At Fakuma 2024, LyondellBasell will showcase its extensive range of polymer solutions across various industries, including Automotive, Packaging, Household Appliances, and Sports and Leisure.

For automotive interior and exterior

Hostacom foaming material is produced with state-of-the-art catalyst technology, which enhances the rheology of the polypropylene (PP) polymer matrix. This advanced PP compound allows injection molding of lightweight parts with enhanced surface textures, scratch-resistance, and low emissions, such as interior door panels for automotive.

LyondellBasell will also present CirculenRecover polypropylene (PP) compound that contains 20% recycled PP from mechanically recycled post-industrial waste. It features a mold-in-color special effect with particles that emphasize the recycled content, providing automotive exterior parts a unique and appealing look.

As a mono-material solution, it streamlines production by eliminating extra steps, enhancing design efficiency, and improving the potential recyclability of parts.

For EV, battery and charging facility

LyondellBasell provides a comprehensive portfolio of engineered polymers to meet stringent standards, for strength, stiffness, weatherability, and aesthetics, from exterior door outers to door inners, and from housings to sealings.

The advanced polymer pioneer also provides thermoplastic resins and compounds and thermoset composite solutions to address challenges in EV battery systems, enhancing the performance of the battery enclosures and battery modules to thermal management and electrical systems.

Polymer solutions from LyondellBasell can also overcome mechanical and electrical hurdles in EV charging stations, ensuring components withstand various conditions and power loads. LyondellBasell has a diverse polymer portfolio, from thermoplastic resins to thermoset composites, for EV supply equipment assemblies.

rPET packaging with aesthetic

Polybatch Effects FROST transforms rPET packaging with a stunning matte frost effect while maintaining recyclability through NIR sorting compatibility. This solution can be used in existing ISBM processes without requiring tool changes.

These additives are food contact compliant and can be seamlessly integrated with various colors or other additives to achieve a high-end, sophisticated look for food and cosmetics industries.
