Summary
Carboflam® is a versatile process that can be used
in many applications. Thanks to the good separating
and insulating effect of the carbon, the different require-
ments of users can be met. The reduction in workplace
concentrations of vapours and mists, which arise when
using oils and emulsions, is of special interest. The
dirtying of revolving and individual section machines is
a special problem in the glass industry. Carboflam® is
also used primarily to improve the quality of the glass.
In the metal-processing industry the focus lies more on
the good separating effect and chemical neutrality of
the carbon vis-à-vis the product and mould.
