international food brand
nestl has launched two of its
most popular Brazilian milk
brands in tetraPak cartons
ftted with injection moulded
closures produced in
Braskems renewably-sourced
HdPe.
From August of the this
year, the company has been
using the new closures on its
ninho and Molico UHt milk
products.
Brazilian petrochemical
company Braskem manufac-
tures its renewable HdPe
using ethylene derived from
sugar cane ethanol. it claims
that each kg of resin produced
removes up to 2.5kg of co

Austrian injection machinery
maker engel has reached an
agreement with trexel
allowing it to build and deliver
worldwide complete turnkey
Mucell microcellular foam
injection moulding systems.
the agreement allows
engel to fully integrate the
Mucell systems, which will
continue to be supplied by
trexel, with its own machine
and controller hardware. it
says this will make the system
much easier to use than
previously.
According to engel head of
sales technologies Michael

carton closures
produces the bio-based
ethylene at a 220,000tpa
production unit at its triunfo
petrochemicals complex in the
state of rio Grande do Sul,
which began operation last
year.
tetraPak was one of the
frst companies to commit to
using the Braskem polymer
back in 2009.
l in a separate move,
Braskem has signed an
agreement with German
bioplastics compounding
specialist FKur. the deal
allows FKur up to develop a
range of high value Pe

Polymer materials group Sabic is to take a stake in inPro, a
German collaborative innovation joint venture inititative that
already counts daimler, Siemens, thyssen Krupp and Volkswagen
among its backers.
located in Berlin and part funded by the state government,
inPro develops technologies for lightweight manufacturing and
zero-defect vehicle production. it is especially active in the area of
electric and hybrid vehicles.
today, more than ever before, breakthrough innovation is only
possible through an ecosystem of interdependent industry leaders
who know how to work together across the global value chain,
said Sabic general manager of innovation joachim von Heimburg
at the announcement of the investment.
the transaction is expected to close before the end of 2011.

BASF has established a new
lightweight composites team
to focus on development of
new applications for the

while the core focus for the
new composites development
unit will be on more traditional
resin transfer moulding (rtM)
applications, the company said
in a statement the group will
also be exploring use of
continuous fbre reinforced
mats and structures within
over-moulded thermoplastics

facility will house
up to 24 all-electric
moulding machines up to
350 tonnes clamp force and
will produce components
for the computer and
electronics industries.
the company said in a
statement the site will be
equipped with an on-site
mould shop that will be
capable of taking on
maintenance and engineer-
ing repairs and will be
equipped to take on multi-

Product Information Sheet


New & Improved DYNA-PURGE

M
Most versatile & widely used in the Plastics Industry
DYNA-PURGE M is a versatile non-abrasive, non-chemical engineered thermoplastic
purging compound, formulated to flow naturally through the barrel and hot runner
system of the injection molding machine, as well as extrusion equipment. Two non-
melting but softening thermoplastic ingredients scrub, while an exclusive proprietary
additive helps to remove any contamination without leaving a residue.


FEATURES & BENEFITS:

Developed for color changes, resin changes, preventative machine maintenance and
before manual cleaning

Excellent for purging through hot runner systems with a minimum clearance of
.030 inch (.75 mm)

Effective through a wide temperature range 350F to 600F(177C to 315C)

Easy to use no process adjustment necessary use at the resident resin processing
temperature and RPM speed

Non-abrasive, non-melting but softening thermoplastic, which thoroughly loosens
carbonized and degraded resin, allowing it to be flushed out of the system

Safe, non-hazardous, with no chemicals ingredients are FDA compliant

Heat stable recommended during shutdown and start-up

Low cost-per-purge only small quantity needed to be effective

No mixing required simply use as is

Unlimited shelf life

Dyna-Purge has been the top performing purging compound for over 30 years! Our product line offers
superior cleaning and economic value over in-house methods and other commercial purges. We invite
you to sample Dyna-Purge at no charge, so you can prove it to yourself.

Please refer to Suggested Purging Procedures for processing information
and Grade Selection Guide regarding additional products.

Types of Resins: All
Minimum Clearance: .030 inch or .75 mm
Amount of Purge: 1 to 2 times barrel capacity(actual amount needed depends

Norner provide technology projects
and support to the industry. We
follow the long traditions of being,
an important partner for the whole
plastic value chain.
We support customers directly
with their required testing and we
strive to make a difference for the
industry.
Plastic product failures do occur.
Failures due to poor material
selection or poor design can be
avoided by understanding how
the material is infuenced by the
operational environment.
Fatigue testingis one of many tests
Norner offer that can be used to
predict the life time of components
or screen fatigue properties of
materials. The infuence of heat,
chemicals, different climates and
UV radiation on fatigue properties
can also be studied.

DuPont holds on for process gains
DuPont is using Fakuma to
show off its process technology
innovations, including a new
mould pressure holding
system and its proprietary 2K
moulding method for creating
seals on PA parts (pictured).
In Mould Hold Pressure
(IMHP) was developed to help
moulders reduce overall cycle
times by making it possible to
hold mould pressures while
dosing takes place.
According to researchers at
the companys European HQ in
Switzwerland, this can result
in cycle time reductions of up
to 30% when processing semi-
crystalline polymers that
typically require a constant and
lengthy hold-on pressure
profle to accommodate
cooling shrinkage. It is most
effective with thick wall parts
that require more than 50% of
the available screw volume,
says the company.
DuPonts 2K multi-
component moulding
technology considerably
simplifes the challenging
process required to apply
seals produced in its Vamac
ethylene acrylic elastomer or
Viton fuoroelastomer to parts
moulded in its Zytem PA resins.
At the show, visitors to the
Dupont stand will be able to see
an electronic connector
produced by Dana Corporation
in a rigid Zytel PA66 grade with
a permanently bonded Vamac
fexible seal. Dana is the frst
company to license the DuPont
process technology, which
eliminates the need to prime
the part to achieve adhesion.

nys latest microprocessor-

software for use with its
Somos drying range.
The system allows the
companys Somos D dry air
dryer to be operated
effciently with a number of
different sized drying
hoppers.
The software is designed
to monitor up to 10 drying
hoppers, each of which can
operate two conveying units
(one for flling the hopper
and one for loading the
machine).
Mann+Hummel Protec
will also be showing a

just, for instance, allows the
operator to modify the
dynamics of mould movement,
ejector operation or injection
pressure switching for the
specifc production job using a
simple on-screen slider.
A fully automated
production cell for two-pin
automotive electrical plug
casings will head up the
machine exhibits. Assembled
around a 100 tonne IntElect all-
electric machine, the cell uses
a four-cavity hot runner mould
from Fischer and an SDR beam
robot integrated into the NC5
controller.
A 200 tonne machine from
the El-Exis SP series will be
producing fully-covered IML
containers on a 3s cycle. The
machine is equipped with a
two-cavity Marbach mould and
automation system that
precisely positions and
overlaps the sleeve and base
labels in the mould to achieve
full surface coverage.

Energy effcient hot runners
heaters means the BlueFlow
nozzles are considerably
thinner than conventional
alternatives. However, Gnther
says an even bigger beneft of
the technology is that it brings
the heater element closer to
the plastic, allowing more
accurate and energy effcient
temperature regulation.
Side by side tests carried
out by Gnther against
traditional nozzles show
energy savings of more than
30% in typical injection
moulding applications.
