K2019 PREVIEW | POLYMERS AND ADDITIVES
PA6 compounds offering glass reinforcement levels of 30 and 50%. According to the company, the new grades provide an 80% reduction in water uptake over 24 hours in the dry as moulded state and a 30% reduction on saturation compared to standard PA6 alternatives. In the conditioned state the Creamid P2H7G6 and P3H2G10 grades show higher tensile elastic modulus and strength at break while spiral flow tests show a higher flow than comparable PA6 grades but similar levels of mould shrinkage, allowing ue on existing processing machinery and moulds. The company says the Creamid P grades are available globally. �

the Netherlands and the polymers produced are certified through the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC+) scheme, which uses mass balance principles to allocate a renewability content based on the amount of renewable feedstock fed into the cracker. The company plans to have a semi-commercial plant refining and upgrading pyrolysis oil feedstocks by 2021. �

Songwon will introduce a new family of flame retardant synergists at the show. The products a use a proprietary manufacturing technology and have been devel- oped with performance, safety and sustainability in mind, Songwon says. The company will also feature the latest hindered amine light stabiliser (HALS) introduction from SABO, with which it has a long term collaboration agreement. SaboStab UV216 has been developed for demanding agricultural film applications. �

Teknor Apex will unveil two new additions to its Creamid P Series family of low moisture absorption
64 COMPOUNDING WORLD | September 2019
Tolsa will display its expanded line of ADINS clay synergist flame retardant additives for use with PP, PVC and silicones. The technology is based on sepiolite clays, which the company modifies to enhance char creation, reduce dripping and to improve mechanical properties in halogen-free systems. The extended product portfolio includes a new
grade that uses titanium dioxide to improve the performance of intumescent systems for PP and coatings. This new ADINS Clay grade demonstrates further stabilisation of the char in intumescent systems at dosages of around 1-2%. In intumescent systems, it decreases and delays the peak heat release rate and acts as a smoke suppressor. Key end-use applications include transportation, pipe, coatings, and wire and cable. Tolsa has also introduced ADINS Clay Sil1, which is intended for use in silicones and PVC formulations where it delivers reduced heat release and smoke suppression. It is said to provide an effective alternative to
antimony trioxide (ATO). Another new grade,
ADINS Clay G1, contains boron glass and functions as a ceramifying additive to improve mechanical performance of the char. It is based on an activated natural silicate with boron compounds and is targeted at applications such as cable and rubber compounds for transportation. �
