BASF extends


PCF data BASF announced availability of Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data for a number of new products at the recent K2022 fair. Produced using its own digital PCF application, the cradle-to-gate calculations are based on GHG emissions from its own plants – combined with either average data for purchased raw materials and purchased energy, or supplier-specific data as it becomes available. The first PCF data has been made available for several antioxidants and light stabilisers in its Irganox, Tinuvin and Chimassorb additive ranges. The company also launched Ultraform lowPCF, a new addition to its POM range that offers a PCF at least 30% lower than one of its conven- tional Ultraform grades, it said. � www.basf.com


K2022: visitor numbers exceed expectations

Visitor numbers at this year’s K2022 fell by 22% compared to the last edition in 2019. The show – in its 70th anniversary year – drew in around 224,000 visitors, at a time when many restrictions continue to affect international travel. The organiser, Messe Dusseldorf, had not publicly given an indication of the


expected attendance, but it is understood that the final figure was at the highest end of the company’s private expectations. More than 70% of visitors


came from outside of Germany, with the Netherlands, Italy, France, Belgium, Poland and Spain the most represented European visitor nations. According to Messe


Dusseldorf, 42% of visitors came from beyond Europe. It said that Covid quarantine regulations had reduced attendance from south-east Asia – but that the US, Brazil and India were well represented. n In next month’s issue, we will cover some of the new products that were launched during K2022. � www.k-online.de


SI Group gets deeper into recycling


At K2022, US-based SI Group launched a new range of additives for recycling under the brand name EverCycle. The move underlines a significant


transformation in the business over the past three years, according to Robert Kaiser, VP polymer solutions and MD for the EMEA region. This includes investments to expand antioxidant production – especially its Weston 705 phosphite antioxidants – at several global sites.


8 “Innovation should not be limited to


what we already have but also connected with the future and sustainability,” he said during the show. The first products in the EverCycle family include two additives for PET recycling and converting, which are claimed to enhance process stability and colour control and reduce acetal- dehyde levels. EverCycle PET-102D and PET-103D are intended for use with products including PET trays.

PET-102D is available as a pellet and PET-103D as a liquid. There are also two additives for polyolefin recycling. EverCycle PP-101S improves stabilisation in HDPE and PP rigid packaging, while lD-101S is intended for stabilisation in HDPE flexible packaging. EverCycle lD-104P targets mechanical performance issues such as gel formation in films – which create weak spots and affect clarity. � https://siigroup.com
