ELIX PC/ABS E-LOOP 5120 MR and ELIX PC/ABS E-LOOP 5130 MR

Description

In line with ELIX’s commitment to mitigate climate change and foster a sustainable plastics system with a clear focus on circularity and the efficient use of resources, new products are continuously being added to the E-LOOP portfolio based on mechanically recycled products.

Within the PC/ABS family, ELIX Polymers has developed two new mechanically recycled grades: E-LOOP 5120 MR and E-LOOP 5130 MR. High quality and safety of supply have been two of the main objectives during these developments.

E-LOOP 5120 MR and E-LOOP 5130 MR have equivalent properties to that of their virgin versions ELIX PC/ABS 5120 and ELIX PC/ABS 5130, with the benefit of replacing part of the fossil-based resources with circular resources, achieving a significant reduction of its carbon footprint.


SOLUTIONS

Typical Application

Automotive interior parts (dark colours): Door components, instrument panel parts, seating parts, centre console trim.

Automotive exterior parts: Front grills, pillars, rear light housing, car antenna.

Coffee machines, kitchen aids.

Electrical switches, distribution boards, power sets.

R+D concept

The aim of our project is to offer top-of-the-line sustainable solutions in our markets, targeting in this case high demanding applications that require the use of PC/ABS grades.

Market Field

Automotive, small appliances, E&E.

Features

  • PC/ABS materials with mechanically recycled content
  • Technical datasheet and Moldflow characterisation (Gold/gold/gold + CRIMS) available
  • High flow grades with good processing stability and surface finishing
  • Very high thermal and impact resistance
  • Same quality approach than ELIX standard grades coming from fossil feedstocks

Benefits

  • Circular products with the same level of functionality in customer applications as virgin materials
  • Significant carbon footprint reduction in comparison with virgin PC/ABS 5120 and PC/ABS 5130 grades (studies performed according to ISO 14040-44)
  • Excellent balance between flow and mechanical properties, allowing thin-walled parts and long flow-length applications.
  • Compliance with several OEM standards and requirements
