RTP launches 2nd European production site

Engineered thermoplastics compounder RTP Co. has opened a new manufacturing plant in Ladenburg, Germany, the company’s second in Europe. Operating as RTP Deutschland GmbH, the 61,500-square-foot operation will make products including very-long-fiber composites and conductive compounds. “In addition to expanding manufacturing capacity, the Ladenburg plant also houses on-site product development engineers as well as a quality assurance laboratory,” John Van Wijk, European director of sales, said in a  news release. Winona, Minn.-based RTP now has 11 manufacturing sites. Others include Beaune, France; Suzhou, China; Singapore; Monterrey, Mexico; and six plants in the U.S. RTP bought the Beaune plant from French thermoplastics compounder Codiplast SNC in 1995. Since then, RTP has significantly expanded its global footprint. The company said a second plant in Europe was necessary because of growth in its market for engineered materials. In an interview at K 2010, European sales and development manager Colin Rooney said RTP has seen strong demand for compounds based on nylon and polypropylene for the automotive sector. “If you want to be in automotive [in Europe], Germany is the place,” he said, adding that a number of customers had asked RTP to locate a facility there. RTP’s long-fiber products and other materials can be used in automotive battery trays, front-end parts and door panels. The first extrusion line at the Ladenburg plant was commissioned in late October, with the second line set to begin production in the first quarter of 2011. Business in 2009 “wasn’t good for anybody,” Rooney said. “But it came back this year.” Earlier in 2010. RTP entered the South American market with a sales office and warehouse in Alphaville, Brazil, near São Paulo. Officials said they are needed because of increased demand for domestically made products from the automotive, consumer-goods and energy markets. RTP ranks as one of North America’s 30 largest compounders and concentrate makers.

3B Partners with Reprocover to Recycle Production Waste into Innovative Composite Solution

3B-the fibreglass company has partnered with Reprocover, a local Belgian company, to develop very attractive sustainable solutions for sewage, drainage and water supply applications. Typically, the composite solutions are made of 90% of recycled materials and have proven their ability to replace efficiently commonly used cast iron for the production of sewage trapdoors, manholes, utility access holes, etc. Replacing metal has long been the challenge of glass fibre reinforced composites in order to reduce cost, complexity and weight. Alongside these attributes, two key performance criteria -- superior impact performance and improved weatherability -- have been achieved. This resulted in Reprocover, together with 3B, developing a product range molded from a thermoset compound reinforced by 50 to 60% Advantex glass. The Reprocover breakthrough lies in their specialized process of grinding and mixing of the recycled materials. Reprocover also worked on the geometry of the different components of each product in order to maximize the load resistance to weight ratio. All of the applications can be easily fixed to PVC pipes, connections and inspection pits. The Reprocover`s products have been approved by Belgian Water Authorities, which definitely opens many new opportunities in building and road construction. "The concept created by Reprocover is a huge step forward! It really demonstrates how thanks to the replacement of metal by glass reinforced composite, new markets and applications can benefit from the advantages of lightweight, design flexibility, corrosion resistance and easy processing. In addition, the products display dimensional stability over a large temperature range (from -40°C to 70°C) as well as a chemical resistance to salts and detergents. They open new opportunities in sewage and utility supply markets," stated Dr Eric Martin, Thermoplastic Product Manager of 3B. "Within 3B, we are dedicated to developing sustainable and durable glass fibre reinforcement solutions. Recycling our glass fibre wastes is a key driver in our sustainability strategy and partnering together with Reprocover has enabled us to pursue the minimization of our environmental footprint," he concluded. Ludo Debergh, Founder & Director, Reprocover added, "Glass fibre plays a key role in Reprocover products, bringing high rigidity and outstanding load resistance. As an example, our 315mm diameter manhole can easily withstand a heavy pressure load without damage. Working with 90% of recycled materials can reduce the cost of existing cast iron solutions by a factor of 5 while providing much superior adhesion to asphalt and concrete." Manhole and trapdoors are the first product ranges of Reprocover portfolio. "New opportunities are already idenfitied for utility supply housings (water & gas), which can be seen in pavement. Considering all the metal parts which can be replaced, the opportunity is undoubtedly huge and the benefits are equally significant." About 3B-the fibreglass company 3B-the fibreglass company is a leading developer and supplier of fibreglass products and technologies for the reinforcement of thermoplastic and thermoset polymers. This dynamic and entrepreneurial company has two state-of-the-art fibreglass manufacturing facilities in Battice, Belgium and Birkeland, Norway as well as a dedicated R&D Centre located in the heart of Europe. The company operates two unique eco-responsible and high performance glass technologies, Advantex and HiPer-tex. These two well established brands combine durability with eco-responsibility and versatility, making them the materials of choice for a wide range of industries. With a sound foundation of unique assets, 3B is committed to design reliable and durable fibreglass solutions available globally.

