collaboration with Movacolor to provide a ready-to-use liquid dosing system for plastics processing operations. The company’s FibaPlast, FibaKeft and FibaComp
masterbatches allow processors to incorporate a range of special effects, including metallic, pearlescent, rainbow and flip-flop. The company says the additives can be combined to provide lacquered and soft-touch finishes, as well as fragranced formulations. Fibasol liquid colorants are comprised of a pigment in a liquid binding agent. They are temperature resistant and non-fading and can be used with a wide range of polymers, including PET, PP and PE. ❙

Hexpol TPE will launch a range of new TPEs formulated to deliver enhanced haptics and touch properties. Dryflex Touch TPEs are designed to give a superior silky feel and soft-touch sensation and are targeted at applications such as wearable devices, consumer electronics, smartphone and tablet protective cases, wrist straps, grips, cosmetics and packaging. Dryflex Touch TPEs are available in a range of
hardnesses from 30 to 90 shore A and are easy to colour. Key features include a smooth and velvety feel that is non-sticky and easy to clean. The materials also offer good scratch and abrasion resistance, which helps to enhance the durability, appearance and aesthetics of the final application. The TPEs are compliant with food contact regulations and representative Dryflex Touch grades have been tested in accordance with ISO 10993-10:2010 for irritation and skin sensitisation, where they were shown to have no sensitisation potential and classified as a non-sensitiser. They have also passed in vitro cytotoxicity tests according to ISO 10993-5:2009. Dryflex Touch TPE compounds are well suited to injection moulding and the product line includes grades that can be overmoulded onto substrates such as PP, PE, ABS, PC and TPU for multi-component applications. ❙

2016 preview
Huntsman Pigments & Additives will exhibit its special- ity titanium dioxide pigments, colour pigments and functional additives. The company says the new pigments are designed to improve overall processing, colour and performance capabilities of plastics systems in a range of applications including packaging, construc- tion profiles, automotive components and electronic devices. Exhibiting at K for the first time since it acquired the performance additives and titanium dioxide businesses of Rockwood Holdings, Huntsman says it will use the exhibition to showcase new products that build on its Sachtleben, Altiris and Ferroxide brands. ❙

Imerys will present its latest mineral innovations for automotive plastics lightweighting, plastics recycling, and odour and VOC reduction, as well as additives for production of thermally conductive compounds. HAR 3G is a high aspect ratio talc, designed primarily
for automotive polymer applications. The material is claimed to enhance the performance of TPO and PP compounds where it increases stiffness, maintains good impact resistance and lowers CLTE, allowing designers to achieve zero gap tolerancing. ImerPlast has been developed for boosting recycled polyolefin performance, and is a compatibilised, mixed polymer compound consisting of recycled PE and PP resin and a mineral-
