● AddWorks® PKG 158 Series Additives Enable Higher Performance and Safety for Polyolefin-Based Packaging Materials
● Through high-performance wax additives Licocare® Vita/Licocene® Terra enables higher value in processing, reduces carbon footprint
● Exolit® OP 1400 Flame Retardant and AddWorks® PKG 906 Circle and AGC 970 G stabilizer improves durability and functionality
Chinaplas 2023 will be held in Shenzhen, China from April 17 to 20, 2023. At that time, Clariant will present its multifunctional additive solutions to help the plastics industry create new value and Development potential. Clariant will showcase several products at its stand, including the new AddWorks PKG 158 products greatly improve the performance of packaging materials; in addition, there are AddWorks PKG 906 Circle and AddWorks AGC 970 G stabilizers, these products are of great value in plastic film recycling and life extension; while the powerful Exolit OP 1400 flame retardant, which can promote mechanical recycling, will also be the focus of attention; meanwhile, Licocene® Terra high-performance wax additives and Licocare RBW, which focuses on sustainability Vita products are also two highlights of this exhibition.
Clariant's various additives have a wide range of functional and safety properties and can add value in different ways to plastic products in different industries such as packaging, electronics, agriculture and electric vehicles. As domestic and overseas consumer demand in China continues to increase after the epidemic, Clariant's additive solutions will help these industries seize new development opportunities faster and more effectively.
Jochen An, Global Senior Vice President, Electromobility and Electronics Business Unit, Adsorbents and Additives Business Unit, Clariant Ahrens, said: "As a key material in the rapidly growing electric vehicle and electronics industries, versatility and safety are key to the success of plastic products, as the requirements for materials in these industries are becoming more and more complex. Therefore, our wide range of AddWorks additives and Exolit flame retardants are integral in helping our customers meet new demands in the value chain.Our state-of-the-art Exolit in Daya Bay, China With the new OP halogen-free flame retardant plant going into operation later this year, I believe that with closer collaboration, strong local production facilities, and the development capabilities of Shanghai Clariant's integrated campus laboratory, we can more quickly Respond to customer needs. "
Clariant's patented Exolit OP 1400 flame retardant has become the preferred flame retardant product in the field of electric vehicles due to its ultra-high effectiveness and powerful mode of action. In most polyamide products, only a low dosage (0.4mm, 16-20% flame retardant) can already reach UL94 Industry-leading fire protection standards rated V-0.
New AddWorks PKG for polyolefin-based packaging by utilizing polymers to improve processability, stability and static control of packaging materials in terms of safety and performance 158 products can provide more functions and better economy. On the other hand, the new light stabilizer solution AddWorks AGC 970 G provides excellent UV and agrochemical protection to extend the life of agricultural mulches.
Zhang Xiaocui, Global Vice President of the Plastics Business Unit of Clariant's Adsorbents and Additives business unit, said: "In addition to having strong performance advantages, Clariant's additives and plastics solutions also demonstrate good sustainability, making them the first choice of our customers. .For example, our Licocene Terra products enable the eco-friendliness of polymers and waxes, based on renewable C2/C3 raw materials, with excellent bonding properties and a significantly reduced carbon footprint. "
Clariant will also highlight another wax product, Licocare, at this Chinaplas Vita, based on renewable coarse rice bran wax, is primarily used in engineering thermoplastics applications as a highly effective lubricant and dispersion aid. This bio-based additive solution also has good environmental characteristics, which is conducive to achieving the sustainable development goals of enterprises.
The China International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition will be held at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center from April 17 to 20, 2023. During this period, Clariant will grandly promote the company's main products at booth 15C41, and introduce its related solutions at the seminar.
