It's not just the ovens that are state of the art
In cooperation with the Weiss technology software S!mpati, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is updating its IT infrastructure and data management for the manufacture of plastic products. In addition to an optimized reheating process, this will result in further efficiency gains.

Gaskets without PFAS? (www.polyformnext.de)
Fraunhofer study examines the effects of a PFAS ban
A ban on fluoropolymers would have a drastic impact on a large number of industries. But what challenges are associated with the search for suitable substitutes? The Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials (IWM) has investigated this together with materials experts from the Freudenberg Group.

2nd place, category materials and materials processing: Freudenberg
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has succeeded in developing a sealing innovation that reliably seals rectangular busbars and can prevent associated damage to the power electronics of electric vehicles. The overmolding took second place in the Materials and Material Processing category in the competition for the Products of the Year 2024.

Freudenberg plant in Parets del Vallès (www.polyformnext.de)
Fully powered by renewable energy
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has inaugurated a new production facility in Parets del Vallès, Spain. The completelyCO2-neutral factory, which manufactures components for the automotive market, increases production capacity by 15 percent. Freudenberg has invested more than eleven million euros in the new plant.

Fire protection (www.polyformnext.de)
Temperature-resistant plastics for electric cars
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is helping to improve fire protection in electric vehicle drives with a new class of material. The solution is called Quantix Ultra and does not melt even at very high temperatures of up to 1,200 degrees Celsius.

Freudenberg supplies Ypsomed (www.polyformnext.de)
Rod seal for portable insulin pump
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has expanded its cooperation with the Swiss medical technology specialist Ypsomed. The company has developed a special rod seal for insulin pumps, the order volume of which has now increased significantly.

Nomination Products of the Year 2024 (www.polyformnext.de)
Freudenberg: Securely sealing rectangular shapes
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has succeeded in developing a sealing innovation that reliably seals rectangular busbars and can prevent associated damage to the power electronics of electric vehicles. The overmolding is nominated in Category 4: Materials and Material Processing.

Nomination Products of the Year 2024 (www.polyformnext.de)
Freudenberg: Quantix ULTRA
With Quantix ULTRA, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has developed a semi-crystalline cross-linked material family that does not melt at temperatures of more than 1,200 degrees Celsius and remains dimensionally stable. The plastic has been nominated in the Product of the Year competition in Category 4: Materials and Materials Processing.

Nomination Products of the Year 2024 (www.polyformnext.de)
Freudenberg: ETU-free compound for crosslinking chloroprene rubber
Benchmark for new elastomer compounds: Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has developed an ETU-free compound for crosslinking chloroprene rubber that meets the requirements of the automotive industry and has been nominated for this in Category 4: Materials and Materials Processing in the competition for Products of the Year 2024.

Freudenberg (www.polyformnext.de)
Flexible sealing solution for cobot applications
Flexible and wear-resistant with minimal friction losses: these were the main requirements for Freudenberg when developing a new seal for cobots. The versatile robot arms thus became the driver for a completely new design.

Patented seal for better drinking water (www.polyformnext.de)
Polyurethane was the right solution
In water treatment devices, the transition between the valve of a carbon dioxide cartridge and the pressure-reducing valve on the device itself must be reliably sealed. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has developed a patented seal made of high-performance polyurethane for this purpose.

Thermally conductive and electrically... (www.polyformnext.de)
New material with united opposites
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is presenting a new material with a wide range of applications for the automotive industry: a silicone material that is thermally conductive, electrically insulating, can be processed by injection molding and adheres to plastics, aluminum and copper, thus compensating for roughness.

Seal with self-diagnosis (www.industrial-production.de)
Meaningful data on the service life of the seal
Seals prevent substances from penetrating or entering technical components. The intelligent seals from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies can significantly expand this core task in the future: the seal itself is also a sensor and becomes a "smart seal" thanks to its "built-in" functionality via materials and design.

Food and beverages (www.polyformnext.de)
Sealing materials for worldwide use
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has expanded its portfolio of materials for global use in the food and beverage industry to include additional engineering plastics.

Tailor-made high-performance plastics (www.polyformnext.de)
Composite materials against friction and wear in gearboxes
Thermoplastic components are usually produced on the basis of standard compounds. Until now, this has also been the case for high-performance plastics such as PEEK, the polymer for high operating temperatures.

Compound Fluoroxprene (www.industrial-production.de)
New material reduces fuel vapors
One of the biggest challenges is the transition to a resource-saving economy. With its new development Fluoroxprene, Freudenberg shows how materials can contribute to this. Originally designed for fuel lines, the compound has the potential for future-oriented sealing solutions.

Rethinking injection molding (www.polyformnext.de)
Sustainability as a driver for quality and efficiency
There is a persistent fear that sustainable production can only be achieved at the expense of efficiency and profitability. However, the development of a new injection molding machine is intended to prove that this is possible without compromising on performance and profitability.

Innovations for the aviation industry (www.polyformnext.de)
New materials for refractory seals
Seals in engines have to withstand peak temperatures of more than 1000 degrees Celsius. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is now researching particularly lightweight reinforcements and fiberless silicone-based alternatives.
Lightweight construction (www.polyformnext.de)
Products made of liquid silicone considerably lighter
Components can even be made to float with an appropriately adjusted liquid silicone. This opens up completely new application ideas.
