An innovation for decorative applications is the stripe coating on our narrow Coil Coating line at First American. This is a complete coil coating process in which we are able to leave tightly toleranced, unpainted stripes on the carrier strip. These give the decorative effect to the finished article, while the coated areas are coated with an adhesive system (e.g. automotive trim material or white coating with a defined black stripe, etc.). As always, all metal strips available on the market can be used as metal carriers; all coatings can also be used. This leads to a smart product, allowing you a multitude of new, innovative applications.

We have engineered a range of TPE compounds specifically designed to address the requirements for automotive mats - the Dryflex AM range. These materials combine the performance of thermoset rubbers with the processability of plastics. Applications for Dryflex AM materials include floor mats, trunk liners, coin mats, fascia mats and trim. For automotive floor mats the materials needs to have high scratch and abrasion resistance. It is also critical that the material is non-slip, even when wet. The material structure of Dryflex AM compounds produces the surface finish and high friction required. Dryflex AM materials are low odour and fogging. They require no vulcanisation and are 100% recyclable during production, making them easier to process than vulcanised EPDM with fewer steps. This means less energy is used and production is faster and more cost-efficient. Benefits of Dryflex AM TPEs Low odour Low fogging Lightweight 100% recyclable - 0% waste Easy to process with short cycle tim

The trend – particularly in the automotive industry – is towards lightweight materials. Aluminium and magnesium alloys are in increasing use in many fields of technology. So fastening technology needs to adapt too. Aluminium offers countless options because the material is so versatile for cold forming. Under the Alufast® name ARNOLD UMFORMTECHNIK has brought together screw fasteners and form parts made from aluminium. Our many years of experience working with aluminium, including extensive research are your guarantee of optimum fastening results. We are constantly optimising our processes, ensuring that our Alufast® products are always at the latest state of technology.
