Hexpol TPE says its motto at K2019 is “Soft Safe Sustainable” reflecting what the company does and the products it makes, plus how it does it in a sustainable manner. At the show, it will present new products designed to meet increasing demands for product safety and sustainability, with applica- tions from the consumer, toy, automotive, construc- tion and medical markets. Hexpol TPE’s product innovations include: Dryflex Green soft plastics from bio-sources, Dryflex Circular TPE compounds with recycled content and Dryflex Interior TPEs that minimise emissions from VOCs for automotive interior applications. �

Huntsman will introduce a range of polyurethane- based 3D print material systems aimed at prototyp- ing and custom production applications in the footwear and sports and leisure sectors. The Iroprint materials are soft, flexible formulations available in systems suitable for all three main 3D print tech- nologies – sterolithography (SLA), high speed sintering (HSS) and fused filament fabrication (FFF). �

Ineos Styrolution said a major theme for the styrenics produer at K2019 will be demonstrating the recyclability of polystyrene. The company has a number of projects involving both chemical and mechanical recycling of PS. Its work in depolymeri- sation led the company to announce in April it had produced lab-scale quantities of general purpose PS from 100% recycled styrene monomer.
At K2019 Ineos Styrolu- tion will show at least two grades of Terluran ABS with 20-30% recycled ABS content, said executives at a pre-K media event in June. Other new products will include a high-flow ABS material for thin wall applica- tions and appliances including vacuum cleaners. �

Kraiburg TPE will place the main focus of its display on low emission thermoplastic elastomers. Two new compound series will be shown for applications where low migration is a top priority, such as valves and seals for closures for food and beverage applications coming into direct contact with fat. The company will also present examples from its ultra-low VOC emission range of TPEs for interior automotive use, as well as its custom-engineered thermoplastic hybrid products, which offer enhanced chemical and thermal resistance and are claimed to close the gap between TPEs and traditional elasto- mers. It will also introduce a line of UV-resistant TPEs for exterior automotive applications that provide adhesion to ASA, PMMA and EPDM. �

Lanxess said its High Performance Materials (HPM) business unit will be presenting a wide range of new PA and polyester products relating to electric mobility. New HPM materials include orange, heat-stabilised Durethan PA and Pocan PBT compounds for high-voltage applications. These include materials that prevent electrical corrosion upon contact with live metal parts, plus and halogen- free FR materials for components such as battery cell holders and
cover plates. On display will be a durable seat shell and a highly integrated front-end carrier made from Tepex, the
group’s composites technology, both of which exhibit an “excellent crash resistance,” said Lanxess. For connectors and switches in smart home