Indorama Ventures to Purchase INVISTA Spartanburg, S.C. and Queretaro, Mexico Polyester Businesses

Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire PET polymer and resins manufacturing facilities located in Spartanburg, S.C. and Querétaro, Mexico from certain subsidiaries of INVISTA B.V. “This planned acquisition will allow IVL to build upon our expanding global platform, make the company the largest PET producer in the world, and deliver on our strategy to enter into new higher growth regions like Central and Latin America” The total value of the acquisition will be $420 million less certain assumed liabilities, and includes $229 million for the net fixed assets and equity interests, as well as $174 million for the net working capital of the business, subject to customary adjustments at closing. The transaction is expected to be financed from a combination of cash on hand, amounts available under existing credit facilities and additional debt. The parties anticipate the transaction will close in the first quarter of 2011, pending receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. INVISTA’s Spartanburg, South Carolina facility produces polyester resins used in bottles for carbonated soft drinks, water, beer, juice, and wine; food and custom-container applications, and polyester staple fiber and specialty polymers for a variety of applications. The Spartanburg operation has a total capacity of 470 kMT per annum. Approximately 490 people are employed at the site. INVISTA’s Querétaro, Mexico facility produces polyester resins and polyester staple similar to that produced at INVISTA’s Spartanburg operation. Querétaro has a total capacity of 535 kMT per annum. Approximately 510 people are employed at the site. The combination positions Indorama Ventures as the world’s leading producer of PET and enables IVL to better meet its customers’ needs. In North America, the acquisition complements Indorama Ventures’ existing PET manufacturing site at Asheboro, N.C. (StarPET) and its state-of-the-art MTR PET Resin facility at Decatur, Alabama (AlphaPET). Additional benefits for IVL will include: * Access to new customers and markets via Querétaro * Entry into the U.S. specialty PET fibers market via Spartanburg * Enhancement of research and development capabilities * Benefit from integration with IVL’s existing facilities, including AlphaPET and StarPET * Increased production flexibility The transaction is expected to be accretive to IVL’s earnings in the first full year of acquisition (pre-synergies). Indorama Ventures believes that there is a further opportunity to create value for its shareholders through synergy capture. “We believe INVISTA’s Spartanburg and Querétaro businesses complement Indorama Ventures’ existing U.S. business,” said Chris Hamman, president of INVISTA Polymer & Resins. “I want to extend thanks and appreciation to all INVISTA employees involved in our polymer and resins business for their dedication through this process, and for building a business that so capably delivers innovation and value to its customers.” “This planned acquisition will allow IVL to build upon our expanding global platform, make the company the largest PET producer in the world, and deliver on our strategy to enter into new higher growth regions like Central and Latin America,” said Aloke Lohia, Group Chief Executive Officer of Indorama Ventures. “We believe these valuable assets will further strengthen our capability and reinforce our ongoing commitment to the PET and Fiber business. We are truly excited as such million ton opportunities are seldom available. Furthermore, INVISTA’s innovative products and a recognized brand will allow Indorama Ventures to enhance its value proposition to its customers and stakeholders, considering the depth of management and knowledge that reside at these facilities supporting manufacturing, R&D and Post Consumer Recycling (PCR),” added Mr. Lohia. It is currently anticipated that essentially all of INVISTA’s Polymer & Resins’ operations, marketing, sales, customer service, and research and development staff associated with the Spartanburg and Querétaro operations will be employed by Indorama after the sale is finalized, along with INVISTA Polymer & Resins’ staff associated with that portion of the business based at administrative offices in Charlotte, North Carolina; and Santa Fe, Mexico. INVISTA Polymer & Resins’ Wilmington, N.C. site is not a part of the transaction, nor is INVISTA’s European Polymer & Resins business, which includes manufacturing operations in Gersthofen, Germany. INVISTA will also retain certain intellectual property related to the polymer and resins business.

