Additives group Songwon says it is responding to industry requirements with an experimental product, XP2121, specifically devel- oped for lower-quality recycled polypropylene and Songnox PQ and designed to improve the process- ing of recycled LDPE/LLDPE films. The company also offers customers tailored products to address various challenges such as Songsorb 5710, which is a benzotriazole UV absorber suitable for a wide range of polymers including TPU, PU foam, PVC, PVB, PMMA and PC. Elsewhere, the Songstomer TPU range offers polymer processors a wide spectrum of grades suitable for extrusion, injection moulding, and calendaring, while delivering consistent, high-quality performance with reliable processing and excellent batch-to-batch consist- ency. The portfolio also includes polyether grades with Shore hardness A and D that meet stringent international cable standards. �

Swiss mineral producer and distributor of speciality materials Omya will place a strong focus on performance polymers, circularity, decarbonisation, and lightweighting. It offers pre-consumer recycled grades, including Omya- loop FC for general purpose applications, and Omya
Smartfill 55-AV for engineering
materials and biopolymers, verified by Bureau Veritas and pro-
duced using green electricity. These grades
also reduce emissions by up to two-thirds and support compliance with EU sustainability directives. Meanwhile, the Omyasphere 900 series of hollow glass microspheres are engineered to reduce product weight while maintaining strength making them ideal for automotive, aerospace, and electronics. Omya Performance Polymers Distribu- tion (OPPD) combines its polymer distribution network with Distrupol. �

The Wacker group will be presenting itself as a manufacturer of prefabricated components for the first time at the show. Laminates offered under the brand name Nexipal Sense consist of highly stretchable insulating and electrically conductive silicone rubber films produced using a specially developed and fully automated roll-to-roll manu- facturing process. Pressure or flex movements change the electrical capacitance of the compo- nent, providing precise sensor signals for applica- tions in medical technology, robotics, and sports. Wacker’s silicone laminates typically consist of layers with a film thickness of between 20 to 200 microns characterised by exceptional elasticity, dimensional stability, and toughness. They are skin-friendly, biocompatible, UV-resistant and can withstand temperatures from 40° C to 180° C. �
