high-volume high-performance

systems Or optimal drainage pipe and fittings

High-quality liners

Heavy-duty plastic liners play an important role

in dampproofing tunnels foundations and cellars

KraussMaffei supplies complete extrusion lines forthe many and varied plastic film and sheet products

used in the construction industry

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

pipelines

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

ous PO materials U-PVC and C-PVC Our portfolio

ranges from single-screw extruders counter- and

co-rotating twin-screw extruders application-specific

pipehead concepts and downstream to fully-automa-

ted pipe extrusion lines For coextrusion we offer

cost-effective customized piggyback and tandem solu-

tions KraussMaffei machines can be used to produce

pipe with specific properties for many different civil

engineering applications One example is lightweight

storm-drain pipe with very large diameters and high

ring stiffness Or pipe for district heating networks

made of PE-X and PE with PE or PUR insulation

applied inline or offline Or pressure-resistant pipe

to transport natural gas made on lines engineered to

minimize material consumption Or telecommunica-

tion pipe produced on high-volume high-performance

systems Or optimal drainage pipe and fittings

High-quality liners

Heavy-duty plastic liners play an important role

in dampproofing tunnels foundations and cellars

KraussMaffei supplies complete extrusion lines forthe many and varied plastic film and sheet products

used in the construction industry

Sheet for civil engineering applications

In regions where extreme sub-zero temperatures

can cause soil pressure to lift road surfaces buckle

rail tracks and damage paving the ground can be

insulated using expanded polystyrene (XPS) sheet

This prevents both subsoil melting and frost heave

Because XPS is highly resistant to moisture and

to high dynamical ly changing loads it is also the

material of choice for insulating oil and natural gas

pipelines

seals are produced by various methods One is a

CASE (coatings adhesives sealants and elasto-

mers) process which produces perfect insulation by

applying rigid PUR foam Insulation can save as

much as 983090983088 of the heating energy and reduce noise

levels by up to 983092983088 The industry has developed

systems for continuous production of composite

(sandwich) insulation elements with rigid or flexible

outer layers Because of their excellent insulating

properties XPS and PUR panels have been used

in the construction industry for many years They

make it possible to insulate large areas rapidly and

efficiently The high energy input to produce expan-

ded polystyrene (XPS) is balanced by energy savings

within the first two to three months after installa-

tion so that the materialrsquos overall energy balance

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

Plastics and rubber are used in many areas often

with specific functionality Plastic pipes carry drin-

king water hot water waste water and gas they also

protect telecommunication lines and electric cables

Profiles for windows and doors are made of plastic

as are air conditioning and ventilation ducts forroller-shutter systems and faccedilade elements Plastics

are used to make prefabricated homes and interior

Perfect profiles for the most diverse

requirements

Rubber or PUR seals or seal profiles are applied to

doors and windows to improve thermal and acoustic

insulation to stop drafts and condensation These

seals are produced by various methods One is a

CASE (coatings adhesives sealants and elasto-

mers) process which produces perfect insulation by

applying rigid PUR foam Insulation can save as

much as 983090983088 of the heating energy and reduce noise

levels by up to 983092983088 The industry has developed

window profiles with a thermal coefficient compara-

ble to that of glass Seals between fixed and moving

window elements are essential to make the windows

airtight KraussMaffei profile extrusion lines are

used to make seals that exactly match the application

ndash from simple to complex

Effective and cost-effective insulation

Insulating a building with extruded rigid foam

panels can reduce its heating requirements by as

much as 983095983088 KraussMaffeirsquos Reaction ProcessMachinery division now supplies double-band

