Bieglo will display a range of high temperature PEEK compounds, including a full range carrying FDA and EU food contact approvals. With its resistance to alkaline cleaning products and high temperature steam cleaning, PEEK is a popular choice for food processing machinery applications. Bieglo offers self-lubricating versions for bearings and gears, as well as coloured and detectable grades. The company can also offer PPSU options for food processing. These grades are translucent, sterilisable and can withstand continuous operat- ing temperatures of up to 160°C. �

Borealis is introducing a new plastics recycling technology, Borcycle, and at K will show the first compound made of recycled polyolefins that has been developed with the technology. Borcycle MF1981SY is a 10% talc-filled compound with more than 80% recycled content and is intended for use in visible appliance parts. It offers an ideal balance between stiffness and impact, according to Borealis. The group is also showing recycled grades in its established Purpolen range. Purpolen PP Y40 is a material with higher and improved flowability, aimed at pails, thin-wall packaging and appliance parts. Design for recycling is a related focus on the Borealis K2019 stand. In this context, it will show
how Daploy HMS PP can be used to replace current difficult-to-recycle food service cups. Borealis is the exclusive materials development partner for UK-based Bockatech, which has developed EcoCore foaming technology for moulding PP cups that can be reused many times and are then recyclable in PP packaging waste streams (see Injection World’s March 2019 issue). Borouge will be sharing the K2019 stand with
Borealis and will have “new energy vehicles” as a focus. The company said Fibremod CB201SY, a carbon fibre reinforced PP, was selected to produce the centre console carrier of the ES8 SUV made by Chinese car maker NIO because of the com- pound’s stiffness, strength and weight reduction. Borouge intends to show the part on the K2019 stand. �
