Ineos Styrolution Introduces New Product Portfolio for Polymer Modification

  • Well-balanced portfolio of new styrenics powder grades
  • Dedicated distribution channel

INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics, has announced today the introduction of an all-new product portfolio dedicated to polymer modification. The new product lines are addressing the need of compounders and extruders to enhance the properties of polymers and allow for improved processing. Smaller volumes of the new products are available via focused and very experienced distribution partners.

INEOS Styrolution’s new modifier line is the result of intensive testing with a range of customers and partners over the past years. The result is a thorough set of new powder grades that not only modify selected product properties to allow for new application designs.

Certain modifiers also allow for improved processing resulting for example in working at lower temperatures and with a lower energy consumption.

Modifications range from enhanced stiffness to superior long-term performance with heat exposure, better color fastness and retention, UV resistance, dimensional stability, impact resistance and more.

The styrenics based modifiers address a wide range of polymers. Compatibility and efficiency vary by polymer and have been tested for polymers including ABS[1], ASA[2], PBT[3], PC[4], PP[5], PE[6], PS[7], PVC[8], SAN[9], SBC[10], TPE[11] and TPU[12].

Agreements have been closed with specialised distribution partners Caldic B.V.[13] and Bjørn Thorsen A/S[14] to bring the new solutions to market also at lower volumes. Experts from INEOS Styrolution and its distribution partners have already started working with customers to identify the best modifier solution for a given challenge.

Dr. Alexander Glück, President Europe at INEOS Styrolution, comments: “Over the years, INEOS Styrolution has developed an extensive know-how with modifiers. All that experience has now resulted in a product portfolio that I think is second to none. The positive response from customers and partners has been very encouraging. With growing demand we are prepared to expand the portfolio further. I am particularly looking forward to the first solutions based on our ECO line of sustainable products.”

Dr. Eike Jahnke, Vice President Specialties EMEA, adds: “For many applications I expect our new modifiers to become a game changer. For example, one benefit of styrenics is its low density. Additional cost is compensated not only by the performance improvement, but also by the lower density of the modifiers in compounds or blends.”

After a positive start to the year and a strong 1st quarter, SONGWON Industrial Group recorded sound business performance across the Divisions in the 2nd quarter of 2022. Division Industrial Chemicals and Division Performance Chemicals observed high levels of demand Q2/2022 which resulted in another solid quarter with higher profitability and returns.

In line with expectations, global demand remained strong for Division Industrial Chemicals in Q2/2022 resulting in consolidated sales of 260,406 Million KRW (Q2/2021: 175,711 Million KRW) and for the first six months of the year, the Division achieved sales of 509,271 Million KRW (YTD June 2021: 339,698 Million KRW). When compared to Q2 and YTD June 2021, the result marks an increase in revenue of 48.2% and 49.9% respectively. The overall sound result was partly driven by increases in global forecasted volumes on the back of customers aiming to offset potential logistics delays and competitor-related supply issues and also positively impacted by favorable FX developments in all regions.

SONGWON’s key business Polymer Stabilizers recorded higher sales despite being negatively affected by lockdowns across Asia and the conflict between Russia and the Ukraine. Fuel and Lubricant Additives also performed strongly, benefiting from customers ordering ahead of normal patterns to counteract logistics delays. As expected, the 2nd quarter of the year was strong for Coatings due to the high demand in Europe, the US and Korea, ongoing industry recovery and the effectiveness of the implemented price increases.

Division Performance Chemicals also performed strongly in the 2nd quarter, registering a 46.0% growth in revenue (Q2/2022: 82,329 Million KRW) compared to Q2/2021 (56,380 Million KRW). YTD June 2022, the Division achieved a 171,897 Million KRW, marking a 49.6% increase in sales compared to YTD June 2021 (114,880 Million KRW). Throughout the 2nd quarter, Division Performance Chemicals also benefited from strong global demand and previously implemented price increases. Tin Intermediates sales were in line with maximum plant output and the price of tin metal rose early in the quarter but dropped back later in the quarter. During Q2/2022, high logistical costs continued to limit PVC sales outside Asia but price increases had a positive impact on profitability. Despite lower volumes, Solution Polyurethanes and Thermoplastic Polyurethanes reported an increase in revenue due to price increases. TPU sales in the wire and cable market increased on the back of the strong demand coming from EMEA, NEA and the US.

Looking forward to the 2nd half of the year and the many uncertainties such as the geopolitical risks, the volatile macroeconomic environment, inflationary pressures, logistical issues, material shortages and the ongoing pandemic, it is not possible to accurately predict what the coming months will bring. SONGWON anticipates that the current high demand for raw materials will continue in the coming months as the global situation continues to push market prices upwards. Amid the current uncertainty, SONGWON will continue closely monitoring global developments and demand levels while following its penetration strategy in key target markets. Based on its strong YTD June results, SONGWON is confident that with its solid business foundation it can continue to reliably supply customers and navigate any emerging challenges.

Instant Adhesives Upgraded With New Raw Materials and Uncompromised Performance

Instant Adhesives Upgraded With New Raw Materials and Uncompromised Performance

In response to regulatory change requirements and industry demand for safer assembly solutions, henkel has exchanged certain raw materials in selected products in its loctite® range of instant adhesives in line with these new regulatory classification requirements. Spearheaded by the introduction of the new ultra-performance cyanoacrylate adhesive, loctite 402, this initiative combines raw materials that comply with the latest regulatory requirements and the high quality and reliability synonymous with the loctite brand.

This has been achieved without compromising any of the key properties that have come to define the loctite instant adhesive range including fast fixture times, high bond strength, material versatility, and temperature resistance. And the result is a comprehensive range of instant adhesives and accelerators that will allow industry to take full advantage of the technology’s potential to simplify design, improve reliability and increase productivity while also enhancing occupational safety through a reduction of hazardous substances.

