4 Expertise in mechanics Repacement of metas and composites Many appications ca for materias with high strengths, whie at the same time they have to be ight especiay in the case of components subject to dynamic stress. Generay, properties such as ow therma expansion, high dimensiona accuracy and ong-term dimensiona stabiity are additionay required. We meet these demands with speciay fibre-reinforced compounds particuary through the use of carbon-fibre reinforcement. Of particuar importance amongst these compounds are the product ranges LUVOCOM XCF high-strength materias and LUVOCOM LW ightweight materias. Carbon-fibre reinforced thermopastics Typica appications for carbon-fibre reinforced compounds are fast-moving components in the construction of machinery and apparatus for exampe thread carriers, pump impeers, gear whees, cams and connecting rods. In the automotive sector, these materias are used in air and exhaust management, in vacuum pumps, steering units as we as in the drive train. In aviation, the ow weight and the stiffness of carbon-fibre-reinforced compounds open up countess opportunities in ightweight construction exampes incude use for uggage racks and structura eements. As an aternative to auminium in the fabrication of casings, too, carbon fibre-reinforced materias have proven their worth with appications aso incuding eectromagnetic shieding (EMC). LUVOCOM XCF - Outstanding mechanica properties LUVOCOM XCF offers fexura strengths of up to 530 MPa and tensie modui of up to 52 GPa, as we as ow therma extension, improved therma conductivity and high dimensiona accuracy. As a resut, it provides even greater scope for repacing metas and composite materias (CFRP and GFRP). LUVOCOM XCF compounds are used for components subject to high mechanica requirements. The motivation for this is the reduction in weight and costs. Another approach is to substitute pastics with short and ong gass-fibre reinforcement in appications where additiona weight savings are required. Exampes of such appications are ifts with high-performance motors or eectric drive systems. Additiona weight savings of up to 30% are possibe with LUVOCOM XCF compounds. Lower fier eves mean better processing characteristics and hence greater freedom in design. The materias can be processed in conventiona injection mouding procedures without the need for specia machines or techniques. LUVOCOM XCF for stronger and tougher parts. Exampe with PA 66 compounds Tensie strength in MPa Impact strength in kj/m Moduus of easticity in GPa PA 66/XCF/ PA 66/CF/ PA 66/GF/30 Expertise in resistance High-temperature resistant compounds Through the use of high-temperature resistant poymers and with the addition of suitabe reinforcing materias, our compounds aso exhibit high mechanica strengths at eevated temperatures. Temperatures of up to 320 C are possibe in continuous operation. For brief periods, individua materias even withstand higher temperatures. Continuous operating temperatures of various poymers: PA 46 up to 150 C PPS up to 220 C PPA up to 160 C * and PEK* up to 260 C PEI and PES up to 180 C TPI up to 320 C Comparison of tensie strength for various LUVOCOM compounds based on different high-temperature resistant poymers. Tensie strength (MPa) Temperature ( C) High chemica resistance /XCF/30 PPA/CF/30 PA46/XCF/20 PPA/GF/30/PTFE PPS/CF/30/PTFE Resistance to chemicas is a basic requirement for a appications. We therefore suppy materias adapted to the appication that exhibit the necessary resistance. In medica technoogy, for exampe, we have compounds that withstand more than 500 steriization cyces. In the fied of oi and gas production, our compounds withstand high temperatures of up to 240 C at the same time as acidic suphur gases. In the automotive sector resistance to fues is demanded, and in food technoogy the materias have to withstand a arge number of substances. Good fire characteristics Another important materia property is fame resistance, ideay without the addition of fame retardants, as they generay have an adverse effect on other properties. This can be achieved with a number of high-performance poymers such as PPS, PEI and. It is not necessary to use haogen-containing additives. Support for the deveopment of fame-resistant compounds here comes from the use of our fire test chamber in the in-house aboratory. *Basis Victrex poymer 6 7

5 Expertise in triboogy Expertise in conductivity Materias taiored to the triboogica system Triboogicay optimized LUVOCOM compounds and LUVOCOM P powder materias for moving parts, such as friction bearings, gear whees, roers and siders, in countess appications. Through the incorporation of ubricants and reinforcing materias, we improve the wear, friction and running-in characteristics of poymers and hence of the triboogica system. The resut is systems requiring itte or no maintenance that function without additiona ubrication. In ubricated assembies, the dry-running properties of these materias come to the fore and thus increase the safety eve for designer and user aike. Among the ubricants used are PTFE, graphite and siicone oi, whie wear-reducing and reinforcing additives incude fibres of carbon, gass, aramid and mineras as we as ceramic materias. In this fied, we have ong been reying on nanotechnoogy and are abe to offer especiay ow-wear materias, aso without PTFE.

