WALDKRAIBURG, Germany - Aug. 28, 2014 - PRLog -- Heroldsberg/Waldkraiburg, August 2014. STABILO and KRAIBURG TPE have been working together for more than a decade on the future of handwriting: the specialist for Thermoplastic Elastomers supplies the international writing utensil manufacturer STABILO International GmbH with THERMOLAST® K, the material that makes pencils and pens pleasant to hold.

Electronic communication is fast, effective and in keeping with the times. And yet – people who write things down often have better ideas, improved recall and a longer memory of what they have written. Prolific writers, students and everyone who knows the value of handwriting appreciate the qualities of a good writing utensil.

The quality is in the combination

STABILO has been manufacturing pens and pencils since 1865. Today the company offers a diverse spectrum of user-friendly and highly functional products for writing, drawing and highlighting. The most recent compositions include the pointball and EASYball ballpoint pens, the worker colorful roller ball pen, the GREEN BOSS and BOSS EXECUTIVE highlighters and the SMARTgraph pencil. STABILO writing utensils feature a non-slip gripping surface that is pleasant to the touch. They are manufactured from Thermoplastic Elastomers of the product group THERMOLAST® K from KRAIBURG TPE. Excellent adhesion to PP and other thermoplasts such as PC/ABS and the fast and easy 2-component injection molding manufacturing process make THERMOLAST® K ideal for STABILO writing utensils. The material can easily be dyed and offers virtually unlimited possibilities in terms of design and functionality. THERMOLAST® K compounds are suitable for all conventional manufacturing processes; in addition to their excellent adhesion they also feature outstanding sealing and non-slip properties. The highly specialized products of KRAIBURG TPE, tailored to suit market demands, are the result of many years of development and experience.

Both manufacturers develop their products with a keen focus on sustainability and environmental consciousness. “Sustainability is gaining in importance with respect to customer requirements and the standards placed on suppliers, as well as the processes within companies. In KRAIBURG TPE we have found a partner that has the same standards of quality,” explains Sigrid Hell, Director of Purchasing at STABILO International GmbH. In addition to internal quality assurance, prevention and improvement measures, KRAIBURG TPE is certified in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and the energy management system ISO 50001.
