ELIX Polymers Receive Approval from Premium Automotive OEM for Anti-Squeak Materials

  • New grades reduce undesirable noises
  • New possibilities have been offered to significantly cut down costs
  • They are in line with ELIX’s focus on specialty added value products

ELIX Polymers has developed a range of speciality grades of ABS and PC/ABS to reduce the squeaking and rattling sounds that are generated by plastic parts making contact with other plastic parts, leather, PVC-foil or other products. These undesirable noises can negatively affect the driver’s comfort as well as their perception of the quality of a car. Especially with the increase in popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles whose powertrains make less noise, anti-squeak materials are more often required by Automotive OEMs to produce critical interior parts like door handles, armrests, seating parts, sunroofs, cupholders and air vents. Several ELIX products have received approvals from a German premium Automotive OEM and will be used in future cars.

The materials were subjected to stick-slip tests according to VDA230-206 at testing machines from Ziegler Instruments with very positive test results: a 10-point scale was used, where 10 is the highest risk level. The newly developed ELIX grades managed to score 1 – the lowest risk level. Tests were conducted with different forces (10°N, 40°N) and speeds (1°mm/s and 4°mm/s) at several temperatures. Especially relevant successful results were obtained after the heat aging of materials where the risk normally increases in standard non-modified materials.

The new grades use ELIX Polymers’ base polymers: standard ABS, high heat ABS, ABS/PC or PC/ABS – and because their key properties remain the same, this does not affect existing OEM approvals of ELIX grades. Furthermore, as the shrinkage of the materials remains the same, current moulds can be used without further need for modifications. Significant cost savings are possible using these products, as no felts, tapes or grease need to be added after the injection and assembly of parts to reduce squeaking and rattling sounds. This new development is the result of ELIX Polymers close partnership with leading Automotive OEMs and its strategy directed at focusing on specialised added-value materials and the development of tailor-made solutions.

BIOVYN PVC Supports Net-Zero-Energy Constructions(*) in the Netherlands

  • Several construction and renovation projects set for completion later this year in the Netherlands use window frames based on BIOVYN, bio-attributed PVC.
  • The use of BIOVYN for these projects considerably reduces the carbon footprint of house construction and renovation.
  • “BIOVYN has enormous potential for various industries and we’re delighted to see it used more and more in the construction sector”, says Inna Jeschke, Business Unit Manager Polymers of INEOS Inovyn.

Bio-attributed PVC is making its way in the construction sector. This year, window profile producer Kömmerling will use INEOS Inovyn’s BIOVYN – the world’s first commercial PVC made of renewable feedstock – in renovation and new construction projects across the Netherlands.

The first installations are expected in June 2023. The first project will renovate 19 houses to turn them into net-zero-energy social housings. It will be the first construction project in the world to use certified bio-attributed PVC window frames.

“BIOVYN’s unique properties have spoken to yet another sector where more sustainable solutions are required to reduce CO2 emissions,” Inna Jeschke, Business Unit Manager Polymers, explains. “Our product is already trusted by some of the world’s most famous consumer brands, and we are very proud to count Kömmerling amongst them.”

INEOS Inovyn’s BIOVYN brings a carbon footprint reduction of over 90% compared to traditional PVC without compromising on quality and performance.

“We are proud of this project. It is a first in the industry and we consider it an important step in the development of sustainable building materials. This innovation already saves around 6,000 kilograms of CO2 in the first project,” says Jelmer Bijlsma, Manager for Sustainability and Innovation at Kömmerling NL.

Covestro Established App for Product Carbon Footprint Calculation

  • Covestro digitalizes product-specific life cycle assessments (LCA)
  • Environmental data for approx. 50,000 intermediates and finished products. Validation by end of 2024 so that data for finished products available for customers gradually in 2024
  • Covestro cloud enables innovative software solution for LCA calculations of proprietary products

In order to make the circular economy a reality and become operationally climate-neutral by 2035, Covestro pushes many projects aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions are generated in the company’s own production through the use of energy and throughout the value chain, both upstream at suppliers and downstream at customers.

Covestro’s climate impact in the manufacture of its products can be assessed using the product carbon footprint from cradle to gate, which can be calculated automatically for about 50,000 intermediate and finished products. At the moment, the results are being validated in order to make them available to customers gradually in 2024. In the meantime, Covestro continues to deliver data from a manual process using a life cycle assessment tool and a method that was certified according to ISO 14040/44 and ISO 14067 last year by TÜV Rheinland Energy GmbH. The automation of the calculation will enable Covestro to determine the specific carbon footprints for products in its entire product portfolio and identify potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, Covestro plans to provide its customers in future with data on the products for sale, thereby contributing to an emissions assessment and a potential subsequent emissions reduction on the customer’s side. In addition to the carbon footprint, the digital solution also enables the calculation of other environmental impact categories, such as the acidification- or photochemical ozone creation potential.

