Tosaf develops PPA carrier system


Tosaf subsidiary Tosaf Color Service has launched PPAX, a new colour masterbatch carrier system based on the high-performance polymer and whose specially selected pigments allow increased processing temperatures. This makes it possible to colour products in many different colours without affect- ing the material’s special properties. Tosaf said that unlike PA66-based masterbatches, which are often used as an alternative for cost reasons, the high thermal stability, good strength, stiffness, and toughness values, low moisture absorption and high chemical resistance, are also retained in coloured injection mouldings.

in the PPAX product range can be laser-marked, and processors using PPAX can take advantage of the higher melt temperatures available to shorten cycle times without being limited by the colour masterbatch. Rudolf Reinhart, Product

said: “PPAX enables us to meet the requirements of industries in which electrical and electronic components are exposed to high thermal loads. These include the automotive industry with its focus on e-mobility, as well as manufacturers of kitchen appliances and white goods, which require colour-coded plug connectors for a wide range of electrical outlets.” �www.tosaf.com

Mocom, part of the Otto Krahn Group, has held the grand opening of a new production hall for carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) in Gardelegen, Germany. The new €10m hall, constructed on a 39,000 m² site, will enable the company to produce more than 3,000 tonnes/yr of CFRP. “We prioritised future-proofing this new production hall,” said Jens Kaatze, Mocom CEO. “For instance, a photovoltaic system on the roof supplies electricity autonomously and we will utilise our process waste heat for heating.” Mocom is initially operating one extruder line. � www.mocom.eu
