FAKUMA 2018 – MATERIALS | SHOW PREVIEW


Agrana Starke will present its Amitroplast thermo- plastic starch (TPS). Suitable for injection and blow moulding and extrusion, the company claims that the biodegradable Amitroplast TPS can be added to compounds at 50% higher loadings than alternatives without compromising processability. It says compounds containing the materials also generate less smoke during processing and particularly in production of blown films. � www.agrana.com

Akro-Plastic will be showing the first in its new Akromid B+ PA6 family of compounds, which are intended as alternatives to PA66 materials. The first grade in the range is a 50% glass reinforced compound claimed to provide the same strength at 80°C as a condi- tioned PA66 GF50 (115 MPa breaking stress) and near the same levels of stiffness. “Our new polymer-modified PA6 grade is priced between PA66 and PA6 and thereby opens up considerable savings potential,” says Thilo Stier, Head of Innovation and Sales at the company. “We will be presenting the first components made of the new material and complemented material values such as ageing and conditioning to trade fair visitors at our stand.” The company says 30 to 50 % glass fibre

reinforced Akromid B+ compounds are already available for sampling, with a grade with 60% glass fibres to follow shortly.


Other novelties include a new addition to its


Akromid PST range of PA compounds for adhesion to metal during overmoulding. Developed in partnership with Plasmatreat, the product line now includes a grade formulated to adhere to alumini- um. “In some aluminium variants, tensile shear tests result in breakage in the aluminium and not in the adhesive surface,” says Cyprian Golebiewski, Akro Plastic Head of Application Technology. Also new is Akromid A3 GF 30 4 L black (4678), a new hydrolysis-stabilised PA66/PP blend offering very good mechanical properties and hydrolysis resistance. The company says the proportion of PA66 is reduced in this new grade, providing an additional weight advantage. � www.akro-plastic.com


Albis Plastic will be showing a number of new introductions to its own product portfolio as well as the latest developments from prinicpals such as Covestro and BASF.


Its own novelties will be headed up by its www.injectionworld.com


expanded Alco Med range of compounds for medical applications, a new addition to its Alcom Lighting range for high gloss automotive applica- tions, and new high flow additions to its Alfater XL line of TPVs. The latter “Easyflow” grades are high gloss black products available in hardnesses from Shore A50 to D40. Following its recent acquisition of Wipag, the company will also be showing an expand- ed range of recycled compounds. These include carbon reinforced PP grades intended to compete with glass reinforced PA as well as a new PET/PBT blend addition to its Altech Eco family. � www.albis.com


Ampacet will exhibit a number of new products aimed at improving the quality


of recycled plastics in terms of odour and colour. Odor Scavenger 1000258-E is a wide spectrum odour absorbing masterbatch suitable for neutral- ising odours in post-consumer recyclates, allowing usage at higher percentages without sacrificing end-product quality. REC-O-BLACK 216 is a black masterbatch produced from carbon black pigment recovered from post-consumer recycling of rubber products such as tyres in a PCR PE carrier resin. Blue Edge 78 (7600078-E) masterbatch counter- acts the yellow/brown tint in post-consumer recycled PET, providing a lighter bluish tone that is more appealing to the customer’s eye. Ampacet will also show its Biorange master-


batches for use with compostable bioplastics and biodegradable resins. All products in the range are compatible with compostable polymers and comply with the EN 13432 composting standard. � www.ampacet.com


Arkema is showing products from its wide-ranging specialty polymers portfolio. These include its Kynar PVDF family and Rilsan and Pebax high performance polyamides ranges. The company says these advanced polymers meet the highest technical requirements of various applications in the chemical, automotive, sports and consumer goods markets. Its Altuglas PMMA resins target applications in the major transport trends, such as e-mobility and give home appliance and lighting designers the opportunity to combine greater crea- tive freedom with a high level of technicality. � www.arkema.com
