The Release Agent Specialist Münch Chemie

Article Reader

Nowadays, tyres are high-tech products. The highest level of quality is demanded by commercial and private buyers in the same way that it is from testing institutes and state regulatory bodies. At the same time, tyre manufacturers and the entire supply chain are in competition with each other at a worldwide level, whereby only those prevail who are able to offer innovative products of the utmost quality at a competitive price.

Good machinery and raw materials are no longer sufficient to achieve this. The entire production process must run efficiently and cannot permit any quality compromises to be made anywhere: Process aids and indirect materials must be maintained without having any impact on the product.

Therefore, release agents and coatings are increasing in importance as crucial auxiliary materials for the tyre industry. This is because these technical materials, which are invisible on the end product, are a decisive factor for highly efficient production with perfect results.

Release agent specialist with tradition

Since its founding in 1948, Münch Chemie International GmbH with its headquarters in Weinheim, Germany has specialised in release agents and process aid solutions for various branches of industry, particularly for the tyre industry – and it is significantly driving on development in this field. To this end, in 1996, Münch Chemie was the first company worldwide to develop semi-permanent water-based release agents and solvent-based bladder coatings for the tyre industry as well as technical components made of rubber.

Chasing gold

Worldwide, tyre companies are racing to adapt themselves to the disruptions in the automotive industry by accelerating innovations. A major effort is to find a suitable substitute for natural rubber from Hevea brasiliensis grown mostly in Southeast Asia plantations. It is found that rubber-yielding Russian dandelion, a summer weed, is found to be a suitable replacement for NR from Hevea. The research on commercialising NR from this ‘weed’ is being spearheaded by Dr Katrina Cornish and her group at Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural & Environmental Sciences. Her research, which has the potential to revolutionise the rubber and tyre industry, aims to develop industrial rubber crop, which matures much quicker than rubber trees that take as much as seven years to give yield

Brand Sherlock Holmes

Global brand consultant and author Martin Lindstrom startled big company CEOs obsessed with big data when he urged them not to ignore the small details as the key for successful brand building could be discovered there. His conviction that small data is rich data drives him, with permission of course, to look inside the refrigerators or nosing in cupboards in households as he dwells into the minds of consumers who make purchase decisions. He does this as a forensic investigator of small data looking for emotional DNA of the consumer in order to gain insights into the mind and spirit of the consumer. It’s not surprising that CEOs and corporate leaders describe him as ‘Sherlock Holmes of brand consultants’
