K2025 – MATERIALS | EXHIBITION PREVIEW


will showcase over 200 m of recycled continuous carbon fibre along with PA and SEBS compounds utilising a bio-based and biodegradable cellulose nano fibre (CNF). CNF reinforced polyamide becomes less viscous when agitated making it highly suitable for 3D printing applications. In response to increasing demand for PFAS-free


materials, Asahi Kasei has also developed a PFAS-free low-friction polyamide and will introduce the new grade for the first time in Europe. The com- pany will also display the transparent polymer AZP, which addresses the challenges of conventional transparent polymers in applications with polaris- ing light, such as Virtual & Augmented Reality devices and automotive head-up displays (HUD), while maintaining superior processability for large-scale production of injection-moulded optical components. � www.asahi-kasei.com


Additive producer Baerlocher will once again be presenting a number of products including its Baeropol T-Blend family which helps suppress thermal degradation and gel formation. In re- sponse to tightening regulations in the EU and US federal and state legislation, the company has developed the Baerolub AID product family, a PFAS-free alternative for PPAs. The company will also showcase its Tin Replacement program which helps customers make the transition to a more sustainable alternative, ensuring compliance with REACH, RoHS, and other global regulations. Visitors to Baerlocher’s booth will have the oppor- tunity to engage with technical experts from the EU, the Americas, and Asia, with discussions


focused on addressing sustainability challenges and tailoring solutions to meet specific customer needs. � www.baerlocher.com


At K2022, BASF introduced its LowPCF and ZeroP- CF portfolios as solutions to reduce the Product Carbon Footprint by a minimum of 30% by Mass Balance Approach. At this year’s event, the company intends to showcase products for which fossil resources are replaced with renewable feedstock at the beginning of the production process using the Biomass Balance approach. This helps reduce the carbon footprint of products such as Siemens’ circuit breaker SIRIUS 3RV2, which uses Ultramid BMB and Ultradur BMB, along with certified compostable and soil-biodegradable biopolymers incorporating Ecovio and Ecoflex BMB. To ensure attendees get the most out of their visit the company will be present with six different teams: Performance Materials, Monomers, Styrenic Foams, Plasticizers, Plastic Additives and TrinamiX, which makes technology to help waste sorting. � www.basf.com


Part of Benvic’s message for K2025 is to embrace the potential of PVC and ensure it continues to be a valuable resource for generations to come. At the show it says it will display a wide range of bespoke material solutions which not only provide optimal cost and performance, but also factor in the total cost of ownership, including environmental and LCA support, backed up by Benvic’s EcoVadis Gold Star rating. � www.benvic.com
