LITOPLAST

In the field of plastics we offer metal strips with PVC plastisol and/or organosol coatings, as well as polyamide plastics. PP (polypropylene), PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and PLA (polyactide), TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) and others. These can be produced with a layer thickness of 5-200 μm Depending on the plastic, higher layer thicknesses can also be achieved. In addition, most plastics can also be equipped with antibacterial properties; of course in all colour variations. Although a one-sided coating more common, we are able to apply the same and/or different plastic adhesives for both sides.

The processing of granules into coated long products requires high precision with tools and machine settings as well as sound expertise in the specific characteristics of the materials. As an extrusion specialist of steel cables and other long products such as wires, glass-fibre rods, we offer a wide service range: Plastic coating from ca. 0.5 to 24mm, PA, PE, PP, PUR and PVC and more, additives for special requirements, such as the UV and water resistance, circular cross sections and special dimensions and stock colours or your own selection.

Rubber-to-metal bonding Our adhesive build-up provides strong bonding between our metal carrier and your rubber. With our know-how, we are able to bond a wide variety of compounds such as NBR, CR, EPDM, SBR etc. for you. Plastic-to-metal bonding Whether PC (polycarbonate), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), CAB (cellulose acetobutryate), PP (polypropylene), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), PA (polyamide) and polyolefinic plastics or other thermoplastics as well as duroplastics - we ensure that you achieve optimum adhesion between the plastic and our metal carrier.

An innovation for decorative applications is the stripe coating on our narrow Coil Coating line at First American. This is a complete coil coating process in which we are able to leave tightly toleranced, unpainted stripes on the carrier strip. These give the decorative effect to the finished article, while the coated areas are coated with an adhesive system (e.g. automotive trim material or white coating with a defined black stripe, etc.). As always, all metal strips available on the market can be used as metal carriers; all coatings can also be used. This leads to a smart product, allowing you a multitude of new, innovative applications.
