We consider certain Boltzmann type equations on a bounded physical and a bounded velocity space under the presence of both reflective as well as diffusive boundary conditions. We introduce conditions on the shape of the physical space and on the relation between the reflective and the diffusive part in the boundary conditions such that the associated Knudsen type semigroup can be extended to time [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, we provide conditions under which there exists a unique global solution to a Boltzmann type equation for time [Formula: see text] or for time [Formula: see text] for some [Formula: see text] which is independent of the initial value at time 0. Depending on the collision kernel, [Formula: see text] can be arbitrarily small.
