Perstorp strengthens its sustainable offerings with 100% renewable based 2-Ethylhexanol
Leading specialty chemicals innovator Perstorp has launched a new grade of 2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH), now available with 100% renewable, traceable mass-balanced carbon content. When including the biogenic CO2 uptake[1] absorbed by the renewable raw materials used, the product has a negative carbon footprint cradle to Perstorp gate. Developed based on both physical and chemical traceability, 2-EH Pro 100 is designed to minimize the carbon footprint[2] throughout the value chain, while supporting sustainable sourcing of renewable and recycled raw materials.

Non-cross-linking TPEs for cold, warm and hot water
KRAIBURG TPE is about to launch an innovative new technology: Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for applications in the drinking water and sanitary industry that are in compliance with the strict KTW-BWGL standard, which will become binding for TPEs from March 2025 as well. These outstanding compounds are intended to be used for seals, sealings and components such as showerheads and meet all relevant requirements in the European Union for final products that come into contact with cold water, warm water and, for the first time, hot water.
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today launched a new portfolio of 10 LNP™ ELCRIN™ copolymer resins that can reduce carbon footprint while delivering desirable performance properties and aesthetics. Adopting these polycarbonate (PC)-based copolymer materials, which contain up to 75 percent certified post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, can help customers advance their sustainability initiatives without sacrificing key attributes. Compared to competitive impact-modified PC resins containing PCR content, which can have performance limitations, the new LNP copolymer resins deliver high performance across the board. Depending on the grade, they may provide low-temperature ductility, chemical and weathering resistance, good flow for easy processing, transparency, a broad color space, UV stability and thin-wall flame retardance (FR) meeting the UL94 V-0 rating at 0.6mm.
KRAIBURG TPE is presenting thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that have a variable proportion of renewable raw materials. By introducing these new compounds, the global TPE manufacturer is expanding its THERMOLAST® R range of more sustainable solutions by adding a line of products from renewable raw material sources. Bio-based TPEs also have a lower product carbon footprint than established alternatives that are not based on renewable raw materials.
Leading engineered materials provider DOMO is presenting groundbreaking polyamide solutions at Fakuma 2023 (Hall B4, Stand 4216). DOMO’s globally renowned TECHNYL® brand celebrates 70 years of innovation in flame and temperature resistance, light-weighting, as well as sustainable polyamide solutions at the booth.
Solvay, a global market leader in specialty materials, has expanded its range of FusePly® chemical bonding technology with a second product, FusePly® 250, designed to bond composite structures at 250°F and higher. The new product complements the previous FusePly® 100 grade, introduced in 2018 which has now been renamed FusePly® 350 to reflect its compatibility with 350°F cure film adhesives. Both grades offer step-change bonding performance and durability and can easily be integrated into existing manufacturing processes as an upgrade for traditional surface preparation methods.