Kistler and STASA develop an automatic method for the prognosis of injection molded part quality

Swiss company Kistler Instrumente AG of Winterthur is the leading international supplier of sensors and systems for in-line cavity pressure-based quality monitoring of injection molding processes. German specialist Steinbeis Angewandte Systemanalyse GmbH (STASA) with headquarters in Stuttgart has many years of experience in the development of process models, online prognosis of quality features based on characteristic process values as well as the application of complex mathematical methods and models to industrial processes. This expertise is based on scientifically corroborated methods such as the design of experience (DoE) and the generation of models, and can be reliably applied to injection molding. The implementation of approved Kistler systems into process-related quality monitoring of injection molding processes based on process profile characteristics such as the properties and tolerances of the cavity pressure curve is already widely established. Kistler and STASA have now joined forces to develop an enhanced quality monitoring method for injection molding processes that allows the direct quality monitoring and definite prognosis of the quality of the currently molded part by using the quality models of the STASA QC program. Based on the process models and measured process parameters, the final dimensions of the molded part can be predicted online, i.e. while the part is being produced. Immediately after injection molding, this approach provides information on whether the part will meet specified dimensional tolerances when it is used. The new concept has many benefits for manufacturers and OEMs of injection molded products: they will receive information on the tolerance limits directly from the part specification and can use this criterion as a parameter of the process monitoring system. This technique significantly enhances in-line quality monitoring of injection molding processes: the limits of monitoring parameters such as pressure maxima, pressure integrals and other values need no longer be defined and evaluated. Instead, the relevant correlations between process profiles and quality criteria are acquired during mold sampling and are then used for process monitoring. The DoE used during mold sampling has beneficial side effects, because the injection molding process can be optimized automatically and ideal parameters for meeting the required quality criteria can be defined within the process latitude. This combination of process and quality monitoring with quality prognosis has long been requested by molders of high-quality, extremely sensitive, hard-to-assemble moldings such as producers of medical parts and pharmaceutical components. This technology is integrated into Kistler CoMo Injection process monitoring systems as an optional module. Quality prognosis will become available as a high-end option for the CoMo Injection during the course of 2011. Background: Quality Assurance with Mold Cavity Pressure The cavity pressure curve is considered to represent a fingerprint of the injection molding process. It is the most informative characteristic for evaluating the quality of the part. Deviations from the optimum curve are clear indications of process fluctuations that lead to part defects ranging from incomplete mold filling to flashing or dimensional discrepancies. As the supplier with the largest and widest range of sensors for all methods of injection molding, simple connection technology and intuitively easy to operate, networkable systems, Kistler is the only manufacturer to offer complete monitoring of injection molding from a single source. Kistler is the world\'s leading manufacturer of pressure and temperature sensors for use in the plastics processing industry Kistler Group Kistler’s core competence is the development, production and use of sensors for measuring pressure, force, torque and acceleration. Kistler’s know-how and electronic systems can be used to prepare measuring signals for use in analyzing physical processes, controlling and optimizing industrial processes, improving product quality in manufacturing and improving performance in sports and rehabilitation. Kistler offers a comprehensive range of sensors and systems for engine development, automotive engineering, plastics and metal processing, installation technology and biomechanics. A worldwide sales presence in the form of 25 group companies and 30 distributors ensures customer proximity, application support on an individual level and short lead times. With a staff of about 1 000, the Kistler Group is one of the world’s leading providers of dynamic measuring instrumentation. The Kistler Group achieved turnover of 166 million Swiss Francs in the 2009 financial year. STASA Steinbeis Angewandte Systemanalyse GmbH STASA Steinbeis Angewandte Systemanalyse GmbH was founded by Prof. Dr. Günter Haag and is a member of the Steinbeis network. The specialist’s objective is the utilization of useful innovations on the leading edge of research and development in order to keep industrial customers abreast of the competition by leveraging their expertise. A selected team of highly qualified experts is providing solutions to complex tasks in the area of applied analysis, model development and simulation of technical systems. The integration of innovative statistics and physical methods is one the specialist’s core competencies. The STASA QC application won the do-it Software Award. Source : K Time 2010

