Issue 38/2014 - ContiTech presents innovative solutions for coating and high-tech materials

At the China International Technical Textiles & Nonwovens exhibition held in Shanghai on September 24~26, ContiTech and ContiTech Rubber Coating, an important part of Continental, presented innovative solutions
for a wide range of coating materials and high-tech materials that can be widely used in gas storage, personal protective devices and self-vulcanization isolation.

In the field of personal protective equipment (PPE), ContiTech rubber coating innovative materials using the ContiBarrier System® system have better protection against chemicals and harmful gases than traditional materials used in disposable clothing
.
The system consists of an elastomeric composite material and two embedded ultra-thin polymer layers, which completely block the penetration
of various gaseous, liquid and solid media even if one barrier layer is broken or damaged.

In the field of gas storage, ContiTech develops and manufactures gas-filled tank diaphragms based on various substrates and rubber coatings for a wide range of applications, resistant to chemicals, heat, cold and pressure, which can be used to store steam and gases temporarily or for long periods of time while maintaining the required operating pressure
.

In the field of self-vulcanizing isolation, ContiTech has developed the Conti® Thermo-Protect insulation system
.
It is a very soft insulation material that can be used to improve the efficiency of complex piping systems and reduce heat loss by up to 80%.

This silicone material is self-vulcanizing at 80°C and can be used to form pastes, hoses or molded products for thermal
insulation of couplings and valves.
