NATURAL FILLERS | ADDITIVES
to use a unique wood-composite,” said Peltola. The latest from the company is Sulapac Flow 1.7, designed for thermoformed packaging as a biobased, biodegradable alternative to materials such as moulded fibre, the company said. It is designed to have a smooth, high-quality surface that does not release loose particles and does not need coating or flocking. Compounder Eurotec said its PP-, ABS- and PE-based Tecolen BIO and Tecotek BIO products act as an alternative to traditional filled materials by using wood shavings, jute fibre, rice husks, walnut shells, agricultural waste such as coffee waste, consumer food waste, and natural fibres. The company said: “One of the most challeng-
ing characteristics of natural fillers compared to conventional fillers and reinforcing materials is their inherently low UV resistance. This is one of the properties especially critical to the applications that need to be resistant to outdoor conditions. With the right stabilisation and optimised formulations, Eurotec offers products with sustainable natural filler/fibre content that perform better and with- stand outdoor conditions to meet technical and demanding requirements.”
The product Tecolen BIO HP50 ZF20 BR043 CU
03 0H, with a content of 20% glass fibre/natural filler, was tested according to ISO 4892-2 test method for 1,500 hours and benchmarked by the initial surface properties. Colour and surface appearance properties were
checked with the test performed by simulating outdoor conditions. Eurotec said the product is perfectly suited to use in harsh outdoor conditions with its optimised filler/reinforcement ratio and its formulation delivering the right stabilisation.
