Chimei will present its pre-commercial chemically recycled methylmethacrylate for production of optical light guides for displays. The company says it plans to
introduce the technology commer- cially in the second half of 2023 as part of a planned portfolio of sustain- able polymers that will include PMMA and MMA/PS and MMA/ABS blends. The company says it is working in

Clariant, together with Siegwerk, Borealis, and Beiersdorf, will use K2022 to outline its role in the ‘Design4Circularity’ initiative, which is aimed at creating fully-recyclable packaging offering high-quality visuals and distinctive shapes. The project brief is to develop a packaging solution that creates a cleaner waste stream that can loop back into high-value applications. It centres on a colour-less polyolefin bottle with 100% PCR content and printed de-inkable shrink sleeve. Clariant’s role is to develop the additives to protect the properties and quality of the PCR resin. �

Covestro’s display in Dusseldorf will emphasise circular and sustainable solutions, promoting its long-term goal of offering climate-neutral versions of all of its products through the use of renewable (mass-balanced) raw materials and green power, as well as initiatives to improve both mechanical and chemical recycling opportunities. The company will emphasise the suitability of its polycar- bonate (PC) and thermo- plastic polyurethane (TPU) products in areas such as energy storage and electrification. In car charging stations, for example, Global Head of Perfor- mance Materials Hermann-Josef Dörholt

says the combination of PC and TPU “offers solutions that are more reliable and more sustain- able.”
Opportunities for PC in battery and EV drivetrain
applications will also be highlighted. Covestro says it has developed a concept for a lightweight space-efficient cell holder using PC and PC blends that meets industry needs in terms of dimensional stability and safety. Covestro CEO Markus Steilemann argues that PC stands out among ETPs for its ability to meet all the requirements for these emerging applications, a fact he says is evidenced in the company’s PC business exceeding overall ETP market growth. “If you really want to have the combination of surface and dimensional properties then you will easily see there is no other choice,” he says. �

Domo Chemicals will use K2022 to underline the global availability of its Technyl PA products, including its growing line of Technyl 4 Earth sustainability-focused grades. As part of its focus on climate and circularity, the company will highlight its newly announced sustainability targets. These include expanding the share of circular products in its engineered material sales from today’s 10% to 30% by 2035. It will also present an overview of dissolving tech- nologies, chemical recycling, and recycling from production waste. The company will also promote its recently
extended database for its Technyl C range of PA6-GF materials and its latest injection moulding simulation database. Staff will be available to discuss case studies, application simulations and prototypes. �

DSM Engineering Materials will introduce a new mass-balance bio-based addition to its Stanyl product line. Stanyl B-MB (which stands for Bio-based Mass Balanced) has an attributed 100% bio-based content of up to 100%, according to the ISCC Plus-certified mass-balancing solution. The Stanyl B-MB grades offer the same charac- teristics, performance, and quality, as conven- tional Stanyl grades. However, Stanyl B-MB carries a carbon footprint up to 50% lower than fossil-based routes, which the company

says means a 3.3-tonne reduction per tonne.