systems for continuous production of composite

(sandwich) insulation elements with rigid or flexible

outer layers Because of their excellent insulating

properties XPS and PUR panels have been used

in the construction industry for many years They

make it possible to insulate large areas rapidly and

efficiently The high energy input to produce expan-

ded polystyrene (XPS) is balanced by energy savings

within the first two to three months after installa-

tion so that the materialrsquos overall energy balance

as insulation is good The blowing agent used is

unproblematic ndash KraussMaffeirsquos modern production

systems use CO983090 An additional benefit is the high

compressive strength Flame retardants can be added

to make XPS insulation flame resistant

covers a wide range of processes and technologies

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

performance are used in many applications includ-

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

Perfect profiles for the most diverse

requirements

Rubber or PUR seals or seal profiles are applied to

doors and windows to improve thermal and acoustic

insulation to stop drafts and condensation These

seals are produced by various methods One is a

CASE (coatings adhesives sealants and elasto-

mers) process which produces perfect insulation by

applying rigid PUR foam Insulation can save as

much as 983090983088 of the heating energy and reduce noise

levels by up to 983092983088 The industry has developed

window profiles with a thermal coefficient compara-

ble to that of glass Seals between fixed and moving

window elements are essential to make the windows

airtight KraussMaffei profile extrusion lines are

used to make seals that exactly match the application

ndash from simple to complex

Effective and cost-effective insulation

Insulating a building with extruded rigid foam

panels can reduce its heating requirements by as

much as 983095983088 KraussMaffeirsquos Reaction ProcessMachinery division now supplies double-band

systems for continuous production of composite

(sandwich) insulation elements with rigid or flexible

outer layers Because of their excellent insulating

properties XPS and PUR panels have been used

in the construction industry for many years They

make it possible to insulate large areas rapidly and

efficiently The high energy input to produce expan-

ded polystyrene (XPS) is balanced by energy savings

within the first two to three months after installa-

tion so that the materialrsquos overall energy balance

as insulation is good The blowing agent used is

unproblematic ndash KraussMaffeirsquos modern production

systems use CO983090 An additional benefit is the high

compressive strength Flame retardants can be added

to make XPS insulation flame resistant

subject is materials for building exteriors With the

right plastics you can have both Exterior appli-

cations is another area where plastics demonstrate

their huge advantages ndash they can be easily formed

and shaped theyrsquore resistant to weathering easy-

covers a wide range of processes and technologies

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

performance are used in many applications includ-

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

Never again will anyone have to choose between

good looks and ruggedness ndash at least not if the

subject is materials for building exteriors With the

right plastics you can have both Exterior appli-

cations is another area where plastics demonstrate

their huge advantages ndash they can be easily formed

and shaped theyrsquore resistant to weathering easy-

care and long lasting

Plastics protect your customersrsquo investments

Construction materials used for building exteriors

are exposed to extreme weather conditions they

need special properties including extreme durabi-

lity Plastics offer this surety whether theyrsquore usedfor decking facades window sills or fencing Plastic

products comply with all construction industry

standards for exterior materials theyrsquoll stand up to

any weather theyrsquore almost indestructible theyrsquore

hygienic and almost maintenance-free One of

KraussMaffeirsquos areas of special expertise is machi-

nery and process solutions to produce composite

elements for building exteriors

KraussMaffei supplies cost-effecti ve

system solutions

KraussMaffei offers solutions for the whole supply

chain for plastics and plastic composites ndash from

processing raw materials to compounding special

formulations and from pelletizing to extrusion and

downstream processing Our engineering expertise

covers a wide range of processes and technologies

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

performance are used in many applications includ-

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

Never again will anyone have to choose between

good looks and ruggedness ndash at least not if the

subject is materials for building exteriors With the

right plastics you can have both Exterior appli-

cations is another area where plastics demonstrate

their huge advantages ndash they can be easily formed

and shaped theyrsquore resistant to weathering easy-

care and long lasting

Plastics protect your customersrsquo investments

Construction materials used for building exteriors

are exposed to extreme weather conditions they

need special properties including extreme durabi-

lity Plastics offer this surety whether theyrsquore usedfor decking facades window sills or fencing Plastic

products comply with all construction industry

standards for exterior materials theyrsquoll stand up to

any weather theyrsquore almost indestructible theyrsquore

hygienic and almost maintenance-free One of

KraussMaffeirsquos areas of special expertise is machi-

nery and process solutions to produce composite

elements for building exteriors

KraussMaffei supplies cost-effecti ve

system solutions

KraussMaffei offers solutions for the whole supply

chain for plastics and plastic composites ndash from

processing raw materials to compounding special

formulations and from pelletizing to extrusion and

downstream processing Our engineering expertise

covers a wide range of processes and technologies

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

performance are used in many applications includ-

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

Never again will anyone have to choose between

good looks and ruggedness ndash at least not if the

subject is materials for building exteriors With the

right plastics you can have both Exterior appli-

cations is another area where plastics demonstrate

their huge advantages ndash they can be easily formed

and shaped theyrsquore resistant to weathering easy-

care and long lasting

Plastics protect your customersrsquo investments

Construction materials used for building exteriors

are exposed to extreme weather conditions they

need special properties including extreme durabi-

lity Plastics offer this surety whether theyrsquore usedfor decking facades window sills or fencing Plastic

