PUR rigid foam systems ensure optimal 

insulation even in relatively thin layers. 

KraussMaffei Italiana is a competence 

center for PUR rigid foams. 

electrical / electronics 

The electrical and electronics industries 

make extensive use of plastics. 

They produce a huge range of plastics 

products, often with highly specialized 

properties. Optimal electrical insulation 

and resistance to thermal and 

mechanical stress are among the key 

properties. 

construction 

Plastics are widely used in the construc 

tion industry, where they offer 

striking benefits, such as light weight, 

weather- and UV-resistance, impact 

resistance, resistance to scratching, 

easy installation and good thermal 

insulation. Many construction plastics 

are extruded and here customers can 

count on productive solutions from 

KraussMaffei. 

Packaging 

Plastics open up endless possibilities 

for packaging. They are extremely 

lightweight, design potential is limitless 

and recycling is unproblematic.

See, touch, enjoy 

It is a scientifically proven fact: our shopping 

experience is always guided by what we see and 

feel. A stunning design, a pleasant touch, timeless 

beauty and decoration are hallmarks of the most 

successful consumer products, from a tiny MP3 

player to a car interior. And now, surfaces with 

functional layers are playing an increasing role 

in innovative products. 

design determines market success 

Soft-touch, depth effects, transparent, scratchproof 

surfaces, electrical conductivity or the lotus effect – 

surface properties are as varied as the wealth of 

product designs on the market. And rightly so, for 

product design is fast becoming the factor that 

clinches a sale. The trend is definitely shifting away 

from parts laboriously produced from solid materials 

and toward coated plastic parts. This conserves 

scarce resources, makes the product lighter and 

reduces unit manufacturing costs. 

Page 4 Solutions for surfaces 

in-line processes are more cost-effective 

Often, the specified effect can be achieved with 

a layer just a few micrometers thick. The days 

of producing parts, storing them, conditioning 

them and then painting or coating them are numbered. 

More and more processors are turning 

to KraussMaffei’s in-line processes which meld 

different process technologies together to improve 

the end-product and boost value-added. In-line, 

multitechnology processes are also ideal for adding 

extra protective layers to extend the life of the 

surface effect. 

Maximum economy and yield 

More and more new combinations of materials 

with matching process solutions are opening the 

way for new surface effects. These can be a specific 

look&feel, value-adding functionality or extra decorative 

scope. The real challenge lies in configuring 

a production solution for these surfaces that is both 

cost-competitive and highly repeatable. KraussMaffei 

has already developed a portfolio of processing 

solutions all of which meet these criteria; they 

maximize productivity and return on investment. 

KraussMaffei is unique in having in-house expertise 

in injection molding, extrusion and reaction processes. 

Combining these processes in what we call 

“Technology to the Power of Three” generates unrivalled 

scope when it comes to innovative surfaces.

For that critical first impression 

The first impression of a product is often the de - 

fining impression. But high-spec optical properties 

are often critical for functionality – for instance, 

with lenses or headlight components. Modular 

machine design means that KraussMaffei can offer 

a wide choice of processes which are strongly innovative, 

but already tried and tested in the field. 

Planetcalander for optical clarity in film 

and sheet 

There are many applications for film where optics 

play a major role – think of packaging or technical 

films for surface applications. The extrusion lines 

used to produce them must meet the highest criteria 

for precision and repeatability. Homogenous ma - 

terial processing is important, and the polishing 

stack also plays a decisive role in extruding optically 

clear film and sheet. Engineered for great flexibility, 

KraussMaffei Berstorff’s PlanetCalander can adapt 

cooling performance to different materials and 

sheet thicknesses. Furthermore, it’s engineered 

for rapid set-up to significantly speed up product 

changes. 

Precise reproduction of even miniscule 

structures 

Gentle processing of the raw materials is the first 

essential step towards premium surface quality. 

Especially for transparent materials, such as PC, 

the way the polymer is melted and homogenized is 

of first importance. Over the years, KraussMaffei 

has built up immense competence in this field. In 

addition, we have a high level of vertical integration 

in the design and manufacture of plasticizing 

units, as well as an in-house R&D team working 


on screw geometries. It all adds up to plasticizing 

units that guarantee gentle melt processing and 

very good mixing of additives and pigment for 

many different materials. 

Painting and coating in open and closed molds 

The ColorForm process, the latest addition to the 

Technology3 family, combines injection molding 

with a polyurethane reaction process. A paint system 

is applied to the substrate in the closed mold – 

precisely, in thin layers and with very economical 

use of paint. These paints cure completely in the 

closed mold. Instead of a substrate that still needs 

to be painted, the ColorForm process adds value by 

producing a ready-painted part. The reliability and 

reproducibility of the coating process and the use of 

highly compatible material combinations together 

reduce the reject rate to close to zero and drastically 

shorten the manufacturing cycle. KraussMaffei 

is currently the only company offering processes 

where coatings and paint are applied in open and 

in closed molds. 

lfi process for smooth surfaces 

Some structural parts, subject to high mechanical 

stresses, nonetheless need decorative surface 

coatings. KraussMaffei’s LFI process produces 

glassfiber-reinforced parts with smooth surfaces. 

