Do you know LUWITAN?

LUWITAN is a product name that numerous LUTZE customers have already adopted in their established use of language at work. Again and again customers ask: "What does LUWITAN actually mean?" 

LUWITAN is the LUTZE product name for polyurethane systems that are used for moldings and wear protective coatings. It was first developed by Heinz Lutze senior in 1965 in the wake of a  request by a large conveyor belt customer for roll coatings of polyurethane (PU) when he, together with the engineer M. Winkler, sought a way to manufacture them himself. Soon a successful system was developed to which the two developers lent their names: "LU" as shorthand for Lutze, "WI" for Winkler. Finally, "TAN" was added based on the final syllable of "polyurethane".   LUWITAN stands for individual PU solutions to a range of different chemical bases. The registered brand name gives LUTZE the freedom to select its own formulae for modular polyurethane materials and optimally match these to the respective application without having to depend on raw material suppliers.