products comply with all construction industry

standards for exterior materials theyrsquoll stand up to

any weather theyrsquore almost indestructible theyrsquore

hygienic and almost maintenance-free One of

KraussMaffeirsquos areas of special expertise is machi-

nery and process solutions to produce composite

elements for building exteriors

KraussMaffei supplies cost-effecti ve

system solutions

KraussMaffei offers solutions for the whole supply

chain for plastics and plastic composites ndash from

processing raw materials to compounding special

formulations and from pelletizing to extrusion and

downstream processing Our engineering expertise

covers a wide range of processes and technologies

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

performance are used in many applications includ-

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

Never again will anyone have to choose between

good looks and ruggedness ndash at least not if the

subject is materials for building exteriors With the

right plastics you can have both Exterior appli-

cations is another area where plastics demonstrate

their huge advantages ndash they can be easily formed

and shaped theyrsquore resistant to weathering easy-

care and long lasting

Plastics protect your customersrsquo investments

Construction materials used for building exteriors

are exposed to extreme weather conditions they

need special properties including extreme durabi-

products comply with all construction industry

standards for exterior materials theyrsquoll stand up to

KraussMaffei supplies cost-effecti ve

system solutions

KraussMaffei offers solutions for the whole supply

chain for plastics and plastic composites ndash from

processing raw materials to compounding special

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

performance are used in many applications includ-

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications

covers a wide range of processes and technologies

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

Never again will anyone have to choose between

good looks and ruggedness ndash at least not if the

subject is materials for building exteriors With the

right plastics you can have both Exterior appli-

cations is another area where plastics demonstrate

their huge advantages ndash they can be easily formed

and shaped theyrsquore resistant to weathering easy-

care and long lasting

Plastics protect your customersrsquo investments

Construction materials used for building exteriors

are exposed to extreme weather conditions they

need special properties including extreme durabi-

lity Plastics offer this surety whether theyrsquore usedfor decking facades window sills or fencing Plastic

products comply with all construction industry

standards for exterior materials theyrsquoll stand up to

any weather theyrsquore almost indestructible theyrsquore

hygienic and almost maintenance-free One of

KraussMaffeirsquos areas of special expertise is machi-

nery and process solutions to produce composite

elements for building exteriors

KraussMaffei supplies cost-effecti ve

system solutions

KraussMaffei offers solutions for the whole supply

chain for plastics and plastic composites ndash from

processing raw materials to compounding special

formulations and from pelletizing to extrusion and

downstream processing Our engineering expertise

covers a wide range of processes and technologies

In extrusion we offer co-rotating and counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders ndash each suited to

particular applications We offer solutions for

processing PVC- and PO-based systems Counter-

rotating twin-screw extruders are used to process

agglomerates and granulates while co-rotating

twin-screw extruders with their outstanding mixing

performance are used in many applications includ-

ing direct extrusion In direct extrusion individual

material components are metered directly into the

extruder In injection moulding too KraussMaffei

offers standard application-specific or highly-

customized machines for a wide application spec-

trum Our IMC (Injection Moulding Compounding)

systems give processors the advantages of compound-

ing a formulation and extruding the product in a

one-stage process The IMC successfully links thecontinuous extrusion process with the discontinuous

injection moulding process A key characteristic of

all these processes is gentle non-destructive proces-

sing which ultimately ensures that products meet all

quality specifications

Composites have the edge

Plastic-based composites consist of a polymer matrix

embedding a reinforcing material ndash increasingly

a renewable raw material Typical examples are

hemp flax rice husks and cellulose The polymers

used for the matrix include HDPE PP or PVC The

general name for these composites is Wood Plastic

Composites (WPC) Compared with 983089983088983088 polymer

materials WPCs are stiffer and have a much lower

coefficient of thermal expansion They are durable

weatherproof and need no maintenance making

them an ideal substitute for tropical wood Today

these types of composites are already being used in

many applications