The various factors infuencing the triboogica system have to be taken into account. Exampes of these incude: materia of the counteracting partner, pressure, speed, sequence of movements, time, temperature, surface design, infuence of chemicas. The arge number of triboogica appications and the different requirements demand taior-made soutions. It is therefore aso possibe to set certain coefficients of friction, adapted to the triboogica system. Eectricay conductive compounds Conductive compounds have decisive advantages over metas or coatings: they offer a great degree of freedom in design; the finished parts have a ower weight, are easier and more cost-effective to manufacture and are aso tougher. Eectricay conductive poymeric materias are produced by adding conductive substances such as carbon fibres, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), stee fibres or graphites. The desired eectrica resistance can be adjusted during the process: from 10 9 ohm (antistatic formuation) to ess than ohm (conductive materias).

In addition to covers and machine parts for exposion-protected areas, eectrica and eectronic components, the range aso incudes casings and functiona parts for paper transport (exampes incude office machinery and cash dispensers). Conductive compounds are additionay used in carriers for eectricay sensitive products (eectronic components, exposive substances), where staticay generated eectricity has to be carried away immediatey in order to avoid disruption or exposions resuting from spark discharge.

6 Expertise in conductivity Thermay conductive compounds Pastics are poor heat conductors. The therma conductivity of poymers, incuding those with gass-fibre and carbon-fibre additives, ies between 0.1 and 0.4 W/mK. By incuding specia additives, we are abe to suppy materias with more than 40 W/mK. Eectricay conductive and eectricay insuating products are aso avaiabe. An up to 200-fod increase in therma conductivity with LUVOCOM TC Significanty increased therma conductivity with LUVOCOM TC. Exampes of compounds based on various poymers PPS PC TPE LCP PET/WT PEI PPS PPA PA LCP poymers Highy sought-after in many industries Wherever it is necessary to avoid overheating, thermay conductive materias are in demand. In the eectrica and eectronics industries, the heat dissipation from casings used for cois or housings for hard discs and other mass data storage devices can be increased through the use of thermay conductive LUVOCOM TC. The geometric design here is extremey fexibe: during injection mouding cooing fin structures can be achieved to aow even components with compex shapes to be competey encosed. In mechanica engineering LUVOCOM TC is suitabe for friction bearings and motor housings. And in the automotive sector, too, there are numerous possibe appications for eectronics components and ighting. Thermay conductive pastics bring a shine to LEDs W/mK A over the word the use of ighting systems with LED (ight emitting diodes) technoogy is on the increase. They can be found in appications such as automobies and iving areas. With the requirements of LED amp manufacturers particuary in mind, Lehmann&Voss&Co. has deveoped new thermay conductive pastics, which are used here as heat sinks and encosures. The materias are characterized by a speciay adjusted therma conductivity ranging from 0.6 to 8.0 W/mK, good strength figures, eectrica insuation, a white cooration and optiona fame retardation, tested to UL94 V0. PET, PA 6 and PC are often the base poymers. Thanks to the customized properties of the materias, the amps achieve a higher performance and service ife, whie the good processing characteristics permit freedom in design and aow cost savings compared with other materias such as metas and ceramics Measured by the hot disc method Expertise in weight LUVOCOM LW compounds with ow weight combined with high strength Products with high mechanica vaues that make especiay strong and stiff yet ightweight components possibe. Through LUVOCOM LW, for exampe, we suppy Innovative construction materias with carbon fibres and gass fibres that offer an additiona saving in weight and possess exceptiona mechanica properties. A vaue of 52 GPa is attained for the tensie moduus and a figure of 530 MPa is possibe for fexura strength. By designing the components to suit the materia and using the design freedoms open to pastics, it is aso possibe to achieve a significant reduction in the system costs of up to 70% and a reduction in weight of up 62% compared with other reinforced thermopastics. With these properties, the materias aso offer advantages over other systems such as composites (CFRP and GFRP) and nyon composite sheets. LUVOCOM HW Heavy compounds Generay the use of pastics invoves a saving in weight. There are appications in which the opposite is required, with one exampe being botte cosures for high-vaue spirits. The weight conveys quaity, but at the same time the costs for the cosure shoud remain within reasonabe bounds and innovative designs shoud be possibe. This can aso be impemented with pastic compounds. In LUVOCOM HW, we are offering high-density materias of up to 5.0 g/cm³. They are characterized by the foowing properties: Comparisons of various materias with identica strength Appications: structura part in car instrument panes Weight % Z 410 * Comparisons refer to magnesium A Si9Cu3 (Fe) Good processing characteristics Design freedom Cost savings compared with soutions using metas Printabe Metaizabe Pigmentabe Magnesium AZ91 LUVOCOM LUVOCOM PARA/CF/GF PARA/CF Weight % System costs % System costs % High-quaity and heavy cosures with LUVOCOM HW.

