Compounder adds three new engineering grades to portfolio / Varying levels of recycled content possible
— By Plasteurope.com correspondent —
German compounder Pal Plast (Mühlheim; www.palplast.de) said it has expanded its portfolio with new ABS, PBT, and PA 6.6 grades.
The company is adding an electrically conductive ABS grade, branded Palran Statec, to its existing Palran portfolio – the second such material following the introduction of its Palprop Statec polypropylene compounds in October last year.
The new material features “outstanding electrical properties”, combining impact resistance and high mechanical stability with good processability, according to Pal Plast. It adds that the characteristics of the ABS grade open up new applications, making note of transport containers for sensitive components in particular.
Pal Plast is also adding new PBT grades to its Paldur portfolio. As part of the company’s Prime-Recompounds range, the new types can be made with virgin materials or with varying levels of recyclate according to customer specifications, a company spokesperson said.
