Smart Molding International 2-2025

49 www.smart-molding.com materials At the stand, visitors will discover parts developed with a new physical recycling technology (dissolution), which is the result of a collaborative project between AUDI AG, the Fraunhofer Institute and DOMO. In the pilot project, both PA6 and PA66-based applications have been successfully molded using a 30% recycled PCR from end-of-life vehicles, meeting OEM requirements. “We offer the broadest sustainable polyamide portfolio on the market, supported by local application expertise that helps customers integrate recycled materials into their specific applications,” says Juha Jokinen, CCO of DOMO Engineered Materials. DOMAMID® MBB: Moving towards net-zero In a milestone for climate-neutral innovation, DOMO will present DOMAMID® MBB – a mass-balanced, bio-attributed PA6 with up to 69% bio-attributed content and ISCC PLUS certification. “These materials achieve a significant CO₂ reduction compared to fossil-based alternatives,” says Vedran Kujundzic, CCO of DOMO Polymers & Intermediates. “They are ideal for food and pharma packaging, textiles, and engineering plastics.” Lightweighting: Enabling new mobility Sustainable mobility begins with lighter components. DOMO’s booth will highlight: • A one-piece gas-molded bicycle handlebar using a TECHNYL® com- pound in combination with UD tapes reinforcements for Canyon in collaboration with ENGEL • A child car seat that combines lightweight design, safety, and sustainability • A hybrid bonding solution enabling optimal adhesion of polyamides to metals developed for Sogefi Air & Cooling Reinventing safety in e-mobility and electronics As electrification accelerates, so do safety demands. DOMO will showcase for the first time: • New TECHNYL STAR® halogen-free FR solutions for EV battery modules and busbars • A breakthrough material for battery housing applications • Advanced developments in halogen- free flame-retardant solutions for electrical and electronics applications under the TECHNYL® PROTECT brand I n a dd i t i on , S i eme n s Sma r t Infrastructure and DOMO Chemicals have recently introduced Siemens’ first residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) made with sustainable TECHNYL® 4EARTH® polyamide, which contains 50% chemically recycled content and delivers identical performance and quality to conventional materials. This UL-certified material, developed by DOMO, enables Siemens to significantly reduce the environmental impact of its SENTRON 5SV3 RCCBs while maintaining the highest safety and quality standards. Smarter water management DOMO’s advanced polyamides help reduce costs, enhance system reliability, and promote sustainability in water infrastructure. At K 2025, DOMO will showcase TECHNYL® SAFE, certified for food and drinking water contact - now available for use in household, water meter, and sanitary applications. Proven leadership in sustainability DOMO’s progress toward its 2030 sustainability goals will soon be published in its Sustainability Report. Key highlights include: • EcoVadis Platinum rating in 2024, moving from Silver to Platinum in two years • More than 10% of Engineered Materials sales from circular and bio- based materials • Significant gains in renewable energy, water efficiency, and energy intensity improvement.
