Grafenber -- RAMPF Polymer Solutions now has a comprehensive range of high-performance assembly adhesives on the market. Its polyurethane, epoxy, hybrid, silicone, and hot-melt systems ensure reliable bonding in a wide range of applications – including in the automotive/transportation, filter, electrical/electronics, wood processing, lightweight construction, and white goods sectors.
RAMPF Polymer Solutions, a leading developer and manufacturer of reactive plastic systems based on polyurethane, epoxy, and silicone, has broadened its portfolio by adding high-performance assembly adhesives to its customized casting resin systems for sealing, casting, and coating.
Dr. Klaus Schamel, Managing Director of RAMPF Polymer Solutions (left), and Dr. Wolfgang Hodek, Senior Key Technology Manager Adhesives, are driving the development of high-performance adhesive systems full speed ahead. "The launch of our assembly adhesives portfolio will soon be followed by the introduction further high-quality adhesives," says Dr. Schamel.
The focus of further developments now lies in optimizing the mechanical properties of tough-elastic reaction adhesives, particularly for fiber-reinforced composite materials, "which includes using the latest raw materials in hybrid (silane-functionalized) prepolymer technology," says Hodek.
In the laboratories of the RAMPF Innovation Centre in Grafenberg, adhesives' properties such as wetting, open time, and initial strength are tested according to international standards.
Besides these basic products, RAMPF Polymer Solutions is also able to provide precise solutions to meet very specific industrial requirements. "As a strong development partner with a large laboratory and comprehensive applications technology, our clearly defined aim is to lead the market in individual seg-ments," Dr. Schamel points out.
RAMPF Polymer Solutions GmbH & Co. KG is a leading developer and manufacturer of reactive resin systems based on polyurethane, epoxy, and silicone. The company also possesses comprehensive expertise in application technology.
The product portfolio of RAMPF Polymer Solutions includes liquid and thixotropic sealing systems, electro and engineering casting resins, edge and filter casting resins, and adhesives.
Research and development are highly prioritized: Based in Grafenberg (near Stuttgart), Germany, the technology pioneer and quality leader has laboratories and facilities for application technology within its spacious Innovation Center. Every day in the RAMPF Innovation Center, new products are developed, existing products are adapted to specific customer requirements, and a huge range of material combinations are tested.
The materials created in the laboratory are tested in the application technology department, where samples are also made for customers to further enhance product quality and reduce the time to series production. Naturally, customers also receive sup-port during the product rollout phase and production process.
RAMPF Polymer Solutions attaches particular importance to renewable raw materials during the initial research phase. Bio-polyols are developed in cooperation with sister company RAMPF Eco Solutions. The potential use of recycled polyols in the composition of new products is also closely examined.
