SWARCO ADVANCED INDUSTRY SYSTEMS IMPRESSES K 2022 AUDIENCE

Dear readers,

Our first showing at the world’s most important trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry was a resounding success. It was the first global opportunity to showcase SWARCO Advanced Industry Systems’ innovations to an interested audience. And we succeeded, as you can see from the photo series on the right. In this context, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to this trade fair success.

In this issue of the “All-Rounder”, you will also learn about our SWARCOBLAST glass blasting beads. These are not only a valued blasting medium, but also represent another important step towards sustainability and a circular economy, which are big topics in our company and this “All-Rounder”.

Have a good read!

Kind regards,

Robert Buchinger Business Development

SWARCO Advanced Industry Systems

SWARCO Advanced Industry Systems scored a huge success right at its very first K 2022 appearance. At the most important plastics and rubber industry fair worldwide, SWARCO’s young business segment attracted a highly interested audience. Decades of research and know-how on the universal applications of micro glass beads were made accessible to customers, which was highly valued especially by industry representatives attending the fair.

SWARCOFORCE Glass Filler Beads

SWARCOFORCE glass filler beads, in particular, attracted a lot of interest. Glass filler beads are high-grade filling and reinforcing agents that improve the physical properties of plastics, paints, varnishes, coatings and building materials. Their ideal area of application is the paint, varnish and coating industry where they can have a positive impact on the scratch resistance and surface properties. In the processing of plastics, glass filler beads help optimize the required qualities of the plastic granulate. In injection moulding materials, they reduce warping and shrinking thanks to their isotropy. They are also typically used in technical components, interior and exterior automotive parts, and 3D printed materials. Glass filler beads bring similar advantages in the building materials industry, too. Here, they are used, among others, in translucent joint sealants, which break light in addition to reflecting it. This brings out the colours of glass mosaics and glass tiles and the glass beads influence the optical properties.

The showing of SWARCO Advanced Industry Systems’ team at the K 2022 fair in Düsseldorf was a resounding success.
