Paper machine clothing - press felts, dryer and forming fabrics - are precision wear parts. With every machine pass they run across grooved rolls, through press nips, and are continuously loaded with water, fibres and process chemistry. The edges are especially critical: shear forces, redirections and guide elements cause the first fatigue cracks here. Without effective edge protection, the service life of the clothing drops dramatically.

Polyurethane processing has never been this accessible. While BKT Germany realises complex large-scale projects and tailored machine solutions, our webshop at www.flexonal.de offers the direct route for developers, craftspeople and series manufacturers. Whether you are developing a prototype for a new electronics component, planning a small series of high-quality knife handles or looking for a quick solution for wear protection in mechanical engineering: in the FLEXONAL® shop you will find our proven standard systems - ready to ship, lab-tested and in demand-appropriate quantities.

Electronics manufacturers know the problem: High-viscosity potting compounds often cannot be processed bubble-free on standard casting machines. Air inclusions in the component lead to expensive rework or scrap. But the problem rarely lies with just the machine or just the material - it lies in the lack of coordination between both.

Polyurethane is not all the same. Depending on the requirement - mechanical load capacity, insulation effect, surface quality or food compliance - a different system type is used. BKT Germany formulates all five system types from just 100 kg polyol, precisely matched to the customer profile. Here is an overview of when which system is the right choice.

A declaration of non-objection on the basis of BfR recommendations is available for Flexonal® VR 80/765. The system is suitable for food-contact applications such as edge reinforcements in paper and filter technology.
