...e film is going to be available in a wide range of metallic and other colour effects, and will thereby support new trends in automotive design. Sollx film technology has been developed from the first generation of self-coloured PC/PBT blends (grade: Xenoy) from GE plastics, which themselves represented a significant advance for automotive designers. The substitution of thermoplastics for metals led to significant advantages. The use of PC/PBT blends not only achieves a weight reduction, but the ...

...echnology Manager for Crystalline Products, stressed that the company is involved in several research projects. Environmentally friendly innovations and progressive technologies are not mutually exclusive, as shown by Valox-iQ (PBT) and Xenoy-iQ (PC/PBT blend). Manufacturing these products, up to 85 % of raw materials based on chemically recycled PET is used. The new Sabic IP technology is able to turn PET particles, such as are obtained from recycled PET bottles, into monomers f...

Sabic Innovative Plastics and other businesses still search for possible technologies for this difficult environmental problem. Examples from recent examples are Valox iQ and Xenoy iQ, the polyester PC, PET and PBT based on recycled material and their blends by Sabic Innovative Plastics. These products use PBT, in which 85% of the chemicals used in a patented chemical process are recovered from recycled PET bottles and fi...

At the K, Sabic from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, presented the polyester-based material Xenoy HTX for such skirts. The material originates from the company’s Xenoy series, and is available as unreinforced and glass fiber-reinforced version. In order to demonstrate the material’s performance, the company showed the 3D-printed prototype of a side...
