Evonik presented its latest solutions for plastics recycling applications, including processing aids and additives for defoaming, wetting, de-inking, de-labeling and odour control. It also showed its Dynasylan Silfin 301 for halogen free, flame retardant HFFR cable sheathing and water pipe production, Spherilex 30 AB and Sperilex 60 AB antiblocking agents for film production, Tegomer H-Si 6441 P high-performance flame retardants, and Tegomer H-Si 6441 H flow promoter.
On the polymer side, the company focused on its Vestamid eCO E40 sustainable high-performance PA12 polymer. It is produced using renew- able energy with 50% of its material content obtained from chemically recycled end-of-life tyres (mass balance). The company said carbon footprint is reduced by 42% com- pared to traditional Vestamid product. �

and focuses on low environmental impact in production and application. HAR talcs enhance compound
stiffness and enabe compounders to downgauge parts while maintaining good impact and scratch perfor- mance. They are particularly suitable for production of automotive parts and rigid packaging. Jetfine 3 C talc is an ultrafine engineered mineral solution developed for use with biodegradable and bio-based plastics. The company also highlighted its €40m investment in talc production in China, which it says will be com- missioned early next year. It said the plant will particularly target automo- tive lightweighting markets, offering regional customers shorter lead times and more favourable cost. �

KraussMaffei introduced its new Direct Compounding Injection Moulding (DCIM) machine at the K show, which allows moulders to compound their own formulations in-house at the injection unit using recycled or virgin materials. The company says the single screw DCIM technology is complementary to its current Injection Moulding Com- pounder (IMC) system, which uses a twin-screw compounding extruder combined with an injection moulding machine. The IMC requires a minimum shot of 2kg for efficient operation; the DCIM solution works with shot weights from 50g to 2kg.
In the DCIM system, a 30:1
