2016 preview | Polymers and additives B2 s1 d0 in DIN EN 50399 (CPR) testing. This latest addition to the Melos range of compounds
for the cable industry is also said to be easy to process, offering a broader processing window and the ability to be run at up to 230°C. It does not require crosslinking. ❙

components and housings for the electronic industry. Disflamoll 51092 is a halogen-free phosphate ester
that combines plasticising and flame retardant properties, has a low odour and can be used in plastics such as plasticised PVC, flexible PU foams, TPU, PC/ ABS blends and NBR/PVC blends. Applications include coated textile fibres, tarpaulins, cables, E&E housings, furniture, automotive interiors and insulated hoses. Rhein Chemie will also show its organic Macrolex
Gran colourants for amorphous and semi-crystalline plastics. Macrolex microgranules consist of hollow spheres that can be easily crushed, which means they can be quickly, evenly and completely distributed and incorporated into the plastic. The company says the colourants compare favourably with powders and compact granules, offering good dispersion and
processing and safe handling. The four times higher bulk density compared with powder also benefits processing, transport and storage, says the company. Also new for K2016 is Stabaxol P 110, a line of

low-emission polymeric carbodiimides based on alternative raw materials for use as anti-hydrolysis agents. The company says the new line provides improvements in stabilisation performance, toxicology, emissions and handling. The additive can be used in PET, PBT and thermoplastic elastomers, as well as in PLA where it can lead to a significant extension of part service life in moist and warm operating conditions. ❙

Melos will introduce its Mecoline S TP 1034F thermoplastic flame retardant compound for cable sheathing applications. The new grade uses magnesium dihydroxide technology and is said to provide high flexibility even at low temperatures, good resistance to oils and fuels, and very good flame behaviour – it has achieved a flame spread rating of

make high clarity PP, allowing for material replacement in a wide range of processes. It will also highlight the additional advantages of being able to lower processing temperatures and to realise faster injection moulding. The company says that it will also showcase examples
of how to achieve faster production and improved end-product performance through the use of its Hyper- form HPN nucleators. Milliken says that both Millad NX 8000 and Hyperform HPN perform effectively in high melt flow PP grades, responding to the increasing industry demands for PP grades for faster production. Milliken will also present its range of additives for PET, PE and PU. These include new solutions for evolving electrostatic discharge standards, reactive colourants, antioxidant and antimicrobial additives, UV absorbers for PET, and nucleators to enhance the performance and processing of PE films, injection moulded parts and extruded applications. ❙

Modern Dispersions will introduce blue-tone carbon black masterbatches for use in automotive interior applications. The company says that the three new blue-tone carbon black masterbatches are targeted at door panels, instrument panels and other interior applications. According to the company, automotive applications require strong dispersion of pigments into interior surfaces to match the overall colour scheme. Carbon black is used in automotive interiors not only as
