Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, will feature at the Chinaplas 2017 exhibition a series of novel technologies and products dedicated to helping the electrical & electronics, agriculture, consumer goods and automotive industries achieve greater performance and sustainability through new colors and capabilities.
The importance of reform was emphasized as one of the enablers to drive local economic growth in a number of key industries. In agriculture, for instance, the supply of quality, environmentally more compatible agricultural products was highlighted, along with a stronger focus given on achieving top quality and performance in consumer goods in order to drive stronger domestic demand and, in turn, sustained economic growth. The importance of sustained green development was also attached to the electrical & electronics and automotive industries, where sources of pollution and impact on the environment must be reduced continuously.
Under shift towards a greener economy in China, more businesses in China are looking to enhance the performance and sustainability of their products. Clariant has made sustainability a key element of its business approach, from product design to end disposal, without compromising on performance.
At Chinaplas 2017, Clariant will showcase how its specialty chemical products and solutions provide appealing functionality, in addition to sustaining product safety and environmental compatibility for customers in the electrical & electronics, agriculture, consumer goods, and automotive industries in China.
One of the product highlights at Chinaplas 2017 for electrical & electronics industry is Exolit OP® 1400, non-halogenated flame retardant, offering enhanced thermal stability for polyamides, enabling complex injection molded parts to be manufactured at high processing temperatures. It is suitable for hot and humid environments and has been awarded the Clariant EcoTain® label for outstanding sustainability and best-in-class performance. EcoTain® labeled products have undergone a systematic, in-depth screening process using 36 criteria in all three sustainability dimensions: social, environmental and economic.
Licomont® NaV 101 and Licomont CaV 102 are excellent processing aids for polyester and polyamide compounds, making production more efficient due to their excellent combination of nucleation and lubrication properties and thus reducing cycle time in injection molding applications significantly. In addition, they provide excellent mold release and help ensuring products’ smooth surfaces.
Three structurally halogen-free new dyes Solvaperm® Yellow 6G, Solvaperm Orange R and Solvaperm Blue GN that comply with key international regulations, were added to its pigment portfolio specifically for engineering plastics coloration.
Small-lot compounds for engineering plastics (EP) and high-temperature resins (HTR) produced locally at Clariant’s China facilities, help save time in production pipeline, thereby significantly reducing logistics and importation costs.
"The wide range of engineering resins and high-temperature materials in small-lot compounds, together with our locally-produced masterbatches in China, will save a considerable amount of time for our customers in their production pipeline, while reducing significantly costs involved in logistics and transportation from importation overseas," said Peter Dufour, Senior Business Development Director, EP-HTR, Clariant Masterbatches Business Unit.
