Materials in the K 2001

In 1999 the company has invested 4 EC Awards Meuros in new stores and a new line of compounding, carrying capacity to the 18,000 annual T, with 6 double screw extrusion lines. It has already also an extruder of double spindle of laboratory and analysis equipment.

Its compounds are mainly directed to the automotive, electrical, electrical appliances and containers for cosmetics. Some recent innovations include a PP reinforced with five years of stability to UV or compounds of PP of special effects.

Santoprene TPV 8000 which comply with European standards, has been developed for the Windows market very high profile extruded in what refers to the ability of sealed, aging and behavior in the open.

On the other hand, the POS B100 series is the first linking ABS, PC, blends of ABS/PC, PS, PMMA, ASA and PET, allowing the use of durable anointings without adhesives twin-screw and inyectadores.

Among the innovations presented at the fair was Borpact, a polypropylene that combines transparency with high impact resistance, filling the gap between the heterofásicos of high-impact copolymers and the transparent randoms. He also announced the launch of new grades of LLDPE Borstar for films to freezer bags, as well as movies subjected to low temperatures.

Stamylan P 83EK10 provides excellent resistance to impact, even at low temperatures, so it is ideal for applications in which security is of great importance.

Stamylan P PHC26 brings improvements in the impact resistance and surface quality and is suitable for cartons and containers, as well as the container and packaging of pp.

Stamylan P 66 M 60 is a new development with opaque base color, specially developed for all kinds of applications of batteries. Improves the fluidity of previous degrees and its resistance to impact, increasing their chances in the field of the covers for batteries.

Stamylan P 612MK10 reduces considerably the cycles and the thickness of the walls in packaging, thanks to the remarkable improvements in their fluency. Improve the costs in the process of injection without negatively affecting other factors.

This company has also expanded its range of PP homopolymer, among others with the P Stamylan 14E10FB for BOPP film.

This joint venture of Bayer and Röhm created in June 2000, wants to become the leader in the field of polycarbonate and polyester plates. Forecasts of growth for massive plates are of 6-8 per cent per annum and the boards of several walls, 10%. Polyester plates could grow even more, between 15 and 20 per cent, although we must bear in mind that part below that the polycarbonate.

From the point of view of the innovations include two new plates: mono Makrolon longlife clear 2099 P and Makrolon mono longlife clear 2099 GX. They are two plaques structured with a blade that is special on both sides to protects against weathering and UV rays. They are intended for exterior applications and are available in widths of 1,650 mm. Typical applications are roofs of all types, greenhouses, winter gardens and bus stops, for example.

The wide range of catalysts for CAT PC and the PC STAB stabilizers for rigid and flexible polyurethane foams was also presented.

The presence in the Hall K2001 focused on these divisions and to show how PolyOne Corporation "helps people to do wonders with polymers". The capacity of PolyOne combine the products, services and skills of its staff to provide customers with successful applications was exhibited. Among the new products that were featured on the stand the complete range of elastomers is thermoplastic of PolyOne, masterbatches for use in rich final mixes for PET bottles, applications that use compounds PS color sindiotácticos EDGETEK sPS and a new range of additives concentrates. PolyOne has announced the launch of a new type of color (masterbatch) concentrate on Europe. So far, concentrates color (or masterbatches) were scattering the pigment a polymer and turning it into granules 2 to 3 mm in diameter. For high volume applications, such as PET bottles, these granules offer an excellent and effective alternative to the expensive precoloreados compounds. Responsibility is a micropearls system that presents several advantages with respect to the traditional granules and liquid masterbatches. Due to the size of the pearls, offers a very high dispersion in PET blow-molded, which translates into a colored very uniform even for clear dyes. You can also use with lowered ends of less than 0.5%. In addition, it is a much easier to handle than liquid masterbatches product, and the equipment used in its transformation requires a minimum cleaning. On the other hand, one of the latest results of the programmes of development of materials that has launched So.F.TER., partner of the Italian joint venture of Polyone, it has been the introduction of a range of compounds without PVC synthetic leather applications. The latest developments are Forprene 6LH TPE-V (elastomer thermoplastic Vulcanized) and Bergaflex 83 LH (elastomer based on SEBS thermoplastic.)

in 2001, with sales of 1,600 T, representing an increase of 21% over the same period of the previous year. More than 150 new applications were released last year. This situation produced a mild problem of supply, reason for which the company has decided to expand its capacity up to the annual 2,300 tons, in 2003 will be to 2,800. Also stresses the commitment made by Victrex with the field of medicine, establishing the Invibio Ltd company, to provide solutions with biomaterials for implants.

From the point of view of applications, cannot be the example of the tiny connectors in which this PPEK is being used by the French Radiall SA. It's connectors between two printed circuits, of only 3 mm in height, which can be used in many sectors, such as mobile phones and laptop computers.

Tinstab is a family of organotin stabilizers, mercaptidas and carboxilatos optimized for the transformation of PVC, both flexible and rigid. The formulator may choose within the group grades tailored exactly to the requirements of the application, such as thermal stability, retention of color and transparency, as well as grades approved for use in materials in contact with food. Can be used in injection, extrusion, moulding by blowing and calandrado. Their low addition rates, compared with other stabilizers, make them economically competitive. The Vulcabond products are direct Union agents which improve the adherence of the PVC plastisoles polyester, nylon and other synthetic fibers. Recently joined the Vulcabond KB range a product with a resistance of Union improved to a level of similar addition.

Intercide products offer the plastic protection against the effects of the microbial attack. They are based on several active ingredients, formulated on a range of material carriers and with different physical forms to respond to the wide variety of needs for conversion and end-use benefits. They are widely used in flexible PVC, which often is subject to microbial attack that the plasticizers ingredients in the formula work as food when combined with wet environments in some final applications. Recently, the company has expanded the range to include biocidal products for other plastics. Intercide DP8438F is a solid product in the form granular, intended for use with polyolefins and provide antimicrobial properties to the surface of the plastic.

Trias automotive and metals, as well as open canvas and pipes.
