EXHIBITION PREVIEW | NPE 2018
low smoke zero halogen product line. Thermodan HF HF TP343NT is a high perfor- mance low smoke halogen-free cable jacket compound that meets the requirements of UL 444 Copper Media Communication Cables; Category 5e and 6 and passes the UL 1666 Riser Flame Test over conventional 4 pair HDPE insulations at a 22-mil jacket wall. The grade also meets the new European CPR B2 classification for fibre optic cable jacketing. It is natural in colour, UV resistant, and is certified ‘Halogen Free’ by UL to UL2885. The latest addition to the company’s
moisture-curing Pexidan XLPE product line is HF S/CUV System, which is said to be suitable
Right: Sikora’s Purity Concept system provides 100% pellet inspection
for UL 1277 tray control and UL Subject 13 instrumentation cables, transit systems; thermoset fibre optic cables for CPR and hazardous environ- ments; offshore oil platforms and substation control cables requiring low smoke zero halogen technology. �

Sikora will exhibit its Purity Scanner Advanced, which provides online inspection and sorting of plastic granules using a combination of X-ray and optical camera systems to detect contamination on the surface as well as the interior of plastic pellets. Contaminated pellets are automatically sorted out and can be classified depending on the type of contamination and application. For smaller material throughputs, and for
applications where sampling analysis or incoming goods inspection are sufficient, the company also offers the Purity Concept System. These can be equipped with X-ray technology, optical cameras or infrared sensors and can detect contamination in pellets and flakes. �

Starlinger will demonstrate its odour neutralising technology for plastics recycling. The three-step procedure - material preparation, degassing and post-treatment - works without the use of additives and removes even deeply embedded odours, according to the company. The company will also highlight its latest technology for rPET sheet production. The Viscotec deCON/viscoSHEET can process 100% rPET in-house waste and virgin material at guaranteed IV

Steer will display its Omega Fractional Lobe
Processor at the show, the latest version of its co-rotating twin screw compounder designed for demanding mixing and reactive processing techniques. According to the company, the machine can be optimised to perform devolatilisa- tion, shear, compression, elonga- tion, surface renewal, distribution and dispersion of the com- poundin ingredients, either alone with minimal interfering effects from other actions or in
combination. The Fractional Lobe technology is said to eliminate hot zones and meta- radial shear, minimising the risk of material degradation and improving process control. Steer will also use an interac-
tive “Touch and Tell” system to present the benefits offered by its Intelligent Compounding technology in 20 different
applications, including filler, additive,
black, white and colour masterbatch, pearles- cent pigments, recycled polymers, flame retardants and long fibre reinforced thermoplastics. �

Struktol will introduce its expanded line of additives for reuse/recycled plastics and polymer compounds that contain recycled content. The company says that its products are suitable for a variety of different resin systems from polyolefins to engineered plastics, offering greater processing efficiency and enhanced performance. For engineering plastics, Struktol offers multiple
products that combine a compatibiliser with lubricants to create a combination that aids in incorporation of fillers (mineral or glass) with improved mixing and flow properties as well as mould release. The company says that these products result in better processing, improved surface quality, and in some cases, better physical properties. Struktol TR 229 is for use in both polycarbonate (PC) and PC/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) blends as well as PA 6 and 6,6 compounds. Struktol