Optimism builds on eve of K2010, says Messe Dusseldorf

In the final pre-event briefing before the K2010 doors open on Wednesday, organizer Messe Dusseldorf said that the number of exhibitors will be down by just 12 compared to the last show in 2007 event – 3,102 exhibitors this year from 3,114 – representing a total exhibitor area of 164,125 square meters. As at past K fairs, machinery and equipment producers account for the majority of exhibitors - 1,911 - followed by 635 raw materials producers, 271 producers of semi-finished products and technical parts and 185 service providers. The number of German exhibitors is down slightly from 1,076 at K2007 to 1,131 at K 2010. But domestic companies still account for the largest share – 40 percent – whether measured by number or floor space. However, 2,026 exhibitors – 60 percent of the total – come from outside Germany. Italy takes the lead among overseas countries, with 413 exhibitors, followed by China with 247. Taiwan at 139 takes third position, slightly ahead of France at 126, which is in turn ahead of India at 122 and 110 from the United States. Well over 200,000 visitors are expected to visit the show - 242,000 visitors attended the K2007 event. Speaking in his role as president of the K2010 exhibitors advisory council, Ulrich Reifenhäuser spoke at the briefing about the difficult times the industry has seen since the 2007 event. “We had this terrible crisis, the biggest catastrophe that the machinery industry has ever experienced,” he said. However, Reifenhäuser said he remained optimistic and predicted the long-term average 9 percent growth rate of the plastics industry seen since 1950 will not be broken by the recent recession. “Readiness for change is much greater in a period of crisis,” he said. Despite short-time working in the plastics machinery industry, German government measures have ensured that experienced staff are on hand to handle the strong growth now being experienced, Reifenhäuser said. Reifenhäuser’s growth comments have since been confirmed by the German VDMA plastics and rubber machinery association, of which Ulrich Reifenhäuser is also chairman, which raised its forecast for sector sales growth in 2010 from 11 to 15 percent. Meanwhile, Messe Düsseldorf CEO Werner Matthias Dornscheidt shared some key show data at the briefing. He said some 5,000 vehicles and 20,000 people are involved in the build up of the fair, which has seen 3,000 trucks, including 31 exceptional heavy transporters, on the showground. Despite 23 hotel ships moored along the Rhein, Dornscheidt said rooms in hotels and private quarters have once again been largely taken up. He also said that Messe Düsseldorf has successfully managed to put a stop to a number of intermediaries that had been buying up hotel room space and selling it at twice the normal price. Dornscheidt added that local hotels should only be applying modest premiums over their regular rates. “It is excessive if you have to pay 500 euros for a night in the Novotel,” he said. Hotels, restaurants and taxi companies will, of course, benefit from the extra trade that a quarter of a million visitors will bring to the city of Düsseldorf. Local public transport operators will not benefit financially, however, as local transport costs are included with fair entrance tickets.

