New mechanically recycled E-LOOP H801 MR grade

Solution

ELIX ABS E-LOOP H801 MR

Description

Mechanical recycling represents an essential part of the circular economy, which transforms plastic waste into raw materials that are reintroduced into the manufacturing process to create new mechanically recycled plastic materials.

As another milestone in its circular economy strategy, ELIX Polymers has developed the mechanically recycled ABS E-LOOP H801 MR grade, an ABS modified with recycled PC

This grade has been extensively characterized, showing equivalent properties to the prime material ELIX ABS H801, which is well-known in the automotive industry for high requirement interior and exterior applications, fulfilling several OEM standards. This is in line with ELIX´s commitment to provide innovative up-cycling solutions that preserve the functionality of end customer applications in our ABS markets.

E-LOOP H801 MR offers a more sustainable solution which replaces fossil-based resources with circular and sustainable feedstocks, in addition to reducing the carbon footprint of the product.

Typical Application

Automotive interior parts (dark colours): Door components, instrument panel parts.

Automotive exterior parts: Front grills, exterior painted trim, pillars, spoilers.

R+D concept

Our project aim is to offer top-of-the-line sustainable solutions in our markets, promoting the transformation of the value chain towards a circular economy model.

Market Field

Automotive.

Features

ABS/PC material with recycled content

Technical datasheet available, showing equivalent properties to the H801 virgin material

Moldflow characterization (Gold/gold/gold + CRIMS) available

Same quality approach as ELIX standard grades from fossil feedstocks

Already tested by global tiers, with successful results in injection moulding, painting and metallization processes

Benefits

More sustainable solution, replacing fossil-based raw materials with circular feedstocks

Significant carbon footprint reduction compared to virgin ABS H801 (calculations performed in accordance with ISO 14067)

High impact resistance at room temperature and at low temperatures

Excellent balance between thermal resistance (VST 105°C) and mechanical properties

Compliance with several OEM standards and requirements
