K2019 PREVIEW | MATERIALS AND ADDITIVES
stabiliser, flame retardant and blowing agent additive masterbatches. Luvobatch PE AO 0077, for example, is formulated to increase the thermal stability of PP; Luvobatch PA HS 9611 and PA AO 0043 are copper stabilised products intended to extend life of PA at high temperatures. The com- pany says a PA6 containing 5% of PA AO 0043 in PA6 will retain 70% of its original mechanical properties after exposure for 240 hours at 175°C. �

EC electrically conductive PA compound, which is intended for production of injection moulded electronics housings and covers. In the 3D print area, the company will be
presenting the “Colour on Demand” service it has developed together with Dutch filament producer ColorFabb. That allows users to specify RAL and Pantone colours in PLA for fast delivery in volumes starting from 2kg. It will also be promoting its other additive masterbatch options for the 3D print filament market, including conductive and laser marking additives and carbon fibres. �

Right: Tolsa launches its Protection line of silver-based antimicrobials at K
Lehmann & Voss, which marks it 125th anniversary this year, will present a number of recent applications demonstrating the value of its materials in 3D printing, light-weighting and performance enhancement. In the former category – 3D print – it will show a demonstrator part produced by Italian boat building innovator Ocore in its Luvocom 3F PAHT CF. This carbon fibre reinforced grade is one of four different high performance 3D print filaments produced by the company. Two light-weighting applications will be displayed. KOKI Technik Transmission Systems subsidiary CarNaTrix is using a grade from its Luvocom 25 range – which is based on DSM’s ForTii Ace high temperature resistant PPA resin – to produce gearbox selector forks. And Hyundai Advanced Materials is using its Luvotech 3-50154 to produce large format sunrrof frames. This PA6 blend compound is produced using a proprietary extrusion technology with flow enhancement additive and a special “flat” glass fibre and is optimised to minimise distortion. The company will also present its Luvobatch
74 COMPOUNDING WORLD | October 2019
Solvay Performance Polyamides will show the latest developments in its Technyl PA66 product line, including the introduction of two new applica- tion specific products: Technyl Orange and Technyl Blue. The former is a colour-stabilised line aimed at electrical connector applications in the electric and hybrid vehicle market; the latter is also aimed at electric vehicles but at their more demanding cooling system applications. The company will also unveil its HUB by Technyl product development support initiative. This combines upgraded MMI Technyl Design predictive simulation, application performance testing and Sinterline 3D-printing services. (The Solvay Performance Polyamides business in Europe is being acquired by Domo Chemicals as part of a deal expected to close before the end of the year. BASF is buying the rest of the operation.) �

Tolsa will launch the Protection range of silver-based antimicrobi- als at K. Adins Protection S4 and Adins Protection S10 are said to be active against gram- positive and gram-negative bacteria and fungi. The company says its Adins technology allows the
different active substances to be distributed evenly across the surface of the clay additive carrier, which itself disperses easily in the
polymer matrix. It says this allows an optimal dispersion to be achieved, which translates into high antimicrobial activity at lower dosages. �
