Extrusion International USA 4-2022

51 Extrusion International 4/2022 actuated take-off roll for gap and con- tact operation; process rollswith a quick releasewater connectionand simplified roll change function; and a motorized Teflon tape systemand belt adjustment for safe, uninterrupted operation. XP Express® AGT – As the latest addition to Davis- Standard’s roll stand portfolio, this model provides greater automation and process control for sheet extru- sion applications. With a space-sav- ing, multi-roll design, processors can take advantage of advanced cooling and polishing, die-to-nip manage- ment, web flatness, heat transfer, consistent sheet clarity, and improved performance for low melt-strength resins. This model is not for sale in Germany. Feedscrew Display – A single screw extrusion plastica- tion model will show the transfor- mation of raw plastic material into melt as it is pushed to the front of the screw through a rotational action. A single-stage metering screw and single-stage barrier screw will also be displayed. These designs illustrate the mixing quality and efficiency of Davis-Standard’s screw technology in conveying, compressing, and blend- ing melted pellets and color additives into a homogeneous melt stream. Davis-Standard, LLC www.davis-standard.com K 2022: Hall 16, Stand A43 LANXESS will be exhibiting at K 2022 in Duesseldorf under the motto “Quality Works”. The specialty chemi- cals company will present material de- velopments as well as new processes and technologies for the plastics in- dustry at its 700-square-meter booth. In addition, sustainable products and system solutions for the rubber and polyurethane industries will be on dis- play, as well as colorants and interme- diates for the polymer sector. LANXESS’ focus topics for this year’s trade fair are electromobility and sus- tainability. “We want to play an active role in the transformation of the econ- omy and global value chains towards a more sustainable world,” says Dr. Hubert Fink, member of the LANXESS Board of Management. “With our materials, we support our customers in manufacturing more sustainable products that have a lower carbon footprint and conserve resources and the climate.” The High Performance Materials business unit focuses on sustainable material and lightweight solutions. Main areas are materials and com- ponent concepts for consistent light- weight construction in the future market of electromobility. Furthermore, the business unit will present new Tepex composites based on recyclates or bio-based raw ma- terials. One example here is Tepex dynalite Scopeblue 813, which has just been launched on the market and is produced from flax fibers 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 percent sus- tainable raw materials. LANXESS’ Polymer Additives and Inorganic Pigments business units offer the plastics industry high-per- formance, sustainable colorants for direct coloration. The business units will present their product ranges for the energy-efficient production of colored plastic goods, which eliminate the need for subsequent coating and thus avoid reworking. This includes both universal products and special- ties for particular requirements. With brominated and phosphorus- based solutions, LANXESS’ Polymer Additives business unit offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of organic flame retardants in the world. The polymeric and reactive flame re - tardants reduce the release of addi- tives from polymers, thus contributing to environmental and health protec- tion without compromising fire safe - ty. Due to their high efficiency, bro - minated flame retardants are widely used in the construction and electron- ics industries. In addition to effective fire protection, phosphorus-based flame retardants offer other advan - tages such as good processability and high elasticity in PU and PVC systems. A wide range of additives for the rubber processing industry will be presented by the Rhein Chemie busi- ness 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 tires, hoses, seals, profiles, and drive belts.
