Key points:
-- Built-in value to the construction sector: INEOS Styrolution will
highlight its Luran(®) grades aimed at enhancing the performance of
construction applications: Luran HH-120 Q530: a powdered alpha methyl
styrene acrylonitrile (AMSAN) grade offering improved heat deflection
temperature in PVC compounds; Luran S 757 G: an acrylonitrile styrene
acrylate (ASA) grade with excellent flowability and easy processability,
making it easy for thinner wall parts injection; Luran S 757 RE: an
excellent replacement material for PVC with good weather ability, heat
resistance and chemical resistance properties that are helpful for
indoor and outdoor decoration; Luran S 777 K: a well-balanced ASA with
good flowability and easy processability helping extruded sheet
manufacturers to produce wider roofing.
-- Versatile polymer solutions for the healthcare segment: INEOS
Styrolution will showcase IV tubes made of styrene-butadiene block
copolymer resins (SBC/S-TPE) like Styrolux(®) and Styroflex(®). These
grades feature the right material properties for flexible applications
like IV tubing, multi-lumen, and coextruded tubings. Their
processability and high flowability as well as the excellent
transparency make them a suitable material solution. In addition, a
newly developed SBC grade intended for drip chambers will also be
featured. This innovative material solution offers an outstanding
bonding performance and excellent processability with highest quality
standards. The excellent flow properties allow customers to use more
cavities for injection molding and reduce cycle times.
-- Offering high aesthetic appeal and quality for the automotive industry:
As a leading styrenic material solution provider, INEOS Styrolution will
feature its Luran S 778T SPF30, which offers intrinsic properties, such
as superior ultra-violet (UV) stability, dimensional strength, and
impact and moisture resistance, offering automotive customers
flexibility of design and premium aesthetic value. This Luran S grade
offers a stable surface for precision foil application and adhesion.
Unlike chrome plating, the use of hot stamp foil eliminates the need to
mask the entire front grill. Without this surface property, it would
have been impossible to precision apply the foil to achieve the desired
diamond-like appearance.
-- Providing distinctive visual packaging options: INEOS Styrolution will
illustrate its latest grades which combine the best attributes of clear
plastic to produce a distinctive visual package: Styrolux: a
styrene-butadiene block copolymer (SBC) grade offering excellent
shrinkage rates, high clarity, print quality and better cost savings;
NAS(®) 30 and Luran SAN W: premium choice for rigid applications with
good chemical resistance, sparkling clarity, high stiffness, superior
processability and compliant with FDA and EU food contact regulations.
-- Styrenic enhancements for the electronics industry: Powering innovation
in electronics, INEOS Styrolution will show outdoor communication device
made of Luran S (ASA) and innovative LED applications utilizing NAS 30
(SMMA). Both materials provide significant value to this industry due to
their excellent appearance and performance characteristics.
-- The home of the future: INEOS Styrolution materials combine durability
with aesthetically pleasing appearance for many household items.
Supporting innovation in the household industry, INEOS Styrolution will
showcase appliances suitable for food contact made of NAS, Zylar(®),
Clearblend(®), Luran SAN C and Luran 386R, as well as fridge liners
produced with Novodur(®) 595CP.
In addition, INEOS Styrolution executives will be on hand to discuss future business strategies, key industry trends and the outlook of the styrenics market.