The French CIFRA launches two new products from recycled PVC range

The French CIFRA announced at K 2010 the launch of two new products from recycled PVC range. The expanded product range allows you to information provider profile, pipe extruders, injection or more options and greater flexibility. Both recycled rigid PVC composites are characterized thus by a very low density (0.7 and 0.9) as well as by mechanical and UV-resistant properties of the foamed or not foamed PVC recycling are characteristic. Here, the grain size determination be customized. The cellular and recycled rigid PVC compound RecyPVC PEX07 is considered a low temperature, easy to apply formulation presented very low density (0.7) and improved material distribution and good bonding. RecyPVC PEX07 has similar hardness and strength characteristics as standard composites of foamed PVC raw materials. Because of this composition, the CO2 production by 70 percent. The second PVC formulation as a reduced density of 0.9 and should be suitable for processors that require a higher hardness and greater mechanical strength. The properties of PEX09 RecyPVC similar to those of foamed PVC composite raw materials will be used at the same time, however, allow a reduction in CO2 emissions by 60 percent. Michel Py, chairman and founder of the company CIFRA, said: "The processors receive an optimal composite of recycled PVC. This is due to the different levels of MFI, but also reduced to micron-thick PVC, an infrared spectroscopic monitoring and a previous extrusion test. " In addition, CIFRA other processors also its know-how in the utilization of recycled products. Since September of this year CIFRA partner of Green Waste plastic, one of the "Life +" projects of the European Commission. In the company\'s own laboratory, the characteristics of reusable waste to be determined. These will then be used in areas where have been for reasons of traceability and monitoring of any post-consumer products approved. CIFRA was founded in 1989 and claims to include the leading companies in France, producing both rigid PVC composite materials and composite materials that are suitable for specialized and complex processing. Cifra is an active member of the recycling initiative Recovinyl and associations EuPR (European Plastics Recyclers), EuPC (European Plastics Converters) and UCAPLAST (trade union federation of small and medium-sized companies in the rubber and plastics industry).

Starlinger combine FMS technology and woven fabric

Starlinger combine FMS technology and woven fabric .To combine these two successful concepts - on the one hand, the FFS-filling technology for bulk solids, the other packing materials from woven fabric - this challenge Dow, Starlinger and Haver & Boecker have taken on together. Woven fabric is a packaging material stretched plastic tape. Woven fabric bags are insensitive to pressure, fracture and buckling. Even if they are moved by hook or damaged by nails, they break not occur and the valuable content is in the bag. In addition, woven fabric, in comparison to conventional films very thin, making it easy, but is still robust and durable - and with low raw material consumption. What is more, that it is completely recyclable. The FMS technology (Form, Fill & Seal - Form, Fill & Seal) is a fully-automated, cost-effective packaging method for powder, granules, flakes and many other bulk goods. On the filling machine are made of plastic film tube endless bags that are immediately filled with the product and then sealed. The top of the filled bag and the bottom of the next bag to be welded simultaneously. The great advantage of the FFS method is that the bags are closed by welding. FFS machines do not need needles (which can easily break) or yarn (must be actual power again and again). As a result, no thread groups mingle with the medium, and the bags are hermetically sealed, because there are no stitch holes. To date, it was not possible to use tissue from plastic strips on FFS-filling. Through joint Abstrengungen it is now the first woven fabric that was produced on machinery from Starlinger-Dow pellets to use for FFS-filling of Haver & Boecker. The so-called "woven * FFS" technology is specifically aimed at bottling plants in the chemical industry and building material and food industries. The advantages of woven sacks * FFS include: Robust but lightweight packaging material Protection of the packaged goods from all around the sealed, waterproof packaging Thanks to the fully automatic FFS machines from Haver & Boecker, the control activities are limited to roles and format changes. Optimized bags: constant monitoring of the bulk density, and adjust the bag length. Clean blind surfaces and greater safety during transport due to compact filled bags. The lower consumption of raw materials helps to save resources and money. In the development of "woven * FFS" Dow, Starlinger and Haver & Boecker claims to have paid particular attention to making the switch from PET to PE woven fabric for the bottlers as easy as possible. Customers who already have FFS systems of Haver & Boecker, should have to make any major conversions. To take advantage of woven fabric, a few minor changes to the FFS system was needed - and simply using a different material roll. Even companies that have processed so far, due to customer and market requirements, tissue and could therefore not use FFS bottling plants, will now have the opportunity to take advantage of this fully automatic, cost-packaging concept. The high production capacity of the facilities and the time and cost savings in operation and maintenance would mean that the investment pay off in this new system in a short time. The new packaging concept is presented for the first time at K 2010. Source : plasticker.de

LDPE manufacturer is expanding production to 2013

The Russian petrochemical group Salavatnefteorgsintez will increase the production of LDPE. The company is therefore currently working on a new plant to be completed by the end of 2013. This is the current annual production capacity increased by 66 percent to 200,000 tons, reports the international plastics portal eplastics. "We have the necessary financial resources and credit for this investment," said the Director-General Damir Szawalejew. The total cost for this investment, which extends over five years amount, reported to 100 billion rubles (2.4 billion euros). To the Group's products include styrene, which is used in the manufacture of packaging plastics. Similarly, the Russians produce ethylene, which is a basis in the production of PVC. Corporate gifts, according Salavatnefteorgsintez is one of the largest petrochemical companies in Russia. Source : plasticker.de

BASF engineering plastics for solar technology

Engineering plastics from Ultramid ® Family (PA), BASF offers solutions for plugs and sockets of photovoltaic systems. Photovoltaic systems, also called solar systems to be treated as electrical systems and must therefore also with respect to the approval of their connection technology to meet high requirements. For the plugs and sockets of these plants, BASF can now offer special versions of the Ultramid ®, which not only flame retardant and highly resistant, but also very cold impact are: A property that is important for the life of the plants from wind and weather. In contactors, circuit breakers or bobbins, classical E & E applications, these special stamps are used for many years. The Huber + Suhner, a leading global manufacturer of systems for electrical and optical connectivity with headquarters in Pfäffikon, Switzerland, used according to BASF already Ultramid ® type connectors in their latest generation of solar systems. "We decided very early on for its powerful and reliable material because it facilitates the production of our high-efficiency photovoltaic devices," said Max Goeldi, product unit manager at Huber + Suhner in Pfäffikon. Depending on the requirements - for connectors or sockets For the indication photovoltaic connectors BASF offers mainly Ultramid ® A3X2G7. This material is particularly rigid, so that the plugs can be very lean and still fulfill the high requirements. For example, to reach Ultramid ® A3X2G7 the UL-V0 with a wall thickness of 0.8 mm and 5VA at 1.5 mm. For outlets of solar systems, BASF Ultramid ® A3XZG5 recommends, however. While required in the damp heat test only 1000 hours, offer the high-impact-modified Ultramid ® grade even after 4000 hours air storage at 85 ° C and 85% humidity of a stretch, which is twice as high as the previously used materials. In addition, junction boxes were made of this material with the challenging Cold Impact test according to UL 1703 easily done. This exam components if they have at minus 35 ° C after the impact of a good 500 g ball of 1.3 m height of cracks and damage. The prescribed fire protection classification UL 5VA Ultramid ® A3XZG5 fill from 2.3 mm. Both polyamide-types are also after the interest to the solar technology f1-weathering test (UL) certification. It requires that the fire rating of the product after 1000 hours Xenon UV weathering and after seven days of water storage does not change. Strength and impact toughness after irradiation must achieve at least 70% of its initial value. This package provides the special BASF Ultramid grades well prepared for the growing market for solar technology. Initial parts will be on display at the plastics trade fair K 2010 in Dusseldorf.
