KPA Leipzig/Schkeuditz

One of our core competencies is the production of stamped and bent parts using precision tools, which are manufactured in our in-house toolmaking department. Depending on the batch size, we realize your requirements either semi-automatically or fully automatically on modern stamping and bending machines.

Our logistics center offers you more than 3,000 pallet spaces on over 2,500 square meters.

The trend towards the individualization of technical components is leading to increasing demands on surface quality. Besides design, the perceived product impression is primarily determined by the appearance, feel, and uniformity of the surface. Surface testing ensures that components are visually appealing, withstand mechanical stress, and meet the requirements of their intended use. Tests examine colour, gloss, surface texture, and resistance to mechanical influences and media contact. This allows for the early detection and reproducible evaluation of quality deviations. In our accredited laboratory, we offer, among other things, the following testing procedures: - Media and chemical resistance acc. to DIN EN ISO 2812 and DIN EN ISO 22088 - Scratch test acc. to DIN EN ISO 22557 and VW PV 3952 - Cross-cut test acc. to DIN EN ISO 2409 - Abrasion and rub fastness acc. to DIN EN ISO 105 X12 and DIN EN ISO 21546 - Colour measurement acc. to DIN EN ISO 11664 - Gloss measurement acc. to DIN EN ISO 2813 - Visual colour and surface evaluation acc. to DIN EN ISO 3668 - Evaluation of colour deviation and bleed acc. to DIN EN ISO 105-A02/-A03 - Yellowing test acc. to DIN 6174 These tests enable a reliable assessment of the optical quality, surface resistance, and functional durability of technical components under real-world operating conditions.

The combination of natural or synthetic rubber with additives such as fillers, plasticizers or vulcanizing agents enables very versatile material properties and thus the use of rubber compounds for the production of tires, seals or hoses, for example. The goal is always to maintain and improve the unique properties of rubber compounds, such as elasticity, abrasion resistance, temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and the possibility of processing by injection molding, extrusion, or vulcanization, even when using sustainable raw materials. Crucial to this is a precise understanding of the interplay between the manufacturing process, material structure, and material properties. For example, the use of innovative image analysis methods enables a comprehensive evaluation of the multiscale filler dispersion in rubber compounds. The institute also possesses outstanding expertise in quantifying strain-induced crystallization and permeation properties of rubbers and rubber compounds. With these competencies, technical equipment up to pilot plant scale, and the use of digital methods, customized solutions for industrial applications become possible.

Sustainable thermoplastic compounds are application-specific mixtures of thermoplastics and fillers or reinforcing materials and have an improved ecological balance compared to conventional polymer materials with comparable processing and usage properties. They are based on polymers, fillers and reinforcing materials made from renewable raw materials, with biodegradability or with recycling/recyclability. The main added value of a sustainable thermoplastic compound compared to conventional polymer materials can be the improved ecological balance through the use of renewable raw materials or the recyclability and the reduction or avoidance of microplastics through biodegradability. These added values justify the usually higher material costs.

Whether mold seals, lifters & grippers or conveyor chain plates etc. technical polyurethane coatings of Asma show worldwide quality & performance Polyurethane elastomer (PUR) is the perfect material for the wear-resistant coating of tubs, troughs, trays, gutters, containers, and conveyors and can be applied in either casting or spraying procedures. In any case, we offer wear-resistant coating for a variety of technical applications in industrial plants and machinery including chemically-bonded coating sprayed or cast onto metal surfaces. Rubberisation and Vulcanisation These terms actually describe the process of applying rubber in which a chemical cross-linking reaction takes place, the so-called „vulcanisation“ (this is performed inside an autoclave, under high pressure and temperature and with steam). As polyurethane elastomers are similar to rubber materials as far as use and processing are concerned, many of its technical terms have also become common in the world of PUR-processing. Polyurethane, however, is generally cast in its liquid state at a temperature ranging from 30°C to 120°C without applying additional pressure.

We have over 20 years of experience in compounding and specialize in the refinement of standard plastics, engineering plastics and complex additive systems. Use us as a development partner and specialist producer for your customer-specific requirements.

From screens to lamellar wheels and molded seals to dampers – technical moulded parts from Asma are used in many industries worldwide Polyurethane elastomers (PUR) are suited for coatings resistant to wear in tubs, trays, gutters, containers, slides, loading stations and many more. We process these high-performance materials using a casting or spraying procedure. In special cases, the casting can also be carried out on site, at the customer´s, using a mobile spraying device. Coatings resistant to abrasion for technical applications in industrial plants and machines. Chemically adhering to metal surfaces, sprayed on or casted.
