Munich, Germany-based chemical group Wacker will present innovative and sustainable silicone solutions for plastics processors and their customers at the 22nd International Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber. The product innovations, which will be exhibited from 19-26 Oct 2022 in Duesseldorf, include silicone rubber compounds that are produced with the aid of non-fossil methanol and thus contribute significantly to conserving fossil resources. A further spotlight will be on self-adhesive liquid silicone rubber grades for polycarbonate multicomponent parts and novel silicone resins for the manufacture of moulded parts that remain stable at high temperatures in electrical applications. Plus, there will be a focus on sustainable solutions for electromobility, with numerous application examples being featured, including cable insulation made of silicone rubber, thermally conductive gap fillers, and novel fire-safety concepts for electric-vehicle batteries. Silicone additives and polymer binders for the processing and enhancement of biopolymers round out WACKER's tradeshow offering in 2022. At K 2022, WACKER will be welcoming tradeshow visitors at its usual spot - Hall 6, Booth A10. Sporting the motto 'Thinking Beyond', WACKER's 300-sq-m tradeshow booth will once again showcase numerous product innovations from the Wacker Silicones and Wacker Polymers business divisions: biomethanol-based silicone rubber grades; self-adhesive silicones for hard/ soft combinations made of polycarbonate; silicone resins for the manufacture of molded parts that remain stable at high temperatures; and silicone-based additives for polyethylene molding compounds. Also celebrating their premiere in 2022 will be new additive masterbatches made of vinyl acetate-based polymer resins for modifying biodegradable polyesters, and polymer binders produced using a climate-friendly method that conserves resources with the aid of renewable acetic acid. Wacker is investing more than EUR 100 M in the expansion of existing production capacities over the coming years. These investments will particularly focus on high-value speciality silicone grades. ELASTOSIL eco silicone rubber grades are among the product innovations that Wacker will be showcasing at K 2022. They are manufactured in a resource-efficient, certified process with the aid of methanol derived from plants rather than from fossil materials. Since plant-based methanol and its fossil counterpart are chemically inter-changeable, ELASTOSIL and ELASTOSIL eco products possess the same end properties, and the processing techniques involved are also identical. In the future, Wacker will be offering its customers 'eco' versions of eight of its silicone rubber grades - six hardness values of the non-postcure and tear-resistant liquid silicone rubber ELASTOSIL LR 5040 (ELASTOSIL eco LR 5040) and one hardness grade each of the peroxide-curing solid silicone rubber ELASTOSIL R 401 (ELASTOSIL eco R 401/40) and the addition-curing solid silicone ELASTOSIL R plus 4020 (ELASTOSIL eco R plus 4020/40). At K 2022, WACKER will be presenting another 'eco' product line alongside ELASTOSIL eco: VINNEX eco. This line relates to homopolymers, copolymers and terpolymers based on polyvinyl acetate. Thanks to their polarity, they are compatible with biopolyester and are thus ideal for the modification of biodegradable polymers and starches. VINNEX additives simplify processing, improve the material properties of biopolyesters and act as compatibilizers.

LANXESS will be exhibiting at K 2022 in Duesseldorf, the world's largest trade fair for plastics and rubber, under the motto 'Quality Works'. From 19-26 Oct 2022, the speciality chemicals company will present material developments as well as new processes and technologies for the plastics industry at its 700 sq m booth C76 - C78 in Hall 6. In addition, sustainable products and system solutions for the rubber and polyurethane industries will be on display, as well as colorants and intermediates for the polymer sector. LANXESS' focus topics for this year's trade fair are electromobility and sustainability. The High Performance Materials business unit focuses on sustainable material and lightweight solutions. Main areas are materials and component concepts for consistent lightweight construction in the future market of electromobility - for example, lightweight structural components based on the continuous fibre-reinforced composites of the Tepex brand in the field of batteries for passenger cars. Furthermore, the business unit will present new Tepex composites based on recyclates or bio-based raw materials. One example here is Tepex dynalite Scopeblue 813, which has just been launched on the market and is produced from flax fibres and polylactic acid. Also on show will be a Tepex dynalite with a polyamide 6 matrix that is produced starting from 'green' cyclohexane and therefore consists of well over 80% sustainable raw materials. Another focus is on tailored solutions for the increased requirements in electric vehicles, for example in the powertrain or charging infrastructure. Here, plastic components are often exposed to higher temperatures and at the same time very strong electrical currents and voltages. Plastic connectors, for example, must remain electrically insulating under these conditions and must not allow creepage current to occur. LANXESS has developed a new halogen-free flame-retardant and hydrolysis-stabilized polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) compound for these high-voltage connectors. The Urethane Systems business unit will present its extensive product range for the polyurethane industry. It is designed to increase sustainability along the entire value chain. The wide range extends from Low Free (LF) monomer technology and innovative Adiprene Green brand prepolymers with a high bio-based content to novel hot-cast and cold-cure systems that can be processed with reduced energy input. The focus is also on water-borne coatings designed to meet the high demands of modern vehicle interiors. A wide range of additives for the rubber processing industry will be presented by the Rhein Chemie business unit. These include predispersed chemicals, processing promoters and vulcanization and filler activators. In the spirit of advancing sustainability, the focus will be on not only rubber production but also the manufacture of high-quality, long-lasting rubber products designed for a whole range of applications such as tyres, hoses, seals, profiles, and drive belts. The lifetime is an important indicator for the sustainable performance of rubber products. Additives such as Perkalink and Vulcuren from LANXESS allow tyre manufacturers to develop and produce mixtures for tyres designed to deliver ultra-high performance over their entire service life.