New and upgraded instant adhesives
Several instant adhesive ingredients have come under greater regulatory scrutiny in select regions of the world. Two of these are hydroquinone (hq) and 2.2’-methylenebis (4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol) – also known as mmbp – whose primary role is to ensure the adhesive remains liquid in the bottle for the duration of its shelf life.

Although these were present in very small amounts in the original formulations, responding to regulatory change requirements and industry demand, henkel developed a novel stabiliser package which has allowed hq and mmbp to be removed from the formulas for the most widely used products in its loctite instant adhesive range.

Initially six instant adhesives have been formulated without hq and mmbp, with additional product upgrades planned in the near future. Collectively they allow for the rapid bonding of a wide variety of materials including metals, plastics, elastomers, wood, paper, leather, and fabric. All are suitable for manual application or automated and robotic dispensing for which henkel offers a comprehensive selection of equipment.

Top of the range is loctite 402, a new addition to henkel’s instant adhesive portfolio. This ultra-performance, fast-setting instant adhesive provides reliable performance up to 135°c. Next is the universal instant bonder loctite 401, a medium viscosity product that provides high shear strength on a wide range of materials. And then, loctite 406, a low viscosity formulation, ideal for small bond line gaps and close-fitting assemblies.

Loctite 454 is ideal for applications calling for a non-drip instant adhesive for use on porous or vertical surfaces, and for gap-filling on various materials the range includes loctite 3090 and loctite 3092, unique two-part instant adhesives. Completing henkel’s upgraded instant adhesive offering is loctite 495, a general-purpose adhesive for the fast bonding of a wide range of materials.

Upgraded accelerators
Complementing the upgraded loctite instant adhesives are upgraded accelerators used to achieve optimal performance in specific situations such as low humidity environments or when bonding to acidic substrates. They no longer contain certain actively added chemicals that have been subject to recent safety reclassification and, as with the adhesives, this has been achieved without compromising performance.

Now available in the loctite instant component bonding range are upgraded loctite sf7452 and loctite sf7455, accelerators that can be pre- or post-applied to increase cure speed of instant adhesives.

These across-the-range upgrades provide the assurance that customers can continue to benefit from the performance advantages of loctite adhesive technology improving workplace safety by complying with the recent safety reclassification through a reduction of hazardous substances.

These belong to the “terra” family of certified products that offer like-for-like drop-in alternatives to manufacturers.

Faster charging using lower greenhouse gas-emitting flame retardants
The trend for charging at higher voltages to make charging faster is creating the need for battery and charging infrastructure materials offering higher tracking resistance and flame retardancy.

Manufacturers of high voltage connectors, busbars or battery housings can now use a new terra version of exolit op 1400, clariant’s patent-protected, widely-used halogen-free flame retardant for polyamides, to help achieve industry goals towards faster charging and lower greenhouse gas-emitting materials. Exolit op terra enables polyamide materials to pass strict fire safety standards like underwriters’ laboratories (ul) 94 v0 in combination with the comparative tracking index (cti) of 600v according to iec 60112 / astmd 3638 standards.

The ecotain certified exolit op solutions produced at clariant’s iscc plus certified site in knapsack, germany are available as mass-balance certified products. Like their fossil carbon-based counterparts, the terra grades have little impact on recyclability of the material and therefore technically support proper automotive waste management with the added benefit of reduced co2 footprint. Clariant is currently constructing a new production facility in daya bay, china, to meet rapidly growing demand from e-mobility and the e&e component and equipment industries in china and asia.

Create lightweight battery housing with sustainable flame-retarded thermoset composites
Halogen-free exolit ap flame retardants are advancing the shift from metal to low density, high strength thermoset composites to achieve significantly lighter battery housings capable of meeting the stringent fire safety standards of electric vehicles. Batteries need special protection in the event of a vehicle fire or thermal run-away of the electrical cells.

Clariant offers three grades – exolit ap 462, ap 740 and ap 742 – that enable epoxy or unsaturated polyester-based composites to comply with flame retardant standards of ece r100 and gb 38031-2020.

INEOS Styrolution’s portfolio of sustainable §ECO” materials includes Terluran ECO GP-22 MR50 and MR70, two commercially available ABS [3] grades incorporating 50% and 70% recycled content, respectively. Both grades offer performance on the same level as virgin material, thereby avoiding the need for downcycling and instead offering a drop-in solution for existing ABS applications.

In this way, the Terluran ECO MR grades are a significant step forward towards a circular economy, and a valuable tool to help customers achieve their sustainability targets.

Louie Mackee, Commercial Product Manager for Sustainable Products, says: “We are delighted to have completed the RecyClass certification for our mechanically recycled ABS grades, guaranteeing the post-consumer origin of the waste used to produce them. We recognise this as an important step towards increasing customer confidence when using materials containing recycled content, and our portfolio of sustainable ABS products is now stronger than ever. We invite customers to see a selection of applications made from our mechanically recycled Terluran ECO materials at INEOS Styrolution’s booth at the K show in Düsseldorf in October.”

Novodur ECO MR and Novodur ECO High Heat MR
Novodur specialty ABS solutions come in various colours. Consequently, also the Novodur ECO MR products are available in black and in various colours. A product for self-colouring is available as well. Mechanically recycled Novodur material is available with a 30% to 70% post-consumer mechanically recycled content. The individual grades come with a significant product carbon footprint (PCF) of up to 57%.

Nils Wittenberg, Technical Product Manager Novodur EMEA, says: “RecyClass certification is a significant step for our mechanical recycling solution. The properties for our Novodur ECO MR speak for themselves. The materials are plug-in solutions. And now, the origin of the post-consumer waste is certified as well.”
