EXHIBITION PREVIEW | K2022 MATERIALS
choice of raw materials and the manufacturing process itself,” says Performance Materials Presi- dent Dr Martin Jung. At K, the company will show how it can support customers in tracking and reducing product carbon footprint, such as the use of renewable or recycled feedstocks. The Recycle phase focuses on end-of-life. “To achieve a circular economy, we need to get much better at the recycling of plastics to close the loop,” Jung says. He cites the company’s TrinamiX subsidiary, which is improving plastic sorting and identification using its mobile near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy solutions, while its IrgaCycle range of additives improve mechanical recycling. �

Benvic, which is well known for its PVC compounds, is using its third K showing to underline its expansion into production of technical PVC and polyolefin compounds and sustainable materials. The company will present its range of recycled and bio-based compounds. Benvic’s French subsidiary Ereplast offers a number of solutions in recycled PVC. Meanwhile, the company’s Plantura product lines include bio-based and/or compostable polymers. �

Brüggemann will be presenting several perfor- mance-enhancing additive innovations at K2022, ranging from electrically neutral heat stabilisers for PAs used in in electrical and electronic applications to high-performance stabilisers for very high temperatures and additives for stabilising recycled polyolefins. A further focus will be its efficiency- boosting flow enhancers, which enable shorter
cycle times and low wall thicknesses for PBT components. The company’s TP-R2090 additive is intended to
improve recycled PP compounds derived from post-industrial and post-consumer waste while TP-R8895 is specifically suited to recycling polypro- pylene from battery cases. Both result in recycled materials with a level of heat stability that cannot be achieved by conventional options, according to the company.
Brüggemann has developedTP-R2162 for
recycling PE. It uses a new “repair technology” and is said to be particularly suitable for recycled LLDPE used in film extrusion. �

Clariant, together with Siegwerk, Borealis, and Beiersdorf, will use K2022 to outline its role in the ‘Design4Circularity’ initiative aimed at creating fully-recyclable packaging offering high-quality visuals and distinctive shapes. The brief was to develop a packaging solution
that creates a cleaner input waste stream that can loop back into high-value applications. It centres on a colourless polyolefin bottle with 100% PCR content and a printed deinkable shrink sleeve. Clariant’s role is to develop the additives to protect PCR quality. �

ExxonMobil is showing its sustainable solutions at the stands of partners involved in machine manu- facturing and materials distribution. It says these include additives that enable mechanically recy- cled content to be incorporated, and even in-
With our innovative recycling and processing technologies, even the most heavily contaminated polymer waste can be recycled. But not simply recycled: reprocessed to consistently high quality products for demanding applications, even after repeated processing cycles.
