wire compounds. The established Sachtolith HDS and L grades have now been joined by the TC family, which is designed to improve thermal conductivity of polymer systems without increasing electrical conductivity. � www.venatorcorp.com

tion. According to the company, the TR29 grade can be used to create masterbatches with a very high TiO2 loading while maintaining a high throughput rate and a low specific energy require- ment–offering the potential to reduce production and transportation costs. The company will also show its Sachtolith range


of white pigments, which find niche applications in areas such as production of glass fibre reinforced plastics or as a metal deactivator in white cable and


Victrex will show the latest additions to its line of high performance PAEK polymers, including its CT200 and FG product lines and its specially optimised grades for 3D print filaments and powders. Victrex CT grades are designed for use at cryogenic temperatures (-150°C to -200°C), principally in sealing applications where they are claimed to offer a better combination of low temperature ductility and high temperature creep performance than established alternatives such as PCTFE. Victrex FG products carry the required regulatory approvals for use in food contact applications such as processing equipment. The company’s PAEK materials for 3D print applications are said to achieve better mechanical properties than has been realised with PEEK in additive manufacturing processes in the past. � www.victrex.com
