Radici launches Mixloy blends


RadiciGroup’s High Perfor- mance Polymers business has launched a new special- ity range of PA blends. The Radilon Mixloy products are based on PA6, PA66 and long chain PA resins and manufactured using a proprietary compatibilisa- tion technology, according to the company. Nicolangelo Peduto, R&D Manager at the business, said that development is currently focused on certain types of alloys “but, in the future, we plan to add other products, with the goal of achieving properties that are simply not attainable with individual polymers”. The key commercial aim is to “be able to meet the demand coming from market niches”.


COMPOUNDING WORLD | August 2020


PA is RadiciGroup’s main


material and it claims to be the only industrial group in Europe able to control its entire production process, including recycling. “Thanks to our upstream vertically integrated PA production, we have at our disposal a number of different types of polymers that give us design freedom in formulating the new Radilon Mixloys,” Peduto added.


n Separately, RadiciGroup announced its 2019 results, which it described as “positive” and in line with budgets. Consolidated sales were 10% down on 2018 at €1.1bn and EBITDA was €165m. It said Q1 2020 results had held up but “the rest of the year will feel the consequences of pandemic- induced uncertainty and difficulties”. � www.radicigroup.com
