New tank construction material with PE100 RC

With Polystone® G CubX®, Röchling Engineering Plastics SE & Co. KG of Haren, Germany, has now developed the first variant of its tank construction sheet Polystone® CubX® with cover sheets made of PE100 RC. This is Röchling's response to the request of many customers for a variant having covers made of polyethylene. Polystone® G CubX® has been developed especially for applications, in which PE has to be used as a tank material because of aggressive chemicals, or where connecting pipes, installed equipment or entire plant components have to be made of PE.

Stabilizers for high-quality polyolefin recyclates

Brüggemann and Fraunhofer LBF have joined forces to successfully tackle one of the seemingly insurmountable problems of plastics recycling. During their lifetime, plastic articles are subjected to thermal oxidation and photo-oxidation, which can create enough damage to prevent them from being recycled into high-quality products. In order to overcome this problem, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF, Darmstadt, have developed new stabilizer systems to improve the properties of polyolefin recyclates, especially those made of polypropylene and polyethylene.
