卫生和饮用水领域新推出的软管材料 


这些产品符合了从2025年3月开始全面强制执行的KTW BWGL指南。


凯柏胶宝® 将在Fakuma 2023 展会上展示一款适用于卫生和饮用水管道及软管的创新THERMOLAST® DW系列。

抗折弯并符合KTW-BWGL标准的材料

凯柏胶宝® 推出了一系列可用于卫生和饮用水管道及软管应用的热塑性弹性体(TPE)。这些创新产品满足了德国环境局(KTW-BWGL标准)制定的严格评估标准,特别是与饮用水接触的塑料和其他有机材料方面,而这些标准将于2025年3月起对TPE材料生效。这些化合物具有易加工性,能够为管道和软管提供极为光滑的表面、显著改善的机械性能和出色的阻抗性能。这些新材料将在Fakuma 2023的展会上展示。

瓦尔德克赖堡,2023年10月17日 - 自2022年3月起,德国环境局(KTW-BWGL标准)制定的塑料和其他与饮用水接触的有机材料的评估标准将运用到热塑性弹性体(TPE),并伴有三年的过渡期。因此,家用电器如洗碗机的饮用水供应的管道和软管的接触层也必须在2025年3月之前满足这些要求。

“通过我司的全新THERMOLAST® DW/H2系列,我们正在支持那些致力于满足更严格KTW-BWGL标准的卫生和饮用水管道供应市场的客户。与此同时,我们为符合标准的TPE化合物的性能设定了更高的标准,”凯柏胶宝®的行业市场经理Hartmut Arheidt说道。“创新的材料技术使管道具有明显提高的抗张程度、撕裂强度、断裂伸长率以及出色的抗折弯性能。”

全新独特的THERMOLAST® DW系列取代了以前的DW/H系列产品,目前提供六种不同硬度的等级,从70 Shore A到40 Shore D(请参阅表I)。这些化合物可以在传统的聚烯烃挤出线上轻松加工,非常适合高效生产冷水和热水的管道,提供高达50% 更好的机械性能和与PP包胶的良好性能。同时,这些TPE化合物还具有极其光滑的表面,具备了EN 16421(旧称:DVGW W270)微生物生长所需的抵抗能力,且不会对经过管道的水的气味、味道或清澈度产生影响。

THERMOLAST® DW/H2化合物扩展了TPE在这一市场领域的潜在应用,特别适用于淋浴管、压力软管、食品软管以及洗碗机和洗衣机中的供应管道。它们是在与客户紧密合作的情况下开发的。

“我们也可以提供符合新的KTW-BWGL标准的测试报告,”Hartmut Arheidt 补充说。“它们确认了这些材料是合适的。我们可以随时向客户、潜在客户和合作伙伴提供样品检查材料。”

凯柏胶宝® 将在2023年10月17日至21日于弗里德里希港举行的Fakuma 2023展会上展示新的THERMOLAST® DW/H2系列,展位号为B5-5303。




New for hoses in the sanitary and drinking water sector 


The products already comply with the stricter KTW BWGL guideline, which will be mandatory from March 2025.

KRAIBURG TPE will be presenting a new THERMOLAST® DW series for sanitary and drinking water tubes and hoses at Fakuma 2023.

Kink-resistant and tested in accordance with the KTW-BWGL standard

KRAIBURG TPE has launched a new series of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for tubes and hoses used in sanitary and drinking water applications. These innovative products already meet the stricter evaluation criteria for plastics and other organic materials in contact with drinking water established by the German Environment Agency (KTW-BWGL standard), which will become binding for TPEs from March 2025. The compounds are characterized by easy processability and provide tubes and hoses with extremely smooth surfaces, considerably improved mechanical properties and excellent kink resistance. The new compounds will be presented at Fakuma 2023.

The innovative materials technology leads to tubes and hoses that have considerably improved tensile strength, tear resistance and elongation at break as well as excellent kink resistance.

Waldkraiburg, 17 October 2023 – Since March 2022 and with a transition period of three years, the updated evaluation criteria for plastics and other organic materials in contact with drinking water set up by the German Environment Agency (KTW-BWGL standard) have also applied to TPEs. The contact layer in tubes and hoses used for drinking water supply in household appliances such as dishwashers will accordingly have to meet these requirements from March 2025, too.

“With our new THERMOLAST® DW/H2 series, we are supporting customers who supply the market for sanitary and drinking water tubes and hoses in their effort to meet the stricter KTW-BWGL standard. At the same time, we have set a considerably higher standard for the performance of compliant TPE compounds,” says Hartmut Arheidt, Market Manager Industry at KRAIBURG TPE. “The innovative materials technology leads to tubes and hoses that have considerably improved tensile strength, tear resistance and elongation at break as well as excellent kink resistance.”

The unique new THERMOLAST® DW generation replaces the products in the previous DW/H series and is currently available in six hardness grades, ranging from 70 Shore A to 40 Shore D (see table I). Easily processable on conventional extrusion lines for polyolefins, the compounds are suitable for efficient manufacturing of cold water and warm water tubes and hoses, providing up to 50% better mechanical properties and good adhesion to PP. At the same time, the TPE compounds also provide the necessary resistance to the growth of microorganisms in accordance with EN 16421 (formerly DVGW W270) due to their extremely smooth surfaces and have no impact on the odor, taste or clarity of water flowing through the tubes and hoses.

The THERMOLAST® DW/H2 compounds expand the potential applications for TPEs in this market segment and are particularly suitable for shower tubes, pressure hoses and food hoses as well as for supply tubing in dishwashers and washing machines. They have been developed in close cooperation with customers.

“Test reports on compliance with the regulations of the new KTW-BWGL are also available to us,” adds Hartmut A

rheidt. “They confirm that the materials are generally suitable. We can gladly provide materials for sampling inspections to customers and prospective customers and partners at any time.”

KRAIBURG TPE will be presenting the new THERMOLAST® DW/H2 series at Fakuma 2023, held from 17 to 21 October in Friedrichshafen, at Booth B5-5303.
