K2019 PREVIEW | MATERIALS AND ADDITIVES
We carried a detailed preview of the polymer materials and additives of interest to compounders in the September edition of Compounding World (you can read that HERE). Over the next eight pages we take a look at some of the new introductions that missed last month’s publication deadline.
Right: Vydyne XHT is a new heat stabilised PA66 resin family from Ascend
AGC Chemicals will be showing some of the latest applications for its functionalised fluropolymers, including their use as com- patibilisers and for improving impact and wear resistance. In bends and composites, for example, the Fluon+ materi- als can carry functional reactive groups allowing them to compatiblise blends to create high performance polymers with some fluoropolymer characteristics or to enhance fibre-matrix adhesion in composite structures. Meanwhile, AGC’s fluoropolymer-modified PEEK compounds are said to display improved flexibility, impact resistance, wear resistance and better electrical properties than standard grades. They are suitable for production of semi-finished products, gears, cable sheathing and films. �

Ascend Performance Materials will introduce a new family of heat stabilised PA66 resins – Vydyne XHT – as well as extending its line of long-chain PA products. Vydyne XHT heat-stabilised PA66 is said to use a multi-stage heat stabilisation technology to allow it to withstand prolonged extended exposure at up to 230˚C. It is available in four glass-reinforced grades that are said to offer good flow, making them suitable for production of injection moulded automotive parts such as charge air coolers, integrated air intake manifolds, exhaust gas recirculators and resonators. The company will also launch a new line of
PA610 and PA612 long-chain polyamides, which are characterised by low moisture absorption, high
chemical and UV resistance and are aimed at applications such as cable ties, automotive cooling and fuel connectors, and sporting goods. �

recycling and its RST (Resin Stabilisation Technology) family
of customisable stabiliser packages. It
will also be demonstrating the use of its recycling additives in a demonstration in conjunction with machinery maker Erema and recycling technology company APK. Running in the Erema Circonomic Centre, it will show upcycling of low-value, difficult- to-recycle consumer film waste into a material suitable for construction sector applications. �

Epsan will launch a new range of technical compounds based on PA sourced from post-indus- trial waste streams. The Turkish compounder says Eplon+ products supplement its existing Eplon recycled PA grades, extending the scope of application into areas requiring higher perfor- mance or improved thermal resistance. Eplon+ grades are said to provide the same heat ageing properties as prime PA compounds and near matching mechanical performance. The new compounds are aimed at aplications in the automotive and household appliance markets where compliance with the principles of the circular economy is becoming more important. �

Finke will show a number of developments in the area of colour masterbatch. Firstly, it will present an expanded range of coloured masterbatches for laser marking applications. These Fibaplast combination masterbatches offer both colour and laser marking function and are available for PP, PE, PET, PC, ABS, PLA, PA6, and PA12. They comple- ment the standard laser marking additive master- batches the company offers for use with a separate colour masterbatch. The company will also show a comprehensive range of masterbatches for colouring bioplastics, including options for both biodegradable and durable compounds. Finally, it
