Songwon will be promoting its portfolio of polymer stabilisers and one-pack solutions (OPS), including the recently introduced SonXtend 2124 stabiliser for glass fibre reinforced PP grades for automotive applications. SongXtend 2124 is claimed to improve the long term
thermal stability of both short and long glass fibre reinforced PP compounds used in interior injection moulded applications, meeting long term thermal stability requirements of 1,000h at 150°C. The company says the new stabiliser is particularly useful where parts are being thinned out for weight reduction purposes. According to Thomas Schmutz, Leader Global Technical Service & Application Development at
Songwon, the new addition means the company now has a full range of stabilisers for un-filled, talc and glass-filled PP.
On the OPS side of the business, the company will be emphasising the investments it has made to increase its global production capacity. These include the start-up of its 7,000 tonne/year joint venture plant at Kizad in Abu Dhabi and the near completion of a second joint venture at Qingdao in China. The new plants bolster the company’s existing OPS capacities at Ulsan in Korea, Greiz in Germany and Houston in the US. ❙
