Cédric Charton from BALSAN in France visited us to personally participate in the tests at ENTEX Technical Centre I. He, was accompanied by Giuseppe Cuffaro, the French sales representative of ENTEX Rust & Mitschke GmbH. The task was to prepare a special formulation of BALSAN on a size 30 Planetary Roller Extruder. Special attention was paid to the introduction of various additives and the volatilisation of components of the formulation. Previous trials in 2003 confirmed the very good homogenisation and dispersion results.
