Hexpol TPE will introduce its solvent bonding Mediprene grades for simplified device assembly
Interseroh group company Alba will be promoting its latest capabilities in “upcycling” of recycled plastics. The company says that investments at its competence centre at Maribor in Slovenia mean that it is now able to produce compounds contain- ing fibre and mineral reinforcements that are tailored for specific end use industries. It says it can offer products based on PE, PP, PSA and a range of technical plastics for applications requiring durability, mechanical performance and UV resistance.

Hexpol TPE will present examples of its more recent TPE innovations, including its most recent Dryflex, Dryflex Green and Mediprene grades. Dryflex TPEs are pitched primarily at automotive interior applications such as floor mats, cup holder liners, fascia mats and HVAC components. They are designed to minimise VOC emissions, offering low fogging and low odour performance. The company says some grades score ≤3 in odour standards such as VDA 270 while gravimetric fogging results to DIN 75201 show condensate of <2mg. Thermal desorption analysis to VDA 278 shows a VOC result of <500 µg/g and fog of <1,500 µg/g. New additions to the Mediprene family of TPEs for medical applications include several grades for solvent bonding. Aimed at applications requiring the assembly of tubes to injection moulded components, such as connectors, the new grades can eliminate the use of costly cyanoacrylate adhesives and primers. High bond strengths are said to be achieved using a cyclohexanone solvent. Mediprene solvent bondable TPEs for injection moulding are available in hardness values from 70 Shore A to 45 Shore D. Representative grades have passed cytotoxicity tests according to ISO 10993-5 and biocompatibility tests according to ISO 10993-10 (Intracutaneous Reactivity), ISO 10993-11 (Acute Systemic Toxicity) and USP Class VI. The company will also show a number of new
softer additions to its Dryflex Green family of TPEs derived from renewable resources. The range, which includes some grades with more than 90% bio-based content, now includes products with hardness values ranging from 15 Shore A through to 55 Shore D. �

54 COMPOUNDING WORLD | October 2017
Kraiburg TPE will show a new TPE series that is formulated to provide good adhesion to EPDM elastomers. The new additions to its Thermolast K product range are also said to offer good flow and resistance to UV and weathering, making them suitable for applications such as window seal profiles and corner joints. �

Lanxess will place the focus of its display on its latest high performance materials for the automo- tive industry with a particular focus on its XTS2 heat stabilisation system (Xtreme Temperature Stabilisa- tion), which increases the continuous operating temperatures of certain Durethan polyamides to more than 230°C. The first example of the new product line is a glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 grade, Durethan AKV35XTS2, that is formulated to withstand the increasingly severe temperatures in under-the-hood automotive applications. Potential uses include air intake modules with an integrated intercooler or air ducts near the turbo- charger. �

Lehmann & Voss will show its high performance Luvocom CXR PA compounds, which can be cross-linked by irradiation. Products from this line are characterised by elevated temperature resist- ance and high continuous service temperature. Reinforced grades are offered where high strength and extended lifetimes at elevated temperatures are required.
Also intended for high performance applica-
tions, Luvocom 1114 is based on high-temperature resistant PEKK. In comparison with other high-tem- perature polymers, the company says wear and friction characteristics of compounds from this product line exhibit a low and particularly uniform curve up to 165°C. In addition, the group will be highlighting its products for the 3D printing arena. Luvocom 3F
