Akro-Plastic Akro-Plastic will launch its Akromid Next and Precite Next sustainable compound ranges at the show, including the Next G line of products based on PA6,9. Part of the company’s low density ‘Lite” series, the materials contain some bio-based content and recycled carbon fibre and can be combined with either chemical or physical foaming to further reduce weight. The company, part of the Feddersen
Group, will also show materials for 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, applications. An example is the carbon fibre reinforced Akromid B3 ICF30 AM 7451 grade, which was recently used in a project for car-pooling company Moia to produce hygiene face shields to counter the Covid virus. �

ance, the PA grade is said to offer good resistance to creep while a high quality surface effect can be achieved without additional treatments or coatings despite its glass fibre content of up to 50%. The company claims the compound offers higher retention of physical properties in the
conditioned state when compared to
alternative halogen-free PA66 materials. It is targeting applications in areas such as automotive powertrain items, as well as E&E connectors, magnet switches, or relay blocks. �
