The company’s PURECARES polyolefin products are based on technologies free of both tris (nonylphenyl) phosphite (TNPP) and phthalates. Consumer comfort is achieved by using SABIC polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) polymers for bi-component fibers to answer multiple needs for soft and loft handfeel nonwovens, enabling easy lamination to other building blocks on medical nonwovens or absorbent hygiene applications.

In addition, SABIC produces TRUCIRCLE certified circular polymers for its PURECARES PP and PE portfolio with feedstock based on advanced recycling of mixed and used plastic that would otherwise typically not be suitable for mechanical recycling processes. These more sustainable solutions can be adopted in downstream processes as direct drop-in alternatives to incumbent materials with no compromise in production efficiency, purity and product performance.

Tape-Einleger bieten große Potentiale für Spritzgießbauteile

Nach Abschluss einer umfangreichen Markt- und Technologieanalyse unter der Führung des Aachener Zentrums für integrativen Leichtbau (AZL) und des Instituts für Kunststoffverarbeitung an der RWTH Aachen (IKV) bestätigt das Konsortialprojekt das große Potential von Tape-Einlegern im Spritzgießprozess. Für geeignete Bauteile lassen sich Produktkosten sowie Bauteileigenschaften positiv beeinflussen.

In Kooperation mit 20 Industriepartnern haben die beiden Aachener Forschungsinstitute AZL und IKV über einen Zeitraum von insgesamt acht Monaten eine detaillierte Analyse zum Thema Tape-Einleger in Spritzgussbauteilen durchgeführt. Bei den wenige zehntel Millimeter dicken Tapes handelt sich um Endlosfasern, typischerweise aus Glas oder Carbon, die vollständig imprägniert in eine thermoplastische Matrix eingebettet sind. Einsatz finden die präzise entsprechend der Belastungen in einem Bauteil ausrichtbaren Tapes bisher vornehmlich in High-Performance Anwendungen mit dem Ziel der Gewichtsreduzierung. Ziel der jetzt durchgeführten Analyse war die Identifikation potenzieller Anwendungen und die Abschätzung einer breiteren Einsatzmöglichkeit.

Ziel der jetzt durchgeführten Analyse war die Identifikation potenzieller Anwendungen und die Abschätzung einer breiteren Einsatzmöglichkeit.

Das Projekt gliederte sich in mehrere Phasen: Phase I diente zunächst der Bestandsaufnahme. In 20 Interviews mit für die Spritzgießbranche repräsentativen Verarbeitern erfassten die Forscher, warum Tape-Einleger bisher nur selten bei der Definition der zu analysierenden Werkstoffkonzepte Berücksichtigung finden. Als wesentliche Herausforderung wurde das Fehlen von Informationen über die Materialklasse, über das Vorgehen und die Tools für den Entwicklungsprozess sowie über die notwendigen Produktionstechnologien genannt. Hier wird das Konsortium ansetzen und während des „Technology Information Day“ umfassend über den umfangreich aufbereiteten Stand der Technik sowie den hohen Reifegrad der Zulieferkette informieren. Aufbauend auf dem Status Quo entwickelten sie eine Methodik, mit der technologische und wirtschaftliche Potentiale von Tape-Einlegern in Spritzgussanwendungen analysiert werden können.

Sowohl die bisherigen Ergebnisse als auch die geplanten Folgeprojekte sind Gegenstand des „Technology Information Day“ auf der K 2019, zu dem die an der Studie beteiligten Firmen, das AZL und das IKV vom Rohstoffhersteller über den Spritzgießer bis zum OEM alle Unternehmen entlang der Wertschöpfungskette einladen. (Termin: 18.10.2019, 10:00 bis 13:30 Uhr, Messe Düsseldorf CCD Süd, Raum 002).

Zu dem „Technology Information Day“ im Rahmen der K 2019 lädt das Konsortium, bestehend aus Asahi Kasei Europe GmbH, BASF SE, Borealis AG, BÜFA Thermoplastic Composites GmbH & Co. KG, ENGEL AUSTRIA GmbH, Huesker Synthetic GmbH, LG Hausys R&D Center, Mitsui Chemicals, Nippon Electric Glass, Polyscope Polymers BV, POLYTEC GROUP, Simcon kunststofftechnische Software GmbH, SABIC und Toray International Europe GmbH ein. Ziel ist es, über die Technologie zu informieren und Themen der zukünftigen Zusammenarbeit zu identifizieren.
