Technical rubber compounds
Rubber Compounds
Rubber has become an indispensable material in the manufacture of cars and machinery, as well as hygiene products and in the field of environmentally friendly technologies.
There is hardly a material that has contributed as much to the progress of technology and modern industrialization as rubber. It has also led to revolutionary developments in many other fields and has become a standard feature of our daily lives. Today, rubber is an indispensable product with widespread applications, and this will not change in the foreseeable future.
KRAIBURG is therefore committed to continuously develop new rubber materials. These efforts aim at responding to the changing demands of the market with creative solutions, meeting the ever more stringent requirements.
For more than 65 years, KRAIBURG has been developing quality rubber compounds for a wide and versatile range of applications and products, meeting the specific requirements of its customers.

Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)
Thermoplastic Elastomers
Thermoplastic elastomers are as flexible as rubber (elastomers) and as easy to process as plastics (thermoplastics).
TPE thus combines the desired properties of plastics with the elastomer properties that are so important for product developers and designers. KRAIBURG TPE compounds are shipped in granule form ready for further processing.
Customers of KRAIBURG TPE operate mainly in the following fields:
- Car manufacture (interior, exterior and engine room)
- Industrial production (electronics, building construction, sanitary installations)
- Consumer goods production (care products, packaging, sports equipment, toys)
- Medical industry (health and medical products, packaging)

Stable flooring
KRAIBURG brings the pasture indoors – special products for animal husbandry
The products are tested not only in the in-house lab, but also in many test stables, by the animals themselves and by independent organizations. The DLG (Germany Agriculture Association, an independent specialized organization) has already distinguished many of the company’s products.
Comfort for dairy cows is not just a question of animal welfare and health but also plays a significant role as regards the profitability of the farm: Soft floors that are similar to the open pasture help cows develop normally and enhance their health and milk yield. The many years of experience make it possible to develop products that are specially optimized for diverse applications, whether for dairy cattle, young cattle, bulls or also for swine.

Composite Applications
Composite Applications
Fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), especially the high-tech material carbon, are experiencing very high growth rates.
The forces acting on the “material of the future” are absorbed primarily by the fibers. These fibers can withstand especially high loads longitudinally, although they are relatively intolerant to lateral strains, such as impact from a stone.
This is exactly where KRAIBON® comes into the picture: by integrating KRAIBON® in the composition of Fiber reinforced plastics it is possible to achieve an alternating structure of hard and soft material that combines the good mechanical properties of the FRC with the good “elastic” properties of the elastomer. The main areas of application are for improving acoustics and for impact and splintering protection.
The decisive advantage is achieved by direct integration of the elastomers in the normal manufacturing process for FRC components without additional bonding agents. This innovative technology is used specifically in industries such as automotive construction, aeronautics, rail vehicles and medical technology. Huge success has already been achieved with KRAIBON® in motor sports and in sports cars and super sports cars.
