EVENT PREVIEW | FAKUMA 2021 – MATERIALS


Above: Rowasol will be demonstrating its liquid colorant


technologies


Mocom Mocom, the former compounding division of Albis that was set up as a standalone business in 2020, exhibits for the first time in Friedrichshafen with a display that includes new introductions for the lighting market as well as additional grades containing recycled content. Its Altech PP ECO portfolio of compounds is based on 100% post- consumer recyclate and its Alfater XL ECO portfolio of TPVs is based entirely on PP recyclate and renewable EPDM. Aimed at the e-mobility sector, the company will also present the latest recyclate- based Altech flame retardant grades for drive components and battery charging infrastructure. � www.mocom.com


Polykemi


Swedish compounder Polykemi has developed a simulation tool that allows it to provide cradle-to- gate carbon footprint data to customers for any of its materials. In 2020, Polykemi conducted a scientific study which demonstrated that the choice of material has a significant part to play in the fight against climate change and assists customers in making smart material choices. It said the simulation tool enables customers to assess the environmental footprint of the components they produce. It can help customers select optimal alternatives in terms of their requirements, costs and climate performance. � www.polykemi.com


Right: Tosaf will show its latest offerings for the


e-mobility sector


Rowa Group Rowa Group company Romira has expanded its compound product portfolio to include PPS grades, which will be marketed under the Romitron name. Offered with glass fibre reinforcement or mineral fillers, Romitorn PPS offers long term service at 210°C together with low moisture absorption and good chemical resistance. Rowa Masterbatch will show its Rowalid-IR


polymer-specific solution for NIR sorting of black plastics. It now supports this product line with an NIR measurement service that allows reflectance of formulations to be checked and measured spectra provided to customers allowing them to assess whether the desired colour setting is detectable.


42 INJECTION WORLD | October 2021 www.injectionworld.com


Tosaf In the recycling area, Tosaf says it has developed a series of masterbatches that are formulated to cover the inconsistencies in base colour of post- consumer recyclates. It has also developed a range of additive masterbatches in PLA or rosin carriers that can be used to provide UV stability, antifog or IR filtering in biodegradable applications. For the e-mobility sector, Tosaf now offers an


RAL 2003 masterbatch suitable for PA6 and PA66, PP, and PBT. The PA masterbatches have been successfully tested at 130°C for 1000 hours without darkening; all grades are available with or without a laser marking additive for identification purposes. � www.tosaf.com


Where NIR detection proves difficult with its existing products, the company can offer alterna- tive NIR detectable products. Meanwhile, group company Rowasol will be demonstrating the effectiveness of its liquid colorants in a special demonstration on an Arburg Allrounder injection moulding machine fitted with an HNP Microsystem precision gear dosing pump. The annular gear pump doses 0.5g of red, yellow, green or blue liquid colorant into each 12.5g shot. � www.rowa-group.com
