New activators from Brüggemann presented at the DKT

The German Rubber Confer­ence (DKT), which was post­poned by one year due to the pandemic, took place together with the Inter­na­tional Rubber Confer­ence (IRC) from June 27th to 30th, 2022 in Nurem­berg. After four intensive days, this important trade fair for the rubber industry ended on a very positive note and with great satis­fac­tion on the part of all those repres­enting Brügge­mann.

Over 250 companies from all over the world presented their products and innov­a­tions at the DKT this year. Among them Brügge­mann with two new devel­op­ments in the field of zinc-based activ­ators for rubber vulcan­iz­a­tion. 

The use of the activ­ator TP 1850 allows the replace­ment of zinc oxide in the vulcan­iz­a­tion of both polar and non-polar rubbers. The adhe­sion promoter TP 1862 enables the replace­ment of cobalt and resor­cinol in steel cord adhesive compounds.

Both new products are in the form of gran­ules (master­batch) and thus make it much easier to incor­porate them into the rubber, which can be done more quickly and homo­gen­eously.

The IRC science confer­ence, which was taking place at the same time, also offered a wide range of lectures with 133 present­a­tions and 36 posters on all topics relating to the rubber industry. With a poster contri­bu­tion, Brügge­mann under­scored its ambi­tious plan to offer a new gener­a­tion of tailor-made activ­ators and addit­ives for rubber vulcan­iz­a­tion using reactive extru­sion.

Brügge­mann's pres­ence at the DKT was very posit­ively received, with more than 60 inquiries being received at the booth.

Commis­sioning of New Biomass Heating Plant at the Heil­bronn Site

With the commis­sioning of its new biomass heating plant in 2023, Brugge­mann will change its energy supply at the Heil­bronn site from fossil to renew­able energy sources. In future, we will use about 15,000 metric tons of biomass per year to cover our heating require­ments. 

With our innov­ative biomass heating plant, we not only focuse on effi­cient energy gener­a­tion, but also create a signi­ficant bond to sustain­ab­ility. The CO2 emis­sions of our products is decreasing consid­er­ably. 

In turn our customers profit directly, redu­cing their carbon foot­print and bene­fiting by supporting their sustain­ab­ility goals. Brugge­mann creates a future where advanced chem­istry and sustain­able thinking are the essen­tial bond.
