PROJECT

GF filled chair in PP for the off-shore industries. Customer introduces a unique new brand extension for the offshore application. Ships/marine and oil platforms mainly.

SELLING POINTS

Mechanical properties – retained stiffness and flexibility so that the chair will not break when used. Fulfilment of the IMO standard of EN5660 – cone calorimetric testing. Value <200kW/m2 heat release.

COMMENTS

Added benefit of Paxymer is that the MB can be used as a drop in component when FR is required straight into the injection moulding machine. Purchasing rational and production flexibility.

PROJECT

PP conduits rigid and corrugated. 1) Standard dimensions targeting the green building market and LEED and BREEAM high profile projects. Line extension. 2) Larger dimensions of pipe. 110 mm OD rigid and corrugated pipe. Single and twin layer.

SELLING POINTS

1) Unique product on the market. Opens up profile projects. 2) New products for them. Better price/performance. No solution available on the market today.

COMMENTS

Standard: EN-61386

Project

HDPE conduits single wall and co-extruded. Self-extinguishing properties for the telecom market.

Selling points:

Mechanical properties in combination with processing properties and flame retardant. Paxymer is the only material available for HDPE with similar mechanical properties according to customer. End-user is European telecom industries. Potentially very large volumes.

Comments

Standard: EN61386 or V0 (different for different customers)

Project

PP stadium seats that need to fulfil specific FR requirements and UV requirements.

Selling points:

Aging properties of Paxymer, compatibility with colours and UV stabilizers. Excellent process ability and mechanical properties.

Comments

Customer has been looking for such a solution for more than five years and found no other product that meets mechanical properties and sufficient process ability.

Burning standard: Specific seat standard.

Project

Various applications. Fulfilling FR requirements with products that have good possibility for finishing work. One example is a cable list that is extruded and drilled with a number of holes for drawing of cables in busses.

Selling points:

Paxymer retains flexibility. A brittle material will cause too much scrap in the production and destroy the calculation.

Comments

Standard: FMVSS-302 with burning speed of <102 mm/min

Project

Flooring for trade fair floors. The floors will be used and reused again and again – a stiff or brittle material will break.

Selling points:

Mechanical properties in combination with a specific flame retardant standard. Customer feedback was ”we barely see a difference in mechanical properties when comparing Paxymer filled material with our virgin PP material”.

Comments

Burning requirement: Cfl EN13501

Project

HDPE sheets that are process able and vacuum mouldable. Absolute requirement is completely halogen-free. End application is condensation protection for wind turbines.

Selling points:

Process ability and temperature stability of the compound. Mechanical properties of the final compound. Paxymer is the only product that fulfils the requirements. Significant volumes.

Comments

Customer tried a Kafrit compound and they deteriorated processing and mechanical requirements of the product.

UL94 V0 at 3.2 mm.

Project

FR HDPE for blow moulding. End application white goods – washing machine.

Selling points:

Paxymer is the only solution that meets the smoke criteria with sufficient process ability.

Comments

Specific standard for white goods.

Project

V0 PP for engine compartment to improve safety.

Selling points:

Process ability. Paxymer is the only available FR PP Blow moulded that can be produced with a V0 requirement.

Comments

1.5 m large blow moulded pipe. Research project with a truck manufacturer.

UL94 V0 at 3.2 fulfilled.

Project

Injection moulded small details for electrical conduits and connectors.

Selling points:

Halogen free compound. Certified in BVB and BASTA (Green building certifications) as “Recommended”

Comments

GWFI 850°C

Project

New scaffolding platforms. Wood is increasingly banned in Europe for safety reasons. Aluminium is expensive and volatile. This is a new hybrid approach.

Selling points:

Process ability, low impact on mechanical properties and environmental aspects as added benefit.

Comments

Main protection is against sabotage.

Project

Rack for carrying tubes for fire fighters.

Selling points:

Process ability. Strict flame retardant requirement especially non-dripping and smoke composition. Compatibility with colours.

Comments

Project

Welding mask for 3M. Low cost product extension. Switching from PA to PP.

Selling points:

Cost savings from PA. Process ability. Very specific mechanical properties – drop tests and shooting tests. Fulfils flammability requirements. Recyclability and environmental profile was added benefit.
