properties and low moisture absorption. It is a preferred material, according to Eurotec, due to a balance of good fatigue resistance with long term UV stability. In these applications, Tecodur PBTeco material which incorporates recycled PET from consumer bottles can also be used as a sustainable material solution. Kraiburg TPE is expanding its portfolio to include post-industrial recycled TPE compounds for sustainable automotive interior applications. The waste material is derived from other compa- nies’ manufacturing processes for plastic products. With a recycling content of up to 38%, Kraiburg TPE’s Interior PIR TPE provides good abrasion resistance and excellent flowability combined with low density to keep the part weight at a minimum. Possible applications include anti-slip mats, floor mats, soft components in cup holders as well as fixation elements. The product series is also suitable for applications requiring a hardness range between 60 and 90 Shore A. The material can fulfill strict OEM requirements for emission and odour. Interior PIR TPE can be combined with PP in co-injection moulding applications or used as a single soft component solution.
The company also said it is now able to provide
the product carbon footprint (PCF) of compounds for many products, which gives a competitive advantage to customers who require this value to assess the carbon footprint of their components and ultimately of the whole vehicle. The PCF quantifies the CO2 footprint and is calculated according to DIN EN ISO 14067 principles, require- ments, and guidelines to measure the carbon footprint based on a cradle-to-gate concept, and DIN EN ISO 14044 principles to determine the environmental management or lifecycle assessment of a product, following greenhouse gas protocols.
