Michael Fischer confirmed as Managing Partner, further expansion and long-term succession secured...
Adhesives manufacturer Wakol GmbH is increasing its share in LOBA GmbH & Co. KG, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of surface treatments, and now holds a majority stake in the company. As Wakol has been majority-owned by ARDEX since 2015, LOBA will thus become part of the international ARDEX Group. To facilitate this transaction, four long-standing LOBA shareholders have put their shares up for sale. The overriding goal of this decision is to safeguard the company’s long-term success. Therefore, the new shareholder structure consists of Wakol GmbH and Michael Fischer, who will remain as Managing Partner.
“By linking LOBA with Wakol, we have managed to provide our company with an extremely sustainable perspective and pave the way for my succession early on. The international operations of the ARDEX Group offer excellent opportunities to continue growing and to lead LOBA into a successful future”, says Managing Partner Michael Fischer about the new structure. “I am most delighted that our shareholders unanimously supported this step and that we have been able to win such substantial partners for LOBA”.
Christian Groß, Wakol shareholder and CEO, sees the strengthening and expansion of the existing cooperation as a common goal: “LOBA and Wakol have been working together excellently for over 20 years and we are now able to reinforce this even further. I am convinced that the ARDEX Group offers great opportunities for both companies, whilst at the same time preserving the values and culture of a family business”.
Mark Eslamlooy, CEO of the ARDEX Group, has also expressed his pleasure over the partnership: “The cooperation with LOBA provides us with an optimal constellation to further expand our competence in the field of flooring systems and surface finishings. The LOBA brand enjoys a distinguished reputation and stands for technical competence, premium products and outstanding service. The strong international orientation and the extremely high level of commitment of the people involved have convinced us that LOBA is the ideal partner for us”.
Ditzingen site to be expanded – company will remain independent
LOBA's Ditzingen site will be further expanded as a development and production center for surface finishing within the ARDEX Group. The treatment and finishing of wood and cork currently play a key role for LOBA. Additionally, the company is expanding its activities in finishing resilient floor coverings as well as cementitious surfaces.
The company name, brand and sales structure remain unchanged as well as the contact persons for customers and suppliers. In both companies, the organization and personnel will remain the same. Following a mandatory review by the antitrust authorities, the transaction is expected to be completed at the latest by the end of November 2018.

WAKOL D 3465 Special Adhesive
The presence of chromium (VI) compounds in leather and textiles is still one of the most relevant risks with respect to product safety that processors are confronted with today. The risk potential of these compounds is caused on the one hand by the intensive sensitising and contact allergen effect, and on the other hand in the case of chromium (VI) compounds carcinogenic effects are probable for people upon intake via the respiratory tract. This pronounced risk potential has led to an intensive occupation with the analysis of chromium (VI) and the legislation on the introduction of strict limit values. Since 2010 the German Consumer Goods Ordinance, for instance, has been stipulating that no chromium (VI) must be detectable in leather products with which not only passing physical contact is likely. A value of 3 mg/kg applies here as a detection limit. Since 2015 this limit value was also put into effect at European legislative level. Subsequently numerous retailers also included restrictions in their suppliers terms and conditions, some with even lower limits.
Although the topic has somewhat disappeared in recent years after intermittent intensive reporting also in the mass media, it still leads to recalls in the footwear industry as a result of non-marketable products that do not comply with the applicable limit values.
A key problem in the risk management of the topic is that with the exclusion of the chromium (VI) content an exit control does not represent adequate prevention for the safety of the finished products for the tanner. This is due to the fact that measurable and thus potentially alarming amounts of chromium (VI) may form during storage and further processing due to oxidative processes and the chromium (III) content from the tanning process. This chemical conversion is supported by a range of influencing factors.
This chemical conversion is inhibited by the following influencing factors:
Precise pH value control is therefore required. The negative influence of ammonia is particularly pronounced. Its use should therefore be avoided.
The last point in particular is perfectly understandable from a chemical perspective as the formation balance is moving more and more towards chromium (VI) in the alkaline range. As a result, adhesives were targeted during the examination of influencing factors as with classic natural latex adhesives there is a high pH value and significant amounts of ammonia. Studies by the Pirmasens-based PFI in 2011 within the framework of an IGF research project actually suggested a negative, albeit small, influence of the adhesives [IGF research project no. 15845 N (2011)]. Wakol addressed the issue with current development work and developed the alkali- and ammonia-free adhesive WAKOL D 3465 Special Adhesive. Owing to the near neutral pH value of approx. 7.5 a significant reduction of the risk of adhesive-related formation of chromium (VI) can be expected. In this way with the use of a neutral adhesive the processor can avoid additional risks in the processing chain in situations where the tannery does not comply with "Best Practice" with regard to chromium (VI) prevention.

