SABIC to Debut at Innotrans a New EN45545 Rail-Compliant Additive Manufacturing Solution to Help Advance the Transportation Industry

SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, will introduce at InnoTrans 2022 in Berlin, Germany, LNP Thermocomp AM DC0041XA51 compound, a novel carbon fiber-reinforced, flame-retardant (FR) compound well-suited for pellet-fed additive manufacturing (PFAM) that complies with E.U. and U.S. rail fire safety standards. The innovative new compound can help the rail industry advance from building traditional tools for part production from thermosets to utilizing on demand 3D printing which can potentially lower system costs by reducing inventory levels of large tools and replacement parts.

At InnoTrans, September 20-23, in Hall 5.1, booth #332, SABIC will be exhibiting a large front-hatch part printed by CAF, a leading multinational supplier of comprehensive transit solutions for major railway networks, using LNP Thermocomp AM DC0041XA51 compound. CAF chose the new compound to print large replacement parts quickly, with the goal of minimizing lead times and inventory.

“With our increased focus on 3D printing, we were looking for a material that complies with the stringent safety requirements set forth in international standards like NFPA 130 or EN45545,” said Lucas Esteban, operational manager from Digital Manufacturing, CAF. “SABIC’s LNP Thermocomp AM DC0041XA51 compound has unique features that fit well with industry requirements, including the appropriate railway certificates. Its non-halogenated flame-retardant system addresses current sustainability trends, and its carbon fiber reinforcement and favorable processing allow us to make larger part geometries with sufficient stiffness and limited warpage. This breakthrough material is an ideal solution for CAF and the entire transportation industry.”

Complying with Global Rail Safety Standards
The new LNP Thermocomp AM DC0041XA51 compound is well-suited for printing large or medium-size rail components using PFAM. This compound is one of the first PFAM-capable materials to comply with requirements of the harmonized European EN45545 standard (R1 Hazard Level 3) and the U.S. NFPA-130 standard for interior and exterior parts. The product has been certified compliant with both standards by an independent laboratory.

Combining SABIC’s proprietary copolymer resin with additive and reinforcement technology, SABIC experts developed a solution that meets the challenging requirements of these standards, which place strict limits on smoke density and toxicity, heat release and flame spread.

Optimizing PFAM
The new material offers important performance advantages for printing large parts using PFAM. Firstly, LNP Thermocomp AM DC0041XA51 compound maintains its structural integrity during printing and delivers good dimensional stability with low warpage for the finished part. From a processing standpoint, LNP Thermocomp AM DC0041XA51 compound may eliminate the need for additional investment since the product facilitates high printing speeds at relatively moderate temperatures. Potential applications include exterior parts such as bumpers as well as interior cladding components such as side panels, partition walls and ducts, and seating backs and shells.

“SABIC is a leader in pellet-fed additive manufacturing materials, and we continue to innovate with specialized solutions that address specific vertical industry challenges,” said Luc Govaerts, director, Formulation & Application Development, Specialties Business, SABIC. “We developed our newest LNP Thermocomp AM compound to offer the rail industry a regulation-compliant solution that can be used for on-demand printing of large, complex exterior and interior parts in relatively small build numbers. Pellet fed additive manufacturing avoids the time and costs of creating tooling, helps reduce inventory and offers expanded design freedom. Our successful collaboration with CAF demonstrates the value of all these factors, and we believe many other rail manufacturers can benefit from adopting PFAM and our materials.”

Improving on Competitive Materials
Few thermoplastic compounds can simultaneously meet EN45545 and NFPA 130 standards and work successfully in PFAM systems. High-temperature materials such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK) address stringent fire safety requirements but do not process as easily as the new carbon-filled compound using additive manufacturing.

Compared to thermosets formulated with halogen-based FR additives, SABIC’s new LNP Thermocomp AM DC0041XA51 compound provides expanded design flexibility, facilitates recycling and offers a non-halogenated FR solution.

ALPLA and PTT Global Chemical Realise Thailand’s Largest Plastics Recycling Plant Equipped With State-of-the-art Technology

Start of production at the Envicco joint venture in Rayong province

Following 18 months of construction and installation, the ALPLA Group and PTT Global Chemical are opening the state-of-the-art Envicco recycling plant in Thailand. With an annual production capacity of 45,000 tonnes of recycled Pet and HDPE, it is one of the largest recycling plants for these plastics in Asia. With this plant, the two companies will strengthen the region’s circular economy and supply the growing markets with high-quality recycled material.

