TAGS: Polymer Reinforcement Surface Modification Sustainability / Natural Solutions K Show 2022
Brüggemann will be presenting performance-enhancing additive innovations at K 2022. These range from electrically neutral heat stabilizers for polyamides in electrical and electronic applications, for example for e-mobility, to high-performance stabilizers for exposure to moderate to very high temperatures and additives for stabilizing recycled polyolefins.
A further focus is on efficiency-boosting flow enhancers which enable shorter cycle times and low wall thicknesses for components made of polyamides and polyesters (PBT).
Halogen-free Heat Stabilizers for Polyamides
BRUGGOLEN® TP-H2062 and
BRUGGOLEN® TP-H2217 are opening up a new class of metal- and halogen-free heat stabilizers for reinforced and unreinforced polyamides in E/E applications. They do not corrode metallic components such as over-molded sensors and have no impact on the polymer’s electrical properties.
They also enable continuous service temperatures of 170°C with peaks of 200°C, so meeting more stringent automotive industry requirements and surpassing the limits of conventional systems, such as phenol- and copper-based stabilizers. Both BRUGGOLEN® additives are available as easy-to-process masterbatches.
BRUGGOLEN® TP-H2217 is particularly suitable for heat-stabilizing halogen-free flame retardant polyamides. Thus, it is possible for compounders to produce polyamide materials specifically tailored for e-mobility which have a V-0 classification to UL94, electrical neutrality and long-lasting heat resistance at 180°C.
BRUGGOLEN® TP-H1804 is a new heat stabilizer for aliphatic polyamides used at continuous service temperatures of 160°C to 190°C. It distinctly outperforms copper salt-based stabilizers in terms of mechanical property retention of the materials to which it is added. BRUGGOLEN® TP-H1804 thus complements BRUGGOLEN® TP-H1805 and stabilizes reinforced aliphatic polyamides for continuous service at 200°C for PA6 and at 230°C for PA6.6.
Additives for Enhanced Recycled Materials
Products for recycling polyolefins will also be presented at K 2022. Using
BRUGGOLEN® TP-R2090, it is possible to recycle polypropylene from post-industrial and post-consumer waste. BRUGGOLEN® TP-R8895 is specifically suited to recycle polypropylene from battery cases. Both additives result in recycled materials of a quality which cannot be achieved by conventional re-stabilization, even at high rates of addition.
For recycling polyethylene, Brüggemann has developed
BRUGGOLEN® TP-R2162 which again includes the new repair technology and is particularly suitable for recycled LLDPE for use in film extrusion. All the stated additives are supplied in the form of compact, dust-free blends.
BRUGGOLEN® TP-P2201 is a new addition to Brüggemann’s range of flow enhancers which will be presented at K 2022 and is specifically tailored for applications in e-mobility and flame retardant polyamides.
BRUGGOLEN® TP-P1810 is particularly suitable for processing partially aromatic polyamides, while BRUGGOLEN® P1507 is optimized for aliphatic polyamides and
BRUGGOLEN® TP-P1924 for PBT. All these additives help to save energy during production while simultaneously enabling very high fiber contents for injection molded parts with long flow paths and/or low wall thicknesses.
