Solvay Develops Industry-First Specialized UV-C Stabilizers for the Protection of Polyolefin Surfaces
Solvay, a global market leader in specialty materials, has announced the development of an innovative new portfolio of UV-C stabilizers. They are designed for use in demanding hygiene applications, where polyolefin surfaces are treated with ultra-violet (UV) light of the UV-C spectrum (200-280 nm) to fight against COVID and hospital-acquired infections. The new proprietary stabilization technology represents an important milestone for the polyolefin industry, as it is the first to address the risk of polyolefin degradation, discoloration and micro-crack formation, which is caused by frequent exposure to UV-C irradiation.

SABIC presenta i nuovi PP compound per lo stampaggio a iniezione di materiale espanso, che forniscono leggerezza ed eccezionali caratteristiche estetiche per interni automobilistici
SABIC, leader mondiale nel settore chimico, ha presentato oggi una gamma di compound SABIC® PP specifica per lo stampaggio a iniezione di materiale espanso (FIM – Foam Injection Molding). I nuovi gradi SABIC® PPc F9005, PPc F9007 e PPc F9015, con rinforzo minerale, possono contribuire ad ottenere eccellenti caratteristiche estetiche per parti visibili di interni vettura con geometrie complesse, come pannelli e finiture delle porte, rivestimenti di sedili e baule, coperture dei montanti A/B/C/D e console centrali. A differenza dei materiali FIM standard, che tendono a presentare difetti superficiali, i nuovi PP compound avanzati offrono una qualità superficiale uniformemente elevata, simile a quella delle parti stampate a iniezione tradizionali. Rispetto ai componenti solidi, le parti espanse realizzate con i PP compound di SABIC permettono un significativo risparmio di peso che può contribuire a ridurre le emissioni. Secondo uno studio di valutazione del ciclo di vita dalla culla alla tomba (in attesa di revisione da parte di terzi), i nuovi materiali avanzati possono aiutare i costruttori automobilistici a ridurre le emissioni di biossido di carbonio (CO2) fino al 15%.
