    Benecke-Kaliko A.G. has established the “Enhance and F.O.C.U.S.” program to offer customers the extra benefit of optimized product and service solutions.

    F.O.C.U.S. stands for Feature Optimized Customer Unique Solutions, which refers to specific solutions that offer customers the greatest possible additional benefit that will enable them to best meet the desires and needs of the respective targeted car buyer market segment, the company said.

    Benecke-Kaliko said the additional functions offer an opportunity to stand out from their competitors, strengthen their appeal as suppliers and increase customer satisfaction. Visual branding keeps optimization in the forefront of product selection, it said, and concisely communicates the enhanced value of the respective solutions.

    Benecke-Kaliko said the enhancements will help original equipment manufacturers meet particular national regulations and ensures exemplary compliance by vehicle manufacturers with their social responsibility.

    Both the product enhancements and the F.O.C.U.S. portfolio help in increasing efficiency and effectiveness in the production processes of the tier 1 suppliers and OEMs, Benecke-Kaliko said. The protect enhancement, for instance, offers high-scratch resistance and enables wastage as a result of damage during the handling, processing or fitting of the material to the component to be reduced.

    APS Elastomers' Zythane thermoplastic polyurethanes.

    APS Elastomers has unveiled its Zythane thermoplastic polyurethanes, which are specifically suited for 3-D Printers.

    APS said this latest technology in 3-D printing allows pellets to be placed directly into the printer, replacing costlier filament spools. The Zythane TPUs offer durability, toughness, chemical resistance, flexibility and processing ease, APS said, which makes it the ideal material for 3-D printing for a wide range of applications.

    Innovations in 3-D printing allow designers to create prototypes and molds, affording greater freedom in design and fabrication.