7 Expertise in protection Expertise in surfaces LUVOCOM ES Eectromagneticay shieding Being non-conductors (insuators), pastics are permeabe to eectromagnetic waves of up to approx. 100 GHz. A shieding effect is achieved by using conductive additives or coatings. This prevents eectromagnetic emissions and thus rues out any infuence on sensitive eectronic devices. LUVOCOM ES products are shieding thermopastic compounds. The specia combination of additives resuts in a unique properties profie. As a substitute for conductive coatings or meta inays, LUVOCOM ES compounds enabe considerabe cost savings to be made. LUVOCOM ES compounds are ready-to-use fu compounds with rheoogy that has been optimized for ease of processing and for injecting thin wa thicknesses. The LUVOCOM ES compounds offer effective screening attenuation, whie their high eectrica conductivity means that smaer contact surfaces are possibe for the required eectrica earthing. The innovative additive system aso enabes attractive surface finishes and tough materias. Fame-retardant LUVOCOM ES compounds are aso avaiabe. Pigmented high-temperature poymers For high-temperature poymers such as, PEK, PEI, PPS and PPSU, we are speciaists in ready-to-use pigmented compounds. We have specia know-how in this fied and are abe to offer a arge and unusua range of coours as a resut. This enabes the risky procedure of pigmentation using coour masterbatches to be eiminated. In addition, the materias may obtain additiona functionaities, such as aser-markabiity, and can aso be fibre-reinforced.

9 OUR MARKETS OUR MARKETS Materias soutions for the food industry Materias soutions for medica technoogy There are many appications for pastics in the food processing industry. They invove objects for singe and mutipe use, such as transport containers, toos, scrapers, conveyor bets, casings and machine eements. The requirements on such parts are rising continuousy. The cause for this is intensified heath and safety reguations couped with increasing technica requirements on components. In this area, we offer a variety of soutions and are working continuousy on the deveopment of new taior-made materias for this market. One exampe is carbon-fibre compounds compiant with Commission Reguation (EU) No. 10/2011 (pastic materias and artices intended to come into contact with food). This means that materias are avaiabe for appications in the food sector with a high mechanica strength and antistatic properties and in different coours as we. Another exampe is detectabe compounds. Their use enabes even smaer partices or fragments to be readiy ocated using meta or X-ray detectors. Spatua made of LUVOCOM, antistatic, carbon-fibre reinforced Knife hande made of detectabe LUVOCOM Conveyor bucket for food production made of detectabe LUVOCOM Devices, instruments and systems in medica technoogy are increasingy making use of innovative compounds. Most of them are based on amorphous and partiay crystaine pastics with resistance to high temperature and chemicas, such as, PPS, PPSU and PEI. Our compounds based on these poymers meet the specia requirements reating to biocompatibiity, steriizabiity by different procedures, good resistance to media and radiation, transparency to X-rays and NMR as we as good mechanica properties at high temperatures. We offer made-to-measure soutions for medica technoogy. This means that it is not ony possibe to adjust the mechanica properties, coour and aser marking quaities to meet specific cient requirements but aso parameters such as the fow characteristics. As a resut, it becomes possibe to impement innovative and sophisticated designs and shapes. One approach is to provide substitute materias for metas primariy for reasons of design, function, weight and cost. The miniaturization of parts and components aso pays a major roe because it can generay ony be achieved with specia compounds. Support in authorization procedures Devices and parts that come into contact with skin, tissue or body fuids are subject to specia provisions. We support you during authorization. Individua materia tests are possibe, such as in compiance with EN ISO (cytotoxicity assessment). We aso offer this on an individua batch basis.

The megatrend towards ightweight construction with composites and carbon-fibre reinforced pastics aows tremendous savings to be made in weight and hence in fue consumption. LUVOCOM XCF compounds are outstandingy suited for parts with high mechanica requirements. Compared with composites and metas, they thus achieve significant savings on costs and weight. LUVOCOM XCF compounds are even abe to achieve an additiona saving in weight of up to 30% over pastics with short and ong gass-fibre reinforcement. Lower fier eves mean better processing characteristics and hence greater freedom in design. LUVOCOM XCF compounds can be processed in conventiona injection mouding procedures without the need for specia machines or techniques. Materias soutions for the consumer goods industry In both professiona and amateur sport, high-performance compounds are important for producing efficient equipment.
