YPAREX B.V. FIRST TO MARKET WITH BIO-BASED TIE LAYER FOR GREENER MULTILAYER PACKAGING
ENSCHEDE, THE NETHERLANDS — August 27, 2012 — Yparex B.V., headquartered here, today announced that it is the first supplier in the packaging industry to develop and commercialize an adhesive tie layer for multilayer packaging films that is bio-based (i.e. produced from plant- rather than petroleum-based raw materials). Since this tie-layer resin is derived from 95% annually renewable resources and is fully recyclable, yet meets the same performance specifications as non-renewable petroleum-based polymer of the same family, it offers packaging manufacturers the opportunity to make their products more sustainable because plant precursors sequestered greenhouse gases during their life cycle. However, it also helps protect the packaging industry’s supply chain from price spikes of materials closely tied to the cost of oil and natural gas.

La avanzada tecnología termoplástica de SABIC permite a Mahindra & Mahindra lanzar el primer guardabarros de plástico de la India
La unidad de negocios Innovative Plastics de SABIC ha anunciado hoy que el fabricante indio de automóviles Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), con el apoyo de su proveedor de primer nivel Plastic Omnium, ha desarrollado los primeros guardabarros fabricados con plástico moldeado por inyección que se podrán ver en el nuevo todoterreno XUV500, que tan buenas críticas ha recibido. El cambio de acero a la resina Noryl GTX*, que es ligera y se puede pintar en línea, ha ayudado a Mahindra & Mahindra a reducir el gasto en combustible y las emisiones, disponer de mucha más libertad a la hora de diseñarlo y mejorar la resistencia del vehículo frente a pequeños golpes. El uso de la resina Noryl GTX para los guardabarros convierte al XUV500 en uno de los todoterrenos más ligeros de su clase. Esta colaboración pone de manifiesto el compromiso de SABIC de ofrecer a los clientes del sector de la automoción termoplásticos de muy altas prestaciones, con los que se puedan crear diseños diferenciados con un grado de sostenibilidad mayor gracias a la reducción de peso.
