K2022 PREVIEW | MATERIALS
are said to be comparable to standard virgin PA66 and TPU long fibre formulations. The company will also show its latest polyolefin
antioxidant Cesa Nox A4R additives for recycling applications. These are formulated to simplify processing of PCR content. The PCR Colour Prediction Service will also be demonstrated. Intended to help brand owners understand what colours are achievable based on the amount of PCR used, the company describes this as a first of its kind for the plastics industry. It uses proprietary software to measure resin charac- teristics and identify the gamut of colours that can be successfully reproduced in a specific PCR-based material. �

Above: Avient is pitching its Edgetek PKE polyketone as a low carbon footprint alternative to PA in EV applications
two additions to its reSound REC TPE portfolio, both formulated with polyvinyl butyral (PVB) recycled from automotive glass. Target applications include automotive exterior and under-hood components. Other new introductions include Edgetek PKE
polyketone (PK) grades with non-halogen flame retardants (NHFRs), which the company sees finding use in demanding EV components where it says they can offer a lower carbon footprint alternative to PA. Avient will also present new additions to its
portfolio of Complēt REC LFT composites based on recycled resins. Building on the grades introduced earlier this year using PA derived from reclaimed end-of-life fishing nets, the new formulations incorporate various levels of post industrial recycled content in the resin matrix — from 25- 100% for PA types and 25-75% for TPU.

BASF says the theme for its K2022 presence will be the “Plastics Journey”, which it breaks down into the three key phases of Make, Use and Recycle. “The Make phase is about improving how plastics are made, from product design to the choice of raw materials and the manufacturing process itself,” says Performance Materials Presi- dent Dr Martin Jung. At K, the company will show how it can support customers in tracking and reducing product carbon footprint, such as the use of renewable or recycled feedstocks. “In the Use phase of their lifecycle, plastics play out all their strengths: by improving energy efficiency through their light weight, by prolonging product lifecycles thanks to their robustness and peak performance, and by enabling more sustain- able applications in sectors such as e-mobility and household appliances,” Jung says. The company
With our innovative recycling and processing technologies, even the most heavily contaminated polymer waste can be recycled. But not simply recycled: reprocessed to consistently high quality products for demanding applications, even after repeated processing cycles.
