the processing benefits and mechanical properties of Hytrel, but at a lower impact on the environment and without processing requalification. DuPont produces Hytrel ECO B using a biomass balance approach certified by the ISCC+ standard, which is increasingly being adopted by the plastic value chain due to its cost-efficiency. It uses second-generation bio residue or waste that does not compete with food/feed resources and does not induce land use change. �

Ineos Styrolution’s Luran S ASA materials, a family of products for demanding applications, is now available as Luran S ECO with up to 50% bio-attrib- uted content. Luran S is particularly known for use in outdoor applications where its UV resistance makes it the ideal material for a range of applications in the toys, sports and leisure industries. The longevity resulting from its UV resistance can be considered a vital step towards being a truly sustainable product, it says, with the new Luran S ECO B offering up to 58% carbon footprint reduction when compared to respective fossil-based products, depending on the selected Luran S grade. �

Kraiburg TPE will be bringing a broad and varied selection of TPE sustainability solutions to K2022. Institute Cyclos-HTP, an independent company specialising in assessment, has successfully tested and certified the compatibility of selected TPS materials in the recycling stream for HDPEs and PPs. With a proportion of post-industrial recycled materials ranging from 20% to 40%, the series meets requirements for OEM’s automotive exteriors. With a proportion of recycled material of up to
38%, new product solution Interior PIR TPE contrib- utes to meeting recycling quotas. Universal PCR TPE is tailored to meet the requirements for many consumer and industry applications and allows a portion of up to 41% post-consumer recyclate. �

42 INJECTION WORLD | September 2022
Lanxess is exhibiting at K2022 under the “Quality Works” motto, with a focus on electromobility and sustainability. The High Performance Materials business unit will present new Tepex composites based on recyclates or bio-based raw materials. One example here is Tepex dynalite Scopeblue 813, which has just been launched on the market and is produced from flax fibres and PLA. Also on show will be a Tepex Dynalite with a polyamide 6 matrix that is produced starting from “green” cyclohexane and therefore consists of well over 80% sustainable raw materials. Another focus is on tailored solutions for the
increased requirements in electric vehicles, for example in the powertrain or charging infrastruc- ture. Lanxess has developed a new halogen-free flame-retardant and hydrolysis-stabilised PBT compound for EV high-voltage connectors. The group’s Polymer Additives and Inorganic
Pigments business units offer the plastics industry high-performance, sustainable colorants for direct coloration. The business units will present their product ranges for the energy-efficient production of coloured plastic goods, which eliminate the need for subsequent coating and thus avoid reworking. In electromobility, for example, Mac- rolex Orange HT has comprehensive properties that meet the high safety and performance requirements for electric cars. These include excellent heat stability, improved sublimation resistance as well as high migration stability, colour strength and light fastness. �

Lehvoss Group will present its range of high-per- formance materials at K2022 as part of a wide- ranging exhibition program, which will include the Luvotech Eco product line. Based on Lehvoss ecX technology, the product uses raw materials from mechanical recycling and as a further contribution to sustainability, is manufactured using 100% green electricity from a certified supplier. The exhibition program will also include:
