show preview | Materials Teknor Apex restructures TPEs


Hall 6/C54-3 Teknor Apex will use the exhibition to announce a restructuring of its TPE products around end-use markets rather than chemistries. The Sarlink brand, for example, will in future be used for all automotive sector products with the family extended beyond TPVs to include styrenic and olefinic blends. Electronic and electrical grades are rebranded Elexar, medical products Medalist and consumer products Monprene. On the engineering plastics front,


Teknor Apex will be highlighting its new Chemlon 104 impact-modified PA 6,6


Chemlon 104


flow along with flexibility and low-temperature impact resistance. The flexural and impact strength


of Chemlon 104 enables components such as fuel line fasteners to withstand the stresses of assembly and end use, while also enduring exposure to cold conditions. Teknor Apex says it can supply identical formulations of Chemlon 104 compound worldwide from its production facilities in Europe, the


compounds for moulding intricate automotive components such as fasteners and cable ducts. This injection moulding grade has been formulated to deliver good


US and Singapore. The material is available in natural, black, or any colour specified by the customer. ❙ www.teknorapex.com


Akro-Plastic shows PA novelties


Hall 6/B42 K D Feddersen group company Akro Plastic will show a number of new products, including reduced density PA blends and improved thermal stability PA compounds. Akromid Lite and XtraLite


PA6 and 6,6 blends are claimed to offer density


reductions of up to 10% depending on grade. The product line includes glass reinforced products up to 40% glass content, with all 30% and 40% grades passing SAE J2044 calcium chloride and zinc chloride tests, according to the company. Akromid XTC is a new heat


stabilised PA intended for use at temperatures of more than 200°C. The C3 GF30 5 XTC grade is said to exhibit just a 9 MPa reduction in strength after 3,000 hours of storage at 210C, while elongation at break declines from 3.7% to 2.6%. ❙ www.akro-plastic.com


Colloids sets demanding Pace


Hall 8a/D01 Masterbatch maker Colloids will show its Pace black masterbatches, E-Tec


compounds and environmen- tally-targeted Sustain lines. Pace masterbatches are based on solvent black


(nigrosine) and/or carbon black and include formulations offering improvements in frictional properties and heat stabilization. The E-Tec range of


antistatic, dissipative and conductive compounds are intended for applications where varying degrees of permanent electrical conductivity are required, while the Sustain products are bio-based and available as masterbatches for PA, PE and PLA. ❙ www.colloids.co.uk


60 INJECTION WORLD | October 2013


Epsan PA offers UV


resistance Hall 6/D15 Epsan Plastic will be showing its high UV resistance PA 6 compounds for automotive applications. The Eplamid UV grades are offered with 30% or 50% glass fibre loadings and are said to provide good surface quality and excellent mechanical properties. Aimed at demanding


exterior components, the compounds have already been approved by a Scandinavian truck maker and specified for a rear view mirror by a French vehicle manufacturer, says the company.


The independent


compounder, which is based in Turkey, says that it will introduce other new PA developments at K. ❙ www.epsan.com.tr
