value. Safety margins can be reduced, while automatic control keeps the dimensions within the specification. The improved quality assurance
and material savings can lead to a significant productivity increase, it says. To measure up to three layers, Sikora also offers the X-Ray 6000 Pro. �

Simona has introduced its new ISCC Plus-certified product line, which will initially focus on the mass balance approach as well as bio-circular and circular raw materi- als.
Its ISCC Plus-certified pipes and fittings product line is based on the principle of mass balancing. The range was presented to the public for the first time at K2022. Simona has expanded its portfolio to include plastic products from climate-friendly sources, it says. Initially, the ISCC-certified product line will be available for PE100 pipes and fittings. This will be extended to other products in the future. The ISCC organisation provides certification for
raw materials that comply with established sustain- ability regulations. Simona will initially focus on pellets of a bio-circular and circular origin – that is, the pellets used for plastics production originate from biological waste, for instance. Because they are introduced prior to polymeri-
sation, the properties of ISCC Plus-certified products are fully preserved, compared to pure fossil-based pellets, said Simona. The pipes and fittings are available with various proportions of ecological pellets – ranging from 20 to 100%, depending on customer requirements. Simona has also come up with innovations in
the area of digitalisation – in terms of monitoring plastic pipe performance. Its PE 100 PSC
RC-Line range of protective-jacket pipes opens up the possibility of continuous leakage monitoring – by means of metal detectors fitted to the plastic. �

Songwon launched a number of new additives at K2022. It has expanded its portfolio with two new products. Songnox 9228 (an antioxidant) and Songsorb 1164 (a UV absorber). Both are suitable for applications including building & construction.
Thanks to its hydrolytic stability, Songnox
9228 overcomes the challenges traditional high performance phosphites/phosphonites face by allowing more severe polyolefin processing, especially at high temperatures. In addition, it delivers good colour protection for Cr-type high density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) and engineering resins. Songsorb 1164, a triazine, protects plastics against UV light degradation. Compared to conventional benzotriazole UV absorbers, it can achieve a longer service lifetime for polyolefins and engineering plastics that are exposed to outdoor weathering. It is also for polyolefins for food-contact use. “We continue to support the industry with
antioxidants and UV absorbers,” said Franky Cuypers, leader for global sales at Songwon. “Both new products are great additions to our portfolio.” �
