K2022 | EXHIBITION REVIEW
Right: Veolia launched its new PlastiLoop recycled material sourcing initiative
engineering resins, the company says. Developed primarily for food contact polyole-
fins, Songsorb 1164 is a triazine UV stabiliser that is claimed to provide longer service lifetimes than conventional benzotriazole UV absorbers in both polyolefin and engineering plastics. The company also presented its re-stabilisation solutions for mechanical recycling of post-consum- er polyolefins. The company said its Songnox Binary Blends, which contain both primary and secondary antioxidants, have been shown to improve processing and long-term thermal stability. �

Teknor Apex presented its latest developments in sustainable PCR-containing TPEs – the Monprene RX-CP15100 series — including a grade using waste reprocessed by Israel-based start up UBQ Materials. UBQ Materials claims to have developed a
process that allows unsorted municipal waste – in- cluding organics – to be converted to a material suitable for use in plastic compounds. Teknor Apex is working with UBQ and is using its

recovered material (together with PCR plastic) in its Monprene S3 CP-15170 BLK grade, a black 70 Shore A high-flow TPE incorporating 30% sustain- able content. It is designed for injection moulding applications or overmoulding onto polypropylene and is said to offer very good haptics. The company said it is the first in a series that will provide hardness values from 55 to 80 Shore A. The company also showed the new Sarlink R2
3180B TPV, which is based on the existing Sarlink 3180B product but incorporates 25% PIR content. It said the black grade is essentially equivalent to its virgin counterpart in terms of processing and performance. �

Venator showed the latest additions to its Altiris range of near-infrared TiO2
pigments, which can
improve the thermal stability and durability of plastics and reduce warpage of parts exposed to solar radiation. Altiris W400 is a near infrared reflecting pigment intended for use with white, bright, and light-col- oured plastics used in exterior applications such as window and door profiles, sidings, decking, soffits and fascias. The company’s Altiris 550 and 800 grades are intended for use with for mid to dark coloured plastics. �

Veolia launched its PlastiLoop initiative at the show. It is designed to integrate the capabilities of its 37 global plastic recycling plants – which combined processed more than 470,000 tonnes of material last year — to provide customers with high-performance ready-to-use recycled PET, PP, HDPE, PS, ABS, LDPE, and PC resins. “The new PlastiLoop offer brings together all our technical and commercial expertise in recycled plastics to provide our customers with the best possible support with customised solutions. It offers the strength of the Group, through its experts and its various recycling plants, to ensure the best access to recycled plastic deposits,” said Estelle Brachlianoff, Chief Executive Officer of Veolia . The company said its circular resins are suitable for use across many sectors — including packaging, automotive, industrial, consumer, and construction — and offer clients a simple way to reduce product carbon footprint without sacrificing quality. �
