Patent for the WEICONLOCK Pen-System
Extension of the headquarters at Königsberger Straße in Münster
Pen-System
The WEICON Pen System is our patented packaging for 1-component adhesives. The pen is shaped like a writing utensil and thus has an ideal ergonomic shape. This guarantees the simple and user-friendly dosage of the adhesives and clean processing.
Alu Grinding Protection
WEICON Alu Grinding Protection works like a cooling lubricant and separating agent during the grinding process. It lowers the temperature at the contact point and forms a silicone-free anti-adhesive layer on the abrasive material. The tool life of an abrasive disc when machining aluminium is usually only approximately 30 minutes in normal operation. Using WEICON Alu Grinding Protection, the tool life can be increased by up to 350%.