Fiber from a roving is chopped to length in a cutter 

unit, wetted with the polyurethane system in the 

mixing head and discharged into the mold, where 

the part is pressed into shape. The LFI process 

stands for high fiber content and smooth surfaces. 

Processors can add value to the part by combining 

LFI with cost-effective surface coating processes.

All-round performers: 

functional surfaces add value 

Modern processing solutions from KraussMaffei 

produce parts that look brilliant and perform 

important functions as well – such as holding, 

protecting, and insulating. For instance, heavy-duty 

brackets guarantee a secure hold, while barrier 

layers protect against frictional wear and tear, 

block emissions and prevent deterioration caused 

by weathering. 

Weatherable and uv-resistant sheet 

KraussMaffei Berstorff extrusion lines take all 

kinds of raw materials and turn them into sheet 

material that is transparent, scratchproof, impactand 

UV-resistant. Weatherable PVC free-foam sheet 

is produced to a high surface finish on extrusion 

lines featuring a embossing/haul-off combination. 

And you will find complete systems for producing 

PVC siding profiles for building exteriors in our 

solutions portfolio, too. 

reliable protection with a few micrometers 

The CoverForm process, developed by KraussMaffei 

and Evonik, makes transparent PMMA parts 

scratchproof and wear-resistant. A protective layer 

just a few micrometers thick is applied in the mold 

straight after the injection molding stage. This saves 

the logistics effort for intermediate storage and 

post-mold coating. It also eliminates any factors 

that could impair quality. 

functional integration in one step 

Parts injection molded from transparent polymers 

such as PC and PMMA are increasingly replacing 

their heavier glass counterparts. Apart from 

the weight savings, benefits include more design 


freedom combined with excellent surface quality. 

KraussMaffei offers a range of compression 

molding processes for producing these kinds of lowstress 

parts. Compression molding is also ideal for 

large-format parts with an area of more than one 

square meter, such as bezels for large TV screens, 

and automotive glazing. Thanks to SpinForm, our 

swivel-platen technology, extra functionality can 

be integrated into the part in a single-sequence process. 

A center platen, with a swivel unit, mounted 

between the mold clamping platens enables separate 

high-precision compression processes in two 

parting lines. Combining swivel-platen technology 

with glazing technology makes for single-cycle, 

cost-effective production of design-driven parts, 

for example, parts which look stunning and also 

integrate concealed mounting elements. 

High-quality surfaces 

for fiber-reinforced parts 

Our reaction process machinery portfolio encompasses 

a large number of fiber-composite technologies. 

They will produce parts featuring mechanical 

strength, high-quality surfaces and give you the 

option of integrating extra functionality. The parts 

can provide thermal and acoustic insulation, a 

pleasant, soft-touch effect or enhanced mechanical 

performance. Typical examples are glassfiberreinforced 

parts which combine low weight with 

high mechanical strength. The real challenge here 

is to create a flawless surface with no visible fibers. 

KraussMaffei also supplies in-line processes to add 

value to these parts with coatings and other surface 

finishes.

Haptics 


The touch of class – KraussMaffei offers a 

number of technology and process options 

for creating pleasant haptics. 

Page 17

HAPticS 

Luxury at economy rates: 

near-natural touch 

Millions of receptors on our skin are constantly 

receiving information from our surroundings 

about hardness, texture, smoothness or roughness, 

absorbency and temperature. People have developed 

a preference for certain surfaces because, 

to their minds, such surfaces are associated with 

high-quality goods. KraussMaffei offers a choice 

of process for cost-competitive production of 

surfaces with very attractive haptics. 

Multinject for hard-soft combinations 

Product designers are increasingly creating parts 

that have both hard and soft areas, eg, for a better 

grip or to create a pleasant look&feel. Multicomponent 

technology from KraussMaffei offers virtually 

unlimited scope for producing such hard-soft combinations. 

The outcome is parts with the optimum 

symbiosis of touch and looks and, given the right 

combination, added value. 

leather-like feel for the touch of luxury 

Around the world, leather upholstery in cars is 

perceived as a visible and tangible sign of luxury. 

SkinForm from KraussMaffei is the first process to 

simulate leather reproducibly and cost-effectively 

using polymers. This multicomponent process 

combines injection molding and polyurethane processing 

– a thermoplastic substrate is molded in the 

first cycle and then immediately overmolded with a 

soft PU surface. Soft-touch surfaces have a realistic 

grain and are deceptively like natural leather in 

the way they feel. What is more, they are highly 

scratch-resistant and durable. 


