Mocom is expanding its extensive TPV portfolio with a new Eco product line. The TPV (PP+EPDM) grades grouped under the name Alfater XL Eco are based on high-quality post-industrial recyclates and/or renewable raw materials, and offer a resource-saving solution for flexible technical applications.
“Sustainability plays a vital role in our commercial success as part of the long-term growth strategy of the Otto Krahn Group. This strategy is being rigorously implemented and continued with Alfater XL Eco,” says Dr. Stefan Zepnik, Director of the Mocom Technical Service Center.
Alfater XL Eco is available in various Shore hardnesses (soft to hard) and can be processed with all standard techniques, including injection moulding, extrusion, extrusion blow molding, and press blow molding (Ossberger process). The materials combine sustainability with the familiar TPV properties, such as a low compression set even at high temperatures and good heat aging resistance. In addition, they demonstrate very good bonding to polyolefins, such as PE and PP, and to elastomers, such as TPV or TPO, in accordance with VDI 2019.
The new grades are suitable for the manufacture of automotive components, including under-the-hood or exterior parts. Sample applications include boots, air ducts, bushings, grommets, plugs, and sheaths. Further potential applications can be found in a diverse range of industries, for example in profiles, seals, casters, dampers and protectors, grips, and soft-touch applications.
Another Near-To-Prime recycling product line in the Mocom portfolio is Altech Eco. These recycling-based compounds are available in PA66, PA6, PC, PC-Blends, ABS and PP polymers.
