窗户不仅是您可以看到的开口，还可以将建筑物与外界联系起来，并充当清淡和新鲜空气的管道。窗户中使用的绝缘玻璃的质量对于舒适的室内气候很重要。如今，窗户板之间的空间几乎总是充满高贵的气体，以增强绝缘层。即使经过多年的风化，海豹也必须保持完整。封闭绝缘窗玻璃的主要密封剂必须不渗透气汽油和水蒸气。基于Oppanol®的主要密封剂，由oppanol®提供巴斯夫，满足这些严格的要求。柔性，防水且耐紫外线辐射，Oppanol也非常耐用。这就是为什么用于绝缘玻璃的主要密封剂制造商，例如KömmerlingChemische Fabrik GmbH，Pirmasens，Germany，使用Lud -Wigshafen的BASF的PIB。
“We have been using Oppanol from BASF for many decades, and we are very satisfied with the product,” says Ernst Semar, who is responsible for product management and marketing at Kömmerling. Kömmerling is a leading international manufacturer of high-quality adhesives and sealants. The company has been supplying systems to the insulated glass, automotive and construction in¬dustries for more than 110 years. Kömmerling is the market leader for insulated glass sealants, and its products are sold in more than 80 countries worldwide. “We selected BASF as our supplier of PIB for reasons of quality, price, service and innovation,” says Semar.
Kömmerling uses Oppanol® in the manufacture of a plastic sealant that holds the sheets of glass to the spacer that keeps them apart. The sealant forms a barrier between the glass and the spacer that is impermeable to gases. “Moisture is prevented from entering from outside, and the glass remains free of condensation. The sealant also ensures that the noble gas that is used to improve the heat insulation is not allowed to escape from the voids between the panes,” explains Semar. Poorly insulated windows are expensive, and the latest calculations show that around 40 percent of energy used for heating the average house escapes through the windows. High-quality insu¬lated window sealants made from Oppanol® help to save money. It is also very important to Kömmerling that its products are environmentally friendly. “Oppanol® is a material that is very easy to process, and it’s excellent from an ecological point of view,” says the product manager.
The close cooperation between BASF and Kömmerling is not restricted to Europe. In 2000, Kömmerling was acquired by ADCO Global Inc., based in Chicago, Illinois. Since then, there has been intensive cooperation between Kömmerling/ADCO and BASF Corporation in Florham Park, New Jersey. Saving energy has become an important issue in the United States because of the constant rises in heating fuels in recent years, and the awareness of the importance of energy conser¬vation shown by the general public has been a source of encouragement to Kömmerling/ADCO and BASF. “In America, the level of interest that is being shown in high-quality insulated glass sealants made from Oppanol® is increasing constantly,” says Timea Marsalko, Ph.D., BASF business manager for polyisobutene in the United States.
Marsalko博士解释说，这种合作的目的是提高美国媒体和决策者的认识，例如建筑公司和建筑师对生态效率高效的建筑物和环保材料的认识。欧洲杯足球竞彩该领域的一个重要问题是窗口的绝缘。客户的需求是什么？我们可以在市场上推出新产品吗？这些是巴斯夫和Kömmerling/ADCO的销售人员在问自己的问题。Marsalko说：“我们正在共同制定新的营销策略，并符合巴斯夫的“帮助客户更成功”的原则。”
如今，巴斯夫与Kömmerling/ADCO的关系集中在营销创新上，该创新即将介绍给美国市场。Kömmerling在欧洲新型热塑性间隔技术（TPS®）的开发中发挥了领导作用。第一个TPS®系统于1990年代中期在欧洲市场推出。在此之前，传统上用铝制垫片杆将玻璃片固定在适当的位置。“由于金属是热量的良好导体，因此无法防止这种复合结构的热量逸出。如果外部温度较低，则可以在窗户边缘的边缘形成冷凝水。由PIB制成的间隔者可以防止热量损失，这对增强的不断增强做出了重要贡献。“与铝制垫片杆不同，它们不需要弯曲，并且可以在完全自动化的生产线上安装在玻璃上。”
The partnership between these two leading companies in their respective fields of technology is paying dividends in a number of ways. “TPS® is a significant new application for Oppanol®, and it is a good example of the innovative potential that can be realized by close cooperation between BASF and Kömmerling/ADCO,” says Erwin Czech, Ph.D., BASF’s sales manager for polyisobutene in Europe.
