Title: Klaus Bruning: Innovator in Abrasive Technology
Introduction
Klaus Bruning is a notable inventor based in Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of abrasive technology, holding a total of 7 patents. His work focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of abrasive materials used in various applications.
Latest Patents
One of Klaus Bruning's latest patents is for a ceramic-coated corundum abrasive grain. This innovation involves corundum abrasive grain that is ceramically coated with ground frit, a binder, and fine grain highly abrasive material. The purpose of this invention is to enhance the adhesion of the abrasive grain during processing with resin-bonded abrasives, particularly in wet grinding applications. The fine grain material constitutes 1 to 5 weight percent of the untreated corundum grain and ranges in size from 10 to 50 microns, which corresponds to 1 to 10 percent of the average diameter of the initial grain.
Another significant patent by Bruning is for partially crystalline copolyesters useful as adhesives. This invention describes a linear saturated crystalline polyester composed of an acid moiety and a moiety of a dihydric alcohol. Notably, at least 40% of the acid moiety is a terephthalic acid moiety. The polyester contains moieties of 1,4-butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol, with the ratio of these moieties being between 10:90 to 90:10. This polyester is particularly useful as a fusion coating mass, especially in securing textile substances to a substrate.
