Extrusion International 5-2025-USA

21 Extrusion International 5/2025 Sustainable Additive Innovations at K 2025 SI Group will showcase its portfolio of innovative additive technologies at the K 2025 exhibition in Düssel- dorf, German. Daily technical presen- tations will be hosted at the SI Group booth, highlighting the company’s latest solutions that enhance per- formance and sustainability across a variety of plastics applications. Tech- nical experts will present their latest solutions in recycled polypropylene, PFAS-free additives, and Arvin-free technologies designed for automo- tive, packaging, and consumer ap- plications. K 2025 visitors can reg- ister to attend the technical talks at Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite. com/o/si-group-114839571981. Featured products at SI Group’s booth will highlight the compa- ny’s commitment to driving for- ward-thinking solutions that sup- port sustainable practices within the plastic and rubber industries. Products include: • WESTONTM 705 – A next-gener- ation, nonylphenol-free liquid phos- phite antioxidant for plastics and elastomers. Approved for food con- tact in more than 50 countries, it is a best-in-class stabilizer for polyethyl- ene blown lms. • LOWINOXTM 1790 – High-per- formance hindered phenolic antioxi- dant designed to be more effective at preventing spandex oxidation and degradation than commonly used HN-150/LOWINOX GP45 blend. With an enhanced safety and environ- mental pro le, LOWINOX 1790 does not generate NDMA or any known carcinogens. • LOWINOX™ TBM6 – Hindered thiophenol antioxidant that is highly pure and clean, speci cally designed for high-voltage cable insulation. • NAUGARD BIO-XLTM – An ac- celerator with over 95% biocarbon- based content for sulfur curing of natural and synthetic rubbers. NAU- GARD BIO-XL does not release harm- ful nitrosamines as listed in TRGS552. • NAUGATACTM 1068-ULM – SI Group’s latest tacki er offers a re - duced SVHC-content option, en- hances tack retention in a wide range of elastomers, including tire compounds, treads, hoses, belts, and other rubber articles, and delivers performance equal to or better than conventional tacki ers. These products will be showcased through an interactive booth display designed to demonstrate their tech- nical bene ts and applications. "Sustainability and performance are at the center of everything we do,” said Robert Kaiser, VP Polymer Solutions and Managing Director at SI Group. “Our presence at K 2025 underscores our commitment to advancing circular and responsible solutions. We remain focused on meeting regulatory requirements while ensuring our additive plat- forms, like EVERCYCLE™ and NAU- GARD BIO-XL, continue to deliver the reliable, high-performance re- sults our customers expect.” SI Group www.siigroup.com K 2025: Hall 6, Booth B08 maining 100 % PFAS-free. Grades from un- lled TU-60 to carbon- - bre-reinforced TF-60C support seals, bearings and semiconductor tooling operating beyond 300 °C. Meldin® 7000 thermoset Poly- imide Series: Meldin 7000 from Omniseal / Saint-Gobain operate continuously at 315 °C and with- stand 482 °C excursions, keep di- mensional change below 0.04 % af - ter repeated cycling between 23 °C and 260 °C. Self-lubricating grades support dry-running applications under high thermal and mechanical stress, meeting aerospace and mili- tary standards like MIL-P-46198 and AMS 3644E. R-PEEK Dexnyl® R-PEEK Granules: BIEGLO closes the loop on post- industrial PEEK by collecting, clean- ing and re-granulating residues into Dexnyl® R-PEEK 143G. Mechani- cal properties are retained after recycling, enabling cost-effective substitution of virgin PEEK in high- temp components while cutting the carbon-footprint. BIEGLO offers natural recycled PEEK grades in dif- ferent viscosities and compounded recycled PEEK. Spartech Sheet & Film Innova- tions: The portfolio of Spartech products was merged into BIEGLO in 2025. ASP-Plastics GmbH was ac- quired by BIEGLO several years ago. ASP-Plastics was the of cial sales- channel in Europe from this large US sheet-extruder. Royalite® ame-retardant PVC/ ABS and PVC/Acrylic sheets meet UL, FAR 25.853 and ASTM E-84 FST requirements, offering lightweight, thermoformable solutions for air- craft interiors, battery housings and transport seating applications. Korad®weatherable PMMA lms laminate onto ABS, HIPS or PVC, de- livering long-term UV stability, gloss control (10 to 85 %) and outdoor colour delity for recreational and building products. Polycast™ cast acrylic is available as sheet, tube, and rod, with special grades for bullet-resistant windows. These offer UL-rated ballistic pro- tection, over 90% light transmis - sion, and optional SAR™ coating for added abrasion resistance. BIEGLO GmbH BARpast LLC is the US subsidiary of the BIEGLO Holding, based in Texas. BARplast offers a similar portfolio as BIEGLO to demanding North- American polymer- converters. www.bieglo.com www.barplast.com K 2025: Hall 8A, Booth B33
