Right: Parts produced using Finke’s multi-layer colouring technology and post consumer plastics
will provide more detail of the multi-layer process- ing technology it has developed for production of coloured parts manufactured using post consumer plastics. This uses a coloured virgin outer layer with a core of non-coloured recyclate. �

FKuR will present two new glass fibre reinforced additions to its Bio-Flex and Terralene ranges of bio-based plastic compounds as well as some new additions to its Terraprene line of TPEs. Bio-Flex GF30 is a PLA-based compound with a glass fibre content of 30% that combines a relatively high stiffness of 8,400 MPa with tensile strength of 70 MPa and notched impact strength of 6.4 kJ/m². It is said to be suitable for applications requiring good mechanical performance without resistance to high temperatures or flame retardancy. Terralene GF30 is based on Braskem’s bio-based Green PE. With a glass fibre content of 30%, it provides a stiffness of 4,800 MPa.
New additions to the Terraprene TPE com- pound family include SI 701 and SI 801, which offer a bio-based content ranging from 55% to 75% They are available in Shore A 40 to 80 hardness values with properties similar to conventional TPE-S grades. Terraprene CI 250 84A and Terrapene CI 450 93A are two oil-free TPEs with Shore A hard-
Right: Ventilation covers are a possible application for Bio-Flex and Terralene glass reinforced compounds from FKuR
ness values of 84 and 93. They provide a soft-touch surface and resist kinking and deformation, allowing them to substitute TPE-O and PVC in some injection moulding applications. �

Grafe will present a number of new additions to its range of masterbatches, including colour and stabiliser combination products for PC/ABS, a new line of anti-static masterbatches and compounds, and a number of specialty products for developers of PLA-based 3D print filaments. The new colour and additive combination masterbatches build on the company’s portfolio for automotive ABS applications, extending that to PC/ ABS blends. The latest grades exhibit higher UV stability at lower dosage levels, providing potential to reduce the cost of the final formulation. Grafe will also show its latest anti-static master-
batches, which can be used to manage electrical discharge as well as to minimise dust attraction to cosmetic surfaces. Available in a range of carriers, the masterbatches provide an immediate and long-lasting anti-static effect in the range from 10E6 to 10E9 ohms, the company claims. Typical dosage levels are in the range from 2-5%. The company will also launch its new Percolen PA 4300
