SABIC introduces automotive grades with mechanically recycled content

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2021-09-07 Editor ：JK

SABIC introduced its first automotive grades containing mechanically recycled content within its TRUCIRCLE portfolio of circular solutions and services. The new resins are SABIC T2E-3320EH PP compound, a high-flow, low-emission, talc-filled PP; XENOY T2NX2500UV resin, an unfilled, UV-stabilized blend of PC and PET; and XENOY T2NX5230 resin, a mineral-filled PC/PET blend.

All three materials contain up to 29% recycled content and offer very good performance similar to that of the incumbent virgin resins, giving automotive customers new options that can help them address their sustainability goals.

“The new TRUCIRCLE materials support the automotive industry’s sustainability initiatives by providing an opportunity to extend the life of plastic waste and helping to increase value from post-consumer products,” said Abdullah Al-Otaibi, general manager, ETP & Market Solutions, SABIC. “These new products are the first of many SABIC resins to be introduced with mechanically recycled content for potential use in interior and exterior automotive applications.”

These three grades support various new automotive applications. SABIC T2E-3320EH PP compound features stiffness, low emissions and high heat resistance for non-visible heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) components within the instrument panel and interior and under-the-hood parts.

SABIC’s new automotive grades contain up to 29% mechanically recycled content.

An internal life cycle assessment (LCA) showed SABIC T2E-3320EH PP compound offers a reduced product carbon footprint of up to 24% compared to the corresponding virgin PP compound because it incorporates 25 percent recycled PP.

SABIC’s XENOY T2NX2500UV resin contains 21% recycled PET. It provides very good heat and impact performance, dimensional stability and low shrinkage for painted exterior body panels, spoilers, fuel filler doors and trim. It is also UV stabilized for potential use in unpainted applications.

SABIC’s LCA data indicates this grade lowers global warming potential (GWP) by 11% and cumulative energy demand (CED) by 12% vs. virgin material.

SABIC’s XENOY T2NX5230 resin contains 16% mineral reinforcement and 29% recycled PET. Similar to XENOY T2NX2500UV resin, it delivers properties that make it a potential solution for painted body panels, trim and other components.

The product’s reinforcement delivers higher stiffness and a lower coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CLTE) compared to XENOY T2NX2500UV resin, making XENOY T2NX5230 resin suitable for roof spoilers and exterior trim. Both XENOY grades offer high flow for improved throughput.