Aging-resistant, scratchproof sheets 

KraussMaffei Berstorff extrusion lines are used to 

convert various kinds of materials into technical 

sheets for vehicle interiors, instrument panels and 

door panels as well as decor films for furniture. 

Not only are the sheet and films free of halogens 

and plasticizers, they are also scratch-resistant, 

and impart a touch of luxury to every car interior. 

Again, the elegant leather look with its high-resolution 

grain structures is created on KraussMaffei 

machinery. And the films and sheet offer exemplary 

low-temperature flexibility and aging resistance. 

coating complex 3d shapes 

Our Reaction Process Machinery division can 

supply various processes for enhancing the tactile 

properties of parts. These include fully automated 

processes for casting skins of high-quality 

surfaces and constant wall thickness. SpraySkin 

is another popular process – a robot mounting a 

special mixing head sprays a polyurethane skin 

into a mold. This method can produce complex 

three-dimensional shapes and a range of surface 

grainings.

Decoration 


Good looks with a purpose – decorative surfaces 

for films, fabrics or carpets have many functions, 

but they can all be produced on KraussMaffei 

machines. 

Page 21

decorAtion 

From simple films to eye-catching decors 

Surface decoration can produce a wealth of 

different effects – from informative in-mold labels 

to transparent coatings that produce a deep-gloss 

surface finish. 

film and foil reduce printing effort 

Decors are often applied by injecting a plastic 

substrate behind a film or foil, which may or may 

not have been preshaped. In-mold labeling saves the 

cost and effort of printing on 3-dimensional containers; 

instead the preprinted decor film is inserted in 

the mold before the container is injection molded. 

InsertForm is a process whereby preformed film and 

foil is back injected. A great variety of ma terials 

can be used, eg, metallic film which gives a part 

not only the look of steel, but also the metal’s coldtouch 

effect. 

no solvents or adhesives with decoform 

The DecoForm process can produce parts with 

textile, carpet or film surfaces. A KraussMaffei 

robot inserts the decor in the mold. An injection 

molding machine then injects a backing or substrate 

behind the insert material in a back-injection or 

back-compression process. The low cavity pressures 

required by this process make it ideal for surface 

decors that are highly pressure- and temperaturesensitive. 

DecoForm has lower environmental 

impact, because it requires no solvents or adhesives. 


The DecoForm process is also right for processing 

natural materials, such a wood veneers, and any 

type of film. Many of the films inserts used have 

been produced on KraussMaffei Berstorff film 

extrusion lines. 

Perfect mixing however small the shot 

Luxury deep-gloss effects can be produced costcompetitively 

with Clear Coat Molding. Highquality 

substrates, such as luxury wood veneers, are 

coated, in the mold, with a thin layer of a highly 

transparent 2-component PU system. Optimized 

temperature control ensures precision metering even 

at very low output rates. Here too, KraussMaffei 

supplies complete solutions, including mold, mold 

carriers and post-mold trimming. Another process 

uses paints and PU systems.

Making intelligent polymer 

parts in a single cycle 


Looking ahead, totally new functional surfaces are 

on the agenda. For instance, KraussMaffei already 

offers production solutions for parts with integrated 

heating or with illuminated surfaces. Sensors can 

be integrated in a part in a single-sequence injection 

process; all that needs to be done post-mold 

is to connect them up. When users later touch the 

intelligent components they activate defined light 

or heating effects. 

On the materials side, KraussMaffei has become 

the development partner of choice for leading 

manufacturers wanting application-specific processing 

solutions for innovative material combinations. 

As a result, KraussMaffei process engineers have a 

clear know-how lead. In particular, turnkey process 

solutions configured using tried-and-tested components 

are an assurance that production can start 

immediately. This gives processors a significant 

competitive advantage; they can react fast to changing 

market trends confident that they will be able to 

produce innovative surfaces in very high quality at 

an acceptable cost. 

Innovative functional integration: sensor and 

luminaire functionality are integrated when 

the product is injection molded.

KrAuSSMAffei – A Strong PArtner

Visions & technologies 

Be in the forefront with new trends 

New process development is on-going. Think of 

color effects added as part of the injection molding 

process, so that processors can produce a popular 

metal look without a separate painting process. Or 

look at the potential for adapting the SkinForm 

process to other products. Cost-effective solutions 

for brushed metal finishes or a glossy piano lacquer 

look promote new trends for decorative elements. 

Thanks to KraussMaffei’s well-established modular 

engineering, machines can be adapted very rapidly 

to keep pace with the latest trends in surface design. 

It’s a significant competitive advantage for our 

customers. 

The "Avenue of Technologies" of KraussMaffei was a striking demonstration of the endless portfolio of technology 

solutions for plastics processing.