Innovative bonding of shafts
Wakol offers a new sprayable shoe adhesive with high initial strength and excellent processing properties. WAKOL D 3465 Special Adhesive is suitable for the manufacture of shoe shafts and insoles by hiding all common leather, cushioning and lining materials.
The use of this alkali- and ammonia-free raw material with very low allergenic potential reduces the skin-irritating effect of the adhesive significantly or substantially. Contamination of the adhesive during processing is impossible with the application in the closed container. Only a 10 kg container is connected directly to the spray gun which avoids the former refilling into a pressurised container. Mould formation in pressurised containers is therefore impossible.
The absence of odours (no ammonia) during processing is particularly beneficial. A high initial strength is already achieved with little pressure. In order to control the spray application of the undyed adhesive also on bright lining materials, a UV indicator is added which enables visualisation under black light. Typical spray devices can be used without any problems. Only the selected spray pressure must be readjusted or reduced to 1-2 bar. It is possible to clean the application devices with water. Work benches can also be easily cleaned with little effort. Very high heat resistance allows other work processes such as heatsetter, blow-drying and steaming without any problems. Hydrolysis tests (70°, 7d , 100% RF) permit use in the area of heavy and sports footwear.

On the upcoming interzum 2017 in Cologne, Wakol presents adhesive systems for manufacturing upholstery and mattresses.
Visit Wakol at interzum from 16. - 19. Mai in Hall 10.1, Aisle A, Stand 058 and convince yourself of the TOP Products INTERCOLL D 3447 and INTERCOLL D 3386 .
INTERCOLL D 3447 Roller Adhesive – is a diverse mattress adhesive for the manufacture of all types of mattresses. The water-based 1-C CR-Latex Roller adhesive is solvent-free and characterized by its superb tension stability when wet. The easy assembly and the process reliability are featured by the quick force build-up and the excellent instant tack.
INTERCOLL D 3386 – has been developed for roller and spray application. The very fast drying of the adhesive makes a directly packaging of the mattress possible. It can be used as one-side or contact adhesive for all common mattresses and upholstery materials.
During interzum 2017 Wakol presents live two spray applications:
The 2-C CR-Latex Dispersion Adhesive INTERCOLL D 3453 is used in combination with INTERCOLL D 3437 Aktivator by spray-mix-application. It shows high initial strength for bonding foam materials in a short time.
INTERCOLL D 3460 is a 1-C CR-Latex Dispersion Adhesive can be used at a low spraying pressure, thus reducing the overspray and optimising consumption. The product can be applied using the "free-flow" method. In comparison to the mixed two-component adhesive, INTERCOLL D 3460 contains more solid material and therefore has a lower water content. This adds a drying benefit.

WAKOL Sealing Compounds – expanded product range
Wakol presents at Metpack two new additions to its extensive Sealing Compound range.
- WAKOL D 3756 Sealing Compound for Beverage cans
- WAKOL PU 4320 / 4315 Sealing Compound for Food pails and drums.

WAKOL D 3756 Sealing Compound is a water-based sealing compound based on SBR for beverage application and is suitable for the filling of mineral water, carbonated soft drink, beer as well as dairy products. It shows a very good performance using high throughput application machinery (up to 1500 epm / rotational multi-head liner) applying to small diameters.
It is formulated to achieve virtually no taste or odour influences on filling goods. Therefore WAKOL D 3756 Sealing Compound is suitable for taste-sensitive filling goods like e.g. mineral water.
It complies with latest regulatory requirements, according to European and FDA food contact regulations. TNO and Nehring certificates are available
It shows excellent performance on high-speed rotational multi liners due to low drying tendency on nozzles. Reject rates are exceptionally low. An excellent shear stability provides optimum performance through central supply systems.
WAKOL PU 4320 / 4315 Sealing Compound for Food pails and drums
WAKOL PU 4320 / 4315 Sealing Compound is a two-component, self-blowing polyurethane foam. It was especially developed to form gaskets for pails and drum covers with ring ladge application. For the product, full compliance for food contact according to European Food Contact law has been achieved.
As the foam shows a very good resistance against water, fats, oils and aliphatic solvents it can also be used for the sealing of packaging of aqueous-based products for technical applications, glycols, oils, aliphatic solvents and solid filling materials.
The reaction leads to an elastic and fine-porous gasket with a smooth surface. 2-C-Polyurethane technology offers several advantages: no oven needed, high form stability of the gasket, plasticizer free, low migration, PVC free.
The Wakol exhibition team is looking forward to inform you about the full product range and will be available for further details. Visit Wakol in Hall 3.0 Stand 3A34.

However, we shall refrain from doing so as long as the purchaser meets the purchaser’s payment obligations toward us, is not in delay of payment, payment has not ceased and no request for institution of insolvency proceedings against the purchaser’s assets has been submitted.
7.7 We shall be obliged to release the collateral to which we are entitled insofar as the value of our collateral exceeds the securable claims by more than 10%.
7.8 The purchaser shall immediately notify us in the event of a pledge or any other impairment of the item subject to retention of title through third parties. The purchaser shall immediately inform the enforcement body and the judgment creditor about the fact that the item subject to retention of title is our property/joint property and/or that the rights to such have been assigned.
8. Notice of Defects, Claims Based on Defects, Period of Limitation for Claims Based on Defects
8.1 The purchaser shall be obliged to immediately examine the products in the normal course of business after delivery and to immediately report any defects discovered in writing while indicating the reasons for complaint. Complaints with regard to weight must take place in the same form within three days after delivery.
8.2 In the case of a justified notice of defects we shall provide subsequent performance in accordance with statutory provisions. Insofar as we fail to do so within a reasonable period of grace prescribed to us or if subsequent performance has failed, then the purchaser shall have the right to require reduction of the remuneration or to withdraw from the contract in the case of a breach of duty that is more than insignificant. The purchaser shall not be entitled to withdrawal but only entitled to reduction of the remuneration if the products have already been processed and are capable of being used by the purchaser as contractually stipulated.
8.3 We shall not be liable for damage incurred by the purchaser due to the fact that the purchaser employs a product for purposes which cannot be anticipated or which are not agreed. We shall also not be liable if the purchaser fails to observe technical specifications or setup recommendations which we provide for the employment of our products and damage occurs as a result.
8.4 We shall assume no responsibility if formulations prescribed to us by the purchaser result in defects or an impairment or a change in the properties of manufactured products expected by the purchaser which we are unable to determine within the scope of the production process or based on any other knowledge.
8.5 The purchaser’s claims to payment of damages due to defects shall be based on Clause 9.
8.6 The purchaser’s statutory rights of recourse in accordance with Sections 478 and 479 of the German Civil Code [BGB] due to defects in the case of sales of consumer goods and their period of limitation shall remain unaffected.
8.7 The period of limitation for claims based on defects shall amount to 12 months as of delivery. The statutory period of limitation shall apply in accordance with Section 438 Paragraph 1 No. 2 of the German Civil Code [BGB] in the event that we deliver defective products to the purchaser that lead to the defectiveness of a building. The period of limitation provided for by law shall likewise apply to claims of the purchaser due to injury to life, limb or health, violation of the German Product Liability Act, intentional breach of duty on our part or fraudulent concealment of a defect.
9. Other Liability
Any claims for damages on the part of the purchaser or claims to reimbursement of expenses asserted against us for any legal reasons whatsoever shall be excluded unless mandatory liability or a claim for the following reasons is involved: We shall be liable in accordance with statutory provisions in cases of non-contractual liability in accordance with the German Product Liability Act, in the case of intent, gross negligence, disregard of warranted characteristics and in the case of personal injuries. In the case of violation of material contractual obligations the purchaser’s claim for compensation shall be limited to typical, foreseeable damage. Statutory provisions shall apply insofar as we cause such in a deliberate or grossly negligent manner or personal injury occurs as a result.
10. Place of Performance, Place of Jurisdiction, Applicable Law
10.1 The place of performance for deliveries and services and the place of performance for payments shall be our registered place of business in Pirmasens.
10.2 The place of jurisdiction shall be the competent court for our registered place of business. At our option we may also bring action against the purchaser at the purchaser’s registered place of business.
10.3 The law prevailing in the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) from April 11, 1980 shall be excluded.
