Experience TAFNEX™: Diverse Use Cases on Display

Featured in the “Sustainable polymer solutions” area, two injection-molded TAFNEX™ samples are on display inside the area’s showcase. One is a section of the front trunk (frunk) of an electric car which is locally reinforced with TAFNEX™ UD Tape. The other is a TAFNEX™ tube overmolded with recycled TAFNEX™ compound, demonstrating both the material’s reusability and the possibility of tube functionalization through robotized injection molding.

After its appearance at DroneX in London, the full TAFNEX™ drone demonstrator is now on display at the K 2025. It can be found inside the highlight cube at the center of the booth.

Beyond the Mitsui Chemicals booth, a drill bit demonstrator made from TAFNEX™ UD Tape —developed as part of the publicly funded WI-IN research initiative — is showcased at the joint booth of the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) at TU Dresden and ANYBRID GmbH (Hall 7, Booth SC07).
