Burr removal with infrared
If burrs on plastic molded parts cannot be avoided, they must at least be removed easily and reproducibly, as they interfere with further processing. At Fakuma in Friedrichshafen, Heraeus Noblelight will be demonstrating the possibilities offered by modern infrared systems.

Antimicrobial technology as an additive for plastics
Microorganisms not only pose a threat to human health, they also cause economic damage. The new AGXX technology marketed by Heraeus has a long-lasting effect against all types of microorganisms and puts a stop to them. It is also presented in the webinar "AGXX in plastics".

Less surface resistance
New conductive polymers from the Clevios family from Heraeus reduce the surface resistances on flexible and foldable touchscreens by more than 50 percent and thus improve the conductivity and transmission of the wafer-thin display layers, according to the manufacturer.
