the performance of recycled plastics so they can be used in more demanding applications again and again,” says Irfaan Foster, SI Group Market Devel- opment Director. The company will also present the latest additions to its additive portfolio. These include new masterbatch grades of Weston 705 liquid antioxidant and Ultranox LC stabilisers. �

Sikora will demonstrate a novel version of its Purity Scanner Advanced online pellet inspection system in Dusseldorf that uses three 25 µm high-resolution black-and-white cameras to lift detection rates. The company says that most systems on the
market use a maximum of two optical cameras but these can quickly reach their limits due to relatively low coverage once the contamination is outside of the cameras’ field of view. “By using a third black- and-white camera in the Purity Scanner Advanced, a significantly higher detection rate is achieved, so that more contaminants are detected – this is unique with our system,” says Ralf Kulenkampff, Head of Sales – Plastics. The Purity Scanner Advanced system automati-
cally sorts out detected contamination via a blow-out unit. Systems can be specified with

Wacker will present a new addition to its Geni- oplast line of performance additives as well as more Elastosil LSR products offering new applica- tion potential and sustainability benefits. The Genioplast PE50S08 masterbatch is intended to improve the processing and surface finish of moulded or extruded PE resins, including com- pounded and recycled materials. The pelletised additive comprises a non-reactive, ultra-high-mo- lecular polydimethylsiloxane in a low-density PE carrier. The silicone content is 50%. According to the company, PE50S08 is a highly
effective processing aid that improves filler distribution in filled formulations and enhances the flow properties of the polymer melt. It claims this increases throughput and reduces the energy needed for compounding. Where mixtures of different PE grades are compounded – as is the case in the processing of recycled polyethylene – it is said to ensure uniform mixing without major torque or temperature fluctuations. Wacker says that PE recycling is one of the new additive’s key application areas. �
