ExxonMobil Chemical will use Chinaplas to highlight its commitment to the Asian market and promote its wide range of products. The company is currently construct- ing a plant in Singapore that will be its largest integrat- ed petrochemical complex in the world. In addition, its joint venture in Fujian, China, has now been operational for more than two years. ExxonMobil also operates its Shanghai Technology Center to support the growth of customers in China and the Asia Pacific region. The company will be showcasing a wide range of

Cray Valley will be showing its new SMA 9000 series masterbatches that are optimized to improve polyamide performance. The new masterbatches are said to be ideal for extruding and compounding applications and can improve the melt strength of post-consumer, post- industrial and virgin polyamides. In addition to chain extension, they serve as compatibilizers for blends, or dispersants for contaminants, improving the mechani- cal performance of the end product. SMA 9001 was developed to modify virgin and “clean”
recycled polyamide streams and impart melt strength or compatibility in polymer blend formulations. SMA 9002 effectively modifies and compatibilizes “dirty” recycle streams by repairing damage and restoring the melt strength of polyamides contaminated with more than 10% polypropylene, calcium carbonate or other materials. This allows processors to use a higher proportion of recycled material to reduce virgin resin consumption without compromising the properties of their end product. “Advances in recycling technology have made

recycled polyamide streams more abundant, be it used carpeting or automotive scrap, but producers still face significant challenges working with degraded, contami- nated materials to produce materials that can compete against virgin polymers,” says Jeremy Austin, business development manag- er for Cray Valley Hydrocarbon Specialty Chemicals. “SMA 9000 concentrates increase the performance of recycled polyamide, freeing manufacturers to use more recycled content. That reduces their material costs and it’s good for the environment.” Manufacturers will find the pellet form easier to handle than conventional powders. In addition, it

GreenGran of Hong Kong uses proprietary technology developed by Wageningen University of the Netherlands for the industrial production of natural fibre reinforced polymers. Its GG granules are said to be “technically comparable” with glass-fibre-reinforced PP but have a lower density. The company supplies reinforced PP compounds
with loadings of 20-50% natural fibre for injection moulding applications. It also offers non-halogen flame retardant materials, plus it can replace PP with PLA to create 100% bio-based and biodegradable grades. ❙

Guangdong Meilian New Materials Technology (formerly known as Shantou Meilian Chemical) will be showcasing its masterbatch range based on PE and PP carrier materials, including white, black, colour and additive products. The Chinese company also produces PE compounds. It has 18 compounding lines and an annual capacity of more than 40,000 tonnes. Target