The calculation considers emissions of raw materials used, energy consumed, direct emissions generated, and waste streams generated during the manufacture of a product. The calculation is based on Covestro’s internal plant- and site-specific data as well as external databases for e.g., raw material data and, if available, specific raw material data from suppliers. The data that is calculated includes intermediate and finished products, meaning that the entire value chain for the products all the way to the Covestro gate is taken into account.

“We all want and need to reduce emissions along the value chain – this applies to us at Covestro just as much as it does to our suppliers and customers. Our customers’ requirements are clear: to provide data for all our products and to identify opportunities to reduce emissions,” explains Lynette Chung, Chief Sustainability Officer at Covestro.

Digitalization as a core component for generating sustainability data

Covestro has now taken a major step forward in automated calculation. Information on material and energy consumption is pulled from existing data sources and systems, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), and merged with data from databases in the cloud. Covestro uses the Product Sustainability Platform from AllocNow GmbH for this purpose. The software company specializes in the automated calculation of life cycle assessments for chemical products. In the future, further supplier data could be reflected in the calculation. “In 2022, our portfolio had about 50,000 intermediates and finished products. The manual calculation of life cycle assessment data for just one of these products took several days,” explains Michaela Lentz, IT & Digital Transformation Partner for Sustainability at Covestro and IT lead for the project. “By combining and using the data, we can now calculate greenhouse gas emissions in production for a single product. Annual recalculations and future process changes can be retrieved at the push of a button, so to speak. Our software solution has been developed directly in the cloud,” Lentz continues. Covestro does not need to maintain server capacity for the annual recalculation of LCA data, but can scale up computing capacity as needed. The company is thus very resource-conscious in its use of server services and is making a further contribution to its sustainability goals.

“Covestro’s manual life cycle assessment calculation process was already reviewed against ISO 14040/44 and 14067 and certified by TÜV Rheinland Energy GmbH last year. Now we are seeking additional certification according to the relevant ISO-standards and in alignment with the Together for Sustainability (TfS)-guideline for the automated method,” says Dr. Catherine Lövenich, the project manager who works at Group Innovation. “The method is very complex. Take MDI, for example, a typical precursor for insulation foams. Covestro purchases the raw material benzene, which is then converted into the finished product MDI via several intermediates using energy and other raw materials,” Lövenich explains. “All these steps and the use of the raw materials employed are included in the calculation of the carbon footprint for a particular MDI type.” Since both the quality of the methodology and of the data are important to Covestro, the results are being validated at Covestro. Validation of the data should be completed by the end of 2024. In the meantime the current manual approach will keep supporting with customer requests.

Digitalization is a major driver to improve sustainability and achieve the circular economy. Covestro is focusing on more data-centric business management to achieve digital transformation. Production, Research and Development, and Supply Chain Management are the three divisions that are currently the main focus.

New Essential Ski Line by Rossignol Benefits from REODRIN‘s Low Carbon Footprint Through ARALDITE Mass Balance Certified Epoxy Resin

  • French ski producer Rossignol has announced the release of a new, environment-friendly ski line named “Essential”.
  • The new skis were developed in part thanks to cooperation between Huntsman (ARALDITE resin) and INEOS Inovyn (REODRIN sustainable epichlorohydrin).
  • The new skis were advertised by Huntsman and Rossignol at the last JEC World, the leading International composites show, in Paris.

Imagine hurtling down ski trails with a pair of skis that delivers excellent performance, high recyclability and a low carbon footprint. This dream, so crucial in the context we live in, has recently become reality in Rossignol’s ski production facilities. The French brand’s new “Essential” product line, which is made of wood, metal, and a special epoxy resin enabled by INEOS Inovyn innovation.

The new line is the result of 10 years of research and development at Rossignol, boosted in 2023 as Huntsman started using INEOS Inovyn’s REODRIN to conceive a new range of products.

“ISCC-Plus certified REODRIN brings about a 70% reduction in GHG emissions compared to fossil based equivalent. As the world’s first bio-attributed epichlorohydrin, REODRIN , combines its greenhouse gas savings with significant reduction of water intake, land use and overall ecological impact of production,” comments Pedro Moura Pinto, Business Unit Manager Allylics at INEOS Inovyn.

When Huntsman received their first batch of REODRIN in January 2023, they started using it as a basis for their ARALDITE product line. The new REDcert2 certified bio-attributed resin was quick to turn heads at Rossignol, the world leader in ski gear production which decided to use ARALDITE Mass Balance Certified grade for the production of their new “Essential” ski line.

“Our resin has currently no equivalent on the market. It is 100% bio-attributed and presents more than 80% lower CO2 footprint than its fossil-based counterparts without compromising on performance. We must thank our development, manufacturing and supply chain teams for that achievement, but also to INEOS Inovyn as all this wouldn’t have been possible without REODRIN,” says Philippe Christou, Head of Environmental & Technology Intelligence Group for Huntsman’s Advanced Materials division.

Rossignol’s new ski line was advertised by Huntsman and Rossignol at the last JEC World, the leading international composites show, in Paris.
