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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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
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

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

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

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

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
window profiles with a thermal coefficient compara-
ble to that of glass Seals between fixed and moving

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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-
care and long lasting
Plastics protect your customersrsquo investments
Construction materials used for building exteriors

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-
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

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

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

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
