DayGlo Corporation will exhibit is GloPrill GPF series of fluorescent colorants, which it claims are the first to carry FDA approval for use in PP and HDPE direct food contact applications at loadings up to 1%. GPF colorants are formaldehyde-free and can be supplied as dust-free pellets or in powder form. According to the company, the colorants can be loaded into masterbatches at up to three times the level of competitive products. Process- ing times are also said to be shorter. ❙

Emery Oleochemicals will mark the 60th anniversary of
its Loxiol product line at Chinaplas, with the key focus of its display on its new green polymer additive portfolio for C-PVC applications. The new Loxiol products are claimed to offer a high dropping point, improved thermal stability, better plate-out characteristics and better rheological performance. The company says the additives carry food contact approval, making them a good option for residential water pipes. The company’s GPA business unit will also present
the latest additions to its Emerox and Edenol additive lines, which are aimed at applications in building and construction, automotive, packaging, toys and sporting equipment, and electronics. ❙

Lehmann&Voss will display its Luvocom EOG family of PEEK compounds designed for applications in the oil & gas and energy industries. When compared to tradi- tional PEEK compounds in energy applications, Luvocom EOG materials are said to offer easier processing, up to 50% shorter annealing times, and reduced wear. Additional benefits include reduced internal stress and warpage – the company claims an up to 150% better shrinkage ratio. This means the new compounds are much less sensitive to moulding flow direction on mechanical properties. Applications

formulated to control the degree of light transmitted through plastic components such as LED lenses. They can increase light diffusion quality and output when compared to traditional LED lens materials while meeting UV resistance and flammability rating require- ments. RTP’s Light Controlling Compounds are used in the automotive, consumer, appliance, and healthcare markets.
RTP 100 XP (eXtra Performance) compounds are among the latest additions to the company’s structural product portfolio. The materials are formulated to deliver higher strength, modulus and impact properties than standard glass reinforced compounds, displaying up to 20% higher modulus and more than 50% better impact results compared to standard glass fibre reinforced PPs. 100 XP grades are said to be easy to injection mould, making them a good choice for lightweighting applications in the automotive industry. ❙

Shanghai Weiyi Industry will exhibit its Cuomei line of ultra-fine barium sulphates, which are said to offer high density, narrow particle size distribution and a mini- mum barium sulphate content of 98%. According to the company, Cuomei is characterised by high brightness, absence of black spots, low impurities, good dispersion, and high wettability. When incorporated into plastic compounds it can improve hardness, wear resistance and dimensional stability. The additive also acts as a pigment stabiliser. ❙

Star-Better (Shanghai) Chemical will present its ST-4182M2 impact modifier for PA resins. ST-4182M2 is a POE grafted maleic anhydride produced using what the company describes as a novel pre-dispersion technology. It can be used to toughen PA66 and PA6 and is said to achieve very good impact strength at both room and low temperature conditions. The company
cites a Charpy impact strength (notched) at -40℃ for PA6 of 46 kJ/m2 with 20% ST-4182M2. It also says the additive offers better performance in reinforced, flame
