K2022 PREVIEW | MATERIALS
The company is also expanding capacity for its
Topas COC polymer with a new plant at Leuna in Germany. It will have a capacity of 20,000 tonnes and will be operational in H2 of 2024. The show will also provide a first opportunity to see the company’s recently introduced Plastron LFT resin, which is produced using regenerated cellulose fibres. It is claimed to provide weight reduction opportunities while maintaining mechan- ical strength and reducing CO2
emissions. �

Above: Palsagaard will show its growing range of Einar
plant-based additives for plastics
enhancement features including electrical and thermal conductivity, increased tensile strength, and improved barrier properties. The company will also present its extensive
portfolio of electrically conductive masterbatches. These contain high loadings of carbon black and can be diluted into various polymers to impart electrical conductivity. The masterbatches allow the compounder or processor to easily incorporate the desired level of masterbatch to achieve a targeted resistivity level. �

OCS will be demonstrating its PS25C pellet scanner, which can be used in a laboratory or online implementation for real-time inspection, measurement, evaluation and classification of granulates, recyclates and powders. Using specific camera and lighting technology and high-performance hardware and software, the company says it can detect and classify gels, black specks or burn marks. It is particularly practical when used in an online application, where data can be transmitted directly to production and process control systems. �

Polyplastics Group will show the latest develop- ments in its Duracon POM, Laperos LCP, and Topas COC businesses, as well as publicising the avail- ability of its Technical Solutions Centre at Raunheim in Germany, which opened this year. The company says production capacity for
Duracon POM is being expanded with a new manufacturing plant in Jiangsu Province, China. This will start up in 2024 with an initial capacity of 90,000 tonnes, rising to 150,000 tonnes. Polyplastics also says it is now marketing its
Laperos LCPs in the EMEA region. Buoyed by strong growth in the electrical/electronics sector, it plans to build a new polymerisation plant with a capacity of 5,000 tonnes at its site in Taiwan.
42 COMPOUNDING WORLD | September 2022
Palsgaard, a producer of plant-based emulsifiers and polymer additives, will display its complete portfolio of sustainable products and provide insight in to its new developments and investments. The company’s Einar additives serve as highly
effective anti-fog and anti-static surfactants, dispersing aids, ageing modifiers, EPS coatings and mould release agents. At K2022, the company says it will introduce new plant-based additions to its growing portfolio. These are designed to help customers stay ahead of increasingly stringent regulations on food-contact without compromising performance or quality. All can be used as drop-in replacements for fossil-based additives in existing polymer formulations. Palsgaard will also update visitors on the significant investments it is making into the future of its polymer additives business. These will see it double production capacity by 2024. �

SABIC will use K2022 to launch its BlueHero initiative, which it describes as an ecosystem of materials, solutions and expertise intended to help accelerate the world’s energy transition to electric power and to support global goals on climate change. The starting point with BlueHero is support for the automotive industry’s mission in creating better, safer and more efficient electric vehicles (EVs), with an emphasis on improving structural battery components with novel flame retardant materials and solution development expertise. “Our decision to initially focus on automotive
reflects the urgency of making progress in that space and the strengths we already have with established materials and capabilities that can allow us to support the shift to electric vehicles and contribute to a low carbon future,” says Abdulrah- man Al-Fageeh, SABIC’s Executive Vice President for Polymers. The SABIC booth will also showcase its latest innovations across other industries, including build-