Thirty thousand tonnes of recycled, food-grade Pet and 15,000 tonnes of recycled HDPE – the packaging and recycling specialist ALPLA and the chemical company PTT Global Chemical (GC) have realised Thailand’s largest plastics recycling plant of its kind. After around 18 months of construction, production is set to start at the Envicco joint venture. Located in an economic zone on the coast of the south-eastern province of Rayong, the plant is equipped with the latest recycling technology and production lines to manufacture high-quality plastic recyclates with approval from the USFDA.

‘Built in record time thanks to the excellent collaboration with GC, this highly modern plant is an important part of our recycling activities in Asia,’ said ALPLA Chairman Günther Lehner during the grand opening on 13 September. The opening was also attended, among others, by Kongkrapan Intarajang (Chief Executive Officer and President, GC), Dietmar Marin (ALPLA Managing Director Recycling) and Bernd Wachter (ALPLA Corporate Director Circular Economy & Recycling Asia).

‘Demand for recycled, sustainable packaging materials is rising sharply in Southeast Asia, and high-quality plastics have a key role to play here. With this new plant, we are now applying our many years of expertise in the treatment and processing of packaging made from post-consumer recycled resins in Thailand,’ explains Bernd Wachter. ‘This joint venture is a truly circular, eco-friendly project creating a comprehensive value chain for plastics in Thailand and is an excellent example of the worldwide use of Austrian green tech know-how,’ adds Georg Weingartner, the Austrian Commercial Counsellor in Bangkok.

Successful partnership
ALPLA contributes more than 25 years of recycling experience to the joint venture. It will supply its production facilities in Asia with recycled material and is also fostering the circular economy at the local level. With the plant, majority shareholder GC supports sustainable development in the region, moving it towards resource-conserving business and lifestyles.

‘Today, GC is proud to reveal that Envicco is ready for commercial operation. Used plastics within the Kingdom of Thailand will make up 100% of the raw materials processed by Envicco’s cutting-edge production technologies to transform used plastics into valuable products,’ says Kongkrapan Intarajang. ‘The Envicco production plant is part of our long-term circular economy strategy to fully realize GC’s value chain. It also has the added benefit of creating jobs within the community while simultaneously aligning with the Thai government’s Bio-Circular-Green Economy Model.’ The Envicco team will comprise approximately 180 employees at the start of production.

Significant expansion potential
The 30,000-square-metre plant is on a plot of land measuring a good 90,000 square metres at the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate. There is, therefore, also space for future capacity expansions. ‘We have long-term plans to promote the bottle-to-bottle cycle not only here in Thailand, but across Asia and other regions around the world. Carbon emissions and waste can be reduced through optimised resource consumption,’ emphasises Dietmar Marin.

Global expansion of recycling activities
In early 2021, the ALPLA Group announced that it would invest an average of 50 million euros a year until 2025 in the ongoing expansion of its recycling activities. In particular, it plans to globalise its activities in the area of high-quality recyclates to close the materials cycle in as many regions as possible. In total, the annual production capacity of ALPLA’s recycling companies and cooperations around the world amounts to approximately 203,000 tonnes of rPet (recycled Pet) and 74,000 tonnes of rHDPE (recycled HDPE).

Dow and Mura Technology Plan to Locate Europe’s Largest Advanced Recycling Facility at Dow’s Site in Böhlen, Germany

  • Facility expected to be the largest of its kind to date in Europe, and the first of its kind in Germany
  • Part of a goal for multiple planned units across Europe and U.S. to add as much as 600 KTA of advanced recycling capacity by 2030, enabling greater supply of recycled plastic content to major brands across the globe
  • Mura’s Hydro PRS advanced recycling process is unique, as it uses supercritical steam to convert most forms of plastics, which have previously been deemed ‘unrecyclable’
  • Represents a key contribution to Dow’s climate and circularity target to enable 1 million metric tons of plastic to be collected, reused or recycled by 2030
  • Dow’s support of Mura Technology enables Mura to build on its multi-year pipeline of planned projects, the first of which will be sited in Teesside, U.K. and is on track to be fully operational in 2023

Dow (NYSE: Dow), the world’s leading materials science company, and Mura Technology, the global pioneer of an advanced plastic recycling solution, today announce the next step in their ongoing collaboration to help solve the global plastics waste issue and advance circularity. Mura plans to construct a new facility at Dow’s Böhlen site in Germany – the latest in a series of planned facilities across the U.S. and Europe to rapidly scale advanced recycling of plastics – and the first expected to be based at a Dow site. This project is targeted for a final investment decision by the end of 2023.

Mura’s new Böhlen facility in Germany, which is expected to be operational by 2025, would deliver approximately 120 kilotons per annum (KTA) of advanced recycling capacity at full run-rate. This and the other planned units expected to be constructed across Europe and the U.S. would collectively add as much as 600KTA of advanced recycling capacity by 2030 – and position Dow to become the largest consumer of circular feedstock for polyethylene production globally.

“The continuation and growth of Dow and Mura’s collaboration is another example of how Dow is working strategically to expand and build momentum around securing circular feedstocks and supporting breakthrough advanced recycling technologies,” said Isam Shomaly, Dow business vice president for Feedstocks and Commodities.

“We continue to increase Dow’s capacity to use recycled content as feedstock, and continue to invest in the most effective technology available to enable our circular business model for plastics,” said Diego Donoso, president of Dow Packaging & Specialty Plastics. “The diversification of our feedstock slate and decarbonization of our assets will enable the achievement of Dow’s goal of a sustainable, low-carbon future, and meet strong and growing customer demand for circular polymers. This will be a significant step forward to decrease our dependency on virgin fossil-based feedstocks.”

The planned facility builds on Dow’s ongoing collaboration with Mura, first announced in 2021, with an initial project to construct the world’s first plant using Mura’s Hydro PRS process, located in Teesside, UK, which is expected be operational in 2023 with an initial 20KTA production line. The Böhlen, Germany, site, expected to be co-located with Dow’s manufacturing facilities, would enable a significantly larger capacity for plastic waste and considerably increase the supply of fully circular feedstock to the industry. This circular feed, derived from plastic waste currently destined for incineration or landfill, would reduce reliance on virgin fossil-based feedstocks and would enable Dow to produce a recycled plastic which is in high demand from global brands, particularly for high-end sensitive markets like food and medical applications.

Dow aims to take advantage of co-location benefits, which could significantly reduce the cost of scaling advance recycling facilities. In addition, co-location of Mura’s facilities at Dow locations would be expected to reduce carbon emissions by minimizing transportation of the offtake and as gas output from the advanced recycling process can be converted back to plastics, thereby ensuring no by-products go to waste.

Steve Mahon, chief executive officer at Mura Technology, said, “Combating the global plastics crisis requires innovative solutions which can drive a circular economy. Mura’s collaboration with Dow has led to the largest commitment across the industry to date, showcasing the urgency from industry leaders to adopt scalable solutions such as Hydro PRS that will transform the plastics industry worldwide. Dow’s continued support for Mura Technology has led to a highly financeable commercial arrangement and the deepening collaboration will allow both companies to achieve their stated ambitions in the advanced recycling space.

“Dow’s commitments to accelerating a global circular plastics economy is exemplified through deploying Hydro PRSTM at the newest advanced recycling facility in Germany, which will enable us to dramatically increase recycling capacity. Through our collaboration and Dow’s extensive global reach, we can accelerate the pace and scale at which a circular plastics economy becomes a reality worldwide.”

Mura’s Hydro PRS (Hydrothermal Plastic Recycling Solution) advanced recycling process is unique, as it uses supercritical steam to convert most forms of plastics – including flexible and multi-layer plastics, which have previously been deemed ‘unrecyclable’ – back into the original oils and chemicals from which they were made. These can then be used to create new, virgin-equivalent plastic products which are even suitable for food contact packaging.

With Mura’s process, the same material can be recycled repeatedly, meaning it has the potential to eliminate single use plastic and prevent it from going to landfill or being incinerated. This has additional carbon benefits, with advanced recycling processes expected to save approximately 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide per ton of plastic recycled, compared to incineration and reducing reliance on fossil-based feedstocks.

Xeikon Installs CX300 Digital Printing System at Koehler Etiketten

This label printer with a rich tradition is making the investment based on increasing order volumes and changing market conditions

Reducing gaps in production capacity and ever decreasing lead times were the key driving factors for Rudolf Koehler Etiketten GmbH (www.koehler-etiketten.com) to invest in a Xeikon CX300 digital printing system. The system was installed in June 2022 to complement a Xeikon CX3, which has been delivering excellent results for the last six years. “We have seen a significant need for expansion over the last three years, particularly during the pandemic, when the supply chains in the packaging industry were broken, resulting in increased demand for labels as an alternative medium,” explains Michael Markus, Managing Director at Koehler Etiketten.

The existing Xeikon CX3 was operating at such intense levels, that it was time to act. In addition, up to a further five machines for producing and finishing labels needed to be utilised. Another deciding factor to acquire a further Xeikon digital press were the ever shorter lead times customers were demanding. “We urgently needed additional capacity to avoid having to change the web widths and substrates every day on a single Xeikon press," says Markus.

Several factors contributed to that press being another Xeikon machine. Firstly, operators are already familiar with the manufacturer’s dry toner technology. Secondly, the dry toner concept is ideally suited for food labels, which is a mainstay of Koehler’s label business. Another benefit is the huge variety of substrates the Xeikon press is able to handle without the need for any special surface treatment, as is the case in inkjet printing, for instance. Last but not least, Markus points to Xeikon’s pricing structure as a decisive factor: “The absence of click charges enables us to decide on the use of consumables ourselves, which was a key driver in our decision to purchase our first Xeikon press.”

From short runs to millions of copies

The Xeikon CX300 is a full-colour printing system including opaque white in a single pass. It comes with a food-safe toner, reaches a maximum speed of 30 m/min and achieves a high-quality image with a resolution of up to 1,200 dpi. Koehler Etiketten uses the press for jobs ranging from 300 to millions of units in a wide variety of formats. This includes high-quality sleeves for shipping in a 320 x 500 mm format and customised mini labels with consecutive barcodes, for instance. Koehler Etiketten chose VariOne, the AI-inspired software solution from Xeikon, enabling the company to print 100,000 labels or more with a different background in a single batch.

In addition to white ink, which comes with the Xeikon CX300 press as standard, Koehler was also impressed with the possibilities of printing with metallic tones. As a result, silver was installed with the new press and is being used for premium labels for the cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors. In particular during the current paper shortage, Koehler Etiketten is harnessing the high printing quality of the Xeikon CX300 press, purchasing grass paper as a partial substrate substitute. By applying Xeikon white ink underneath the printed images, such as text or free spaces, the fact that the paper used isn’t white is hardly noticeable at all, enabling Koehler to maintain its ability to supply its customers, particularly in the food sector.

From self-adhesive to modern labels

Koehler Etiketten was founded by Rudolf Koehler in 1939. The company has been producing self-adhesive labels using traditional book printing, flexo, screen printing (both rotary and flat) as well as modern digital printing ever since. In 2005, Michael Markus took over as Managing Director from the founder’s daughter, now running the business alongside his wife and son. With its 20 staff members, the company achieves an annual turnover of around 3 million euros. Its core business activities include labels for food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and chemical products. Koehler Etiketten is DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 certified, meeting all required standards for the pharmaceutical and food industries. With a renowned customer base from the EU, Switzerland and England, the majority of labels is delivered within Germany, including to pharma giant Bayer.

Ascend Bringing New Materials to Battery Show

At The Battery Show North America, Ascend Performance Materials will feature its new flame-retardant nylons for EV safety applications and its Trinohex Ultra electrolyte additive, which improves lithium-ion battery safety, extends cycle life and boosts performance.

Safer, higher-performance battery chemistry
Ascend, a fully integrated producer of performance materials, will showcase its Trinohex Ultra electrolyte additive; now Reach-registered in Europe and China.

In third-party testing, Trinohex Ultra demonstrates superior cathode protection across cathode and electrolyte chemistries. This protection has been shown to reduce harmful gas generation, improve capacity retention and lower impedance growth, especially in extreme conditions.

“Battery safety, performance, cost and material availability are the biggest obstacles to mass adoption of e-mobility and renewable energies,” said David McNeece, Ascend’s senior product manager for sustainable specialties. “Trinohex Ultra is a drop-in solution to these challenges and can be easily integrated into existing battery chemistries and manufacturing processes.”

High-voltage safety
Ascend will also debut two new polyamide technologies in its Starflam® FR portfolio: X-Protect and color-stable orange.

Starflam X-Protect is a crosslinkable, flame-retardant nylon 6,6 designed to withstand EV battery thermal runaway. Tested in accordance with SAE AS5127 (a test originally designed for aerospace applications), Starflam X-Protect was rated fireproof to 1100°C for 15 minutes.

“In open-flame tests, Starflam X-protect outperforms standard FR nylon and even aluminum,” said Ian van Duijvenboode, Ascend’s e-mobility director. “In the event of a catastrophic battery failure, that added protection provides the time needed to ensure all passengers remain safe.”

Additionally, Ascend has developed a color-stable orange for its Starflam 525K for high-voltage connectors and cables. The new orange masterbatch ensures the material retains its color over 5,000 hours of heat aging without sacrificing performance.

“As EVs become more prevalent and age, the technicians and first responders working on these vehicles need to know where high-voltage systems are,” said Mr. van Duijvenboode. “Our orange will stay orange well into the operational life of the vehicle, clearly indicating areas of high-voltage.”
