K2019 PREVIEW | POLYMERS AND ADDITIVES
Addiplast Group will present a number of new Adiflam flame retardant grades targeting the special performance requirements of the electric vehicle sector and will introduce a range of PPS and PPO compounds for demanding engineering applications. It will also present its latest products for lightweighting, including a range of natural fibre reinforced PP Addibio grades suitable for use in both structural and visible parts, plus a collection of carbon fibre reinforced PP and PA compounds. In addition to its latest compounds and master-
batches, Addiplast will also be promoting the capabilities of its Addiscience R&D division and its extensive toll compounding capabilities. �

Akro-Plastic, part of the Feddersen Group of companies, will present its latest product develop- ments. The company has extended its portfolio of PPA compounds based on PA6T copolymers to include new grades based on the homopolymer PA9T (marketed under the brand name Akromid T9). These are characterised by a lower water absorption (less than half that of PA6T alternatives), which means more consistent mechanical perfor- mance. Initial tests also show better flow and faster crystallisation behaviour during injection moulding, which can be carried out at a slightly lower tem- perature of 300°C. For transport applications, the company has
extended and improved its halogen-free flame- retardant compounds. For example, its Akromid C28 GF 25 FRT is claimed to be the first glass reinforced PA to meet the requirements of rail industry stand- ard EN 45545-0 R1 HL2, R6 HL2 AND R7 HL2 as well as the US NFPA 130 regulation. For the aerospace sector it has developed Akromid PA K17 FR black (5762), a 35% glass reinforced polyimide compound that meets FAR 25.853 requirements. Akro-Plastic has worked closely with machinery maker Feddem (also a Feddersen Group company)
to develop compounding systems that handle high levels of fibre reinforcement with minimal fibre breakage. It recently extended that partner- ship to long fibre reinforced compounds, which it says can provide 2-3 times higher tenacity than short fibre reinforced compounds with improved ageing and creep properties. It cites the example of Akromid B28 LGF 40 1 L, a chemically-coupled blend of PA6 and PP that flows better than a PA6 with 40% short glass fibre reinforcement yet offers conditioned strengths higher than a 50% short fibre reinforced PA6. PA66/PA6I/6T blends also show significant advantages in long fibre formulations, the company says. For example, its Akroloy PA LGF 50 natural (5504) achieves a strength of 290MPa (10% higher than the short fibre equivalent) and retains 200MPa after 5,000 h of heat ageing at 150°C. At 265MPa, conditioned values are only slightly below the dry-as-moulded values. Akro-Plastic will be exhibiting alongside Fed- dersen Group companies including plastics distribu- tor KD Feddersen, toll compounder PolyComp, bio-based and biodegradable compound producer Bio-Fed, colour and additive masterbatch maker AF-Color, compounding machinery producer Feddem and engineering service provider M.TEC, the most recent addition to the group. �
