Lehmann&Voss&Co. industrial heritage and polymer compounding evolution

Established in 1894 in Hamburg by Hellmuth Lehmann and Christian Voss, Lehmann&Voss&Co. expanded from a chemical trading house into the international LEHVOSS Group.

The corporation specializes in high-performance chemical specialties, customized polymer compounds, and industrial filtration systems engineered for rigorous machinery, automotive, and electronics manufacturing duties.

Beginning in 1983, the company launched dedicated internal production of structural thermoplastic compounds marketed globally under the LUVOCOM brand, pioneering the modification of engineering resins with carbon fibers, functional mineral fillers, and solid lubricants.

Today, technical production hubs across Germany, the United States, and China produce tailored formulations.

High-temperature LUVOCOM thermoplastics replacing heavy metallic components

High-temperature structural thermoplastic formulations in the LUVOCOM portfolio are built upon polyetheretherketone PEEK, polyphenylene sulfide PPS, polyetherimide PEI, and specialized polyamides.

These advanced polymers are engineered to maintain mechanical rigidity and creep resistance at sustained operating temperatures reaching 320 deg C alongside continuous contact with aggressive chemical fluids.

LUVOCOM materials demonstrate superior tensile modulus, tight dimensional tolerance under thermal cycling, and outstanding resistance to hydrolysis, acids, alkalis, and automotive fuels.

Utilizing these high-performance compounds enables mechanical design teams to trim overall component weight by forty to sixty percent relative to bronze, titanium, or aluminum alloys without reducing mechanical integrity.

Tribologically modified compounds and carbon fiber structural reinforcement

To eliminate frictional heating and prevent sliding wear across dynamic mechanisms, Lehmann&Voss&Co. engineers developed tribologically modified LUVOCOM compounds.

Solid lubricant microparticles including PTFE fluoropolymer, flake graphite, and molybdenum disulfide are compounded into the matrix, establishing an internal self-lubricating boundary layer across moving mating interfaces.

Combining internal solid lubricants with high modulus carbon fiber reinforcement eliminates surface galling, scoring, and adhesive wear across plain journal bushings, thrust washers, guide shoes, and drive gear teeth.

The mechanisms operate smoothly in dry running conditions without external grease lubrication, which is essential throughout food processing lines and cleanroom conveyor units.

LUVOCOM 3F and LUVOSINT polymer materials for industrial additive printing

The additive manufacturing portfolio encompasses LUVOCOM 3F and LUVOSINT engineered pellets, calibrated filaments, and micro-powders optimized for industrial 3D printing using FFF, FGF, and selective laser sintering SLS.

Unlike standard commodity printing polymers, these materials are formulated specifically to deliver superior interlayer fusion and uniform mechanical isotropy across all build axes.

Filaments and pellets based on carbon reinforced PEEK, PEI, and polyamides enable warp-free printing of functional prototypes, small production batches, and complex assembly jigs with intricate internal geometry.

LUVOSINT powders provide fluid powder flow within sintering beds and dependable melting density, producing smooth, defect-free parts capable of handling rigorous shopfloor mechanical loads.

LUVATOL reactive magnesium thickening pastes for SMC and BMC composite molding

The Composite Materials business unit manufactures LUVATOL reactive thickening pastes formulated with high-purity magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide.

These chemical pastes are employed by composite molders for controlled chemical maturation of unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins during the compounding of Sheet Moulding Compounds SMC and Bulk Moulding Compounds BMC.

The standard range features up to twenty formulations with calibrated chemical reactivity curves.

LUVATOL pastes guarantee uniform viscosity maturation across resin formulations, eliminating phase segregation of heavy mineral fillers and glass fibers while supporting complete mould cavity filling during the compression molding of large automotive body components and electrical enclosures.
