October 12 2017 - 5:07PM
A. Schulman, Inc. (Nasdaq:SHLM) a leading international
supplier of high-performance plastic compounds, composites,
powders, and resins, will present its latest product innovation at
PLASTIMAGEN MÉXICO
® 2017 on November 7-10, 2017 in
Mexico City, Mexico. A. Schulman will exhibiting in Booth #122,
where the Company will showcase one of the widest portfolios of the
Latin American compounders including engineered composites,
thermoplastics, color and additive concentrates as well as
rotomolding and technical powders.
“We are excited to present our latest, innovative products which
address our customers’ key needs in terms of better materials
processing, productivity and sustainability,” said Gustavo Perez,
senior vice president and general manager, Latin America. “Our
extensive knowledge of the Latin American plastics industry coupled
with our technical capabilities and wide product portfolio makes
us, A. Schulman, a true partner to develop the materials in need in
today’s marketplace.”
The Company will present the following new developments:
- For niche automotive applications, the Company provides a broad
range of polyamide 6 and 66 Schulamid® RD compounds. These
solutions have reduced density relying on a special set of resins
while maintaining similar levels of mechanical and thermal
properties. As a drop-in substitution for regular nylon compounds,
it provides the same shrinkage, processing parameters and
easy-to-produce characteristics with the advantage of reduced
drying time before molding. The new grades are available with
different levels of glass fiber (GF) reinforcement ranging from GF
15 to GF 30.
- Also for the automotive market, A. Schulman provides a
portfolio of polypropylene Polyfort® RD compounds with reduced
density and added low-density filler that imparts dimensional
stability and similar molding shrinkage to the equivalent filled
polypropylene compound. The materials present long-term heat
stabilization and weathering resistance. The color matching
capabilities for Polyfort® RD are also available in Latin America.
These materials allow the weight reduction of structural parts up
to 10%. The current active grades are available both as
polypropylene homopolymers and copolymers. This new reduced density
portfolio offers OEMs the material to improve the vehicle’s energy
efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- In the area of agricultural films, the Company offers
Polybatch® AC masterbatch which allows growers to produce higher
crop yields, eliminate most crop diseases and prevent over
pigmentation of the crops through the use of UV blocking
masterbatch based on nano-metallic oxides.
- A. Schulman’s Engineered Composites business presents its
latest development, LYTEX™ SF, an epoxy-based
material presenting low out gassing, reduced volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions and low odor. This next generation
compound also is simple to process, providing the ability to lower
overall system costs.
In addition, A. Schulman, Inc., has entered an alliance with
Braskem, the largest resin producer in the Americas, to produce and
market a new green polyethylene application geared for improving
the rotomolding market. A. Schulman will offer the new solution
under the brand “I’m Green™” which refers to the reduced greenhouse
gas emissions the new material will help customers to achieve.
