Sustainable solutions
Songwon’s range of polymer stabilisers prolongs the lifetime of polymers, contributes to making materials reusable and stabilises the polymer through the mechanical recycling step.
In this way, Songwon supports its customers to make their processes more ecological, faster and also more efficient and contributes to enabling the plastics industry to make a positive contribution to the environment.
Automotive interiors
For automotive manufacturers, Songwon is exhibiting its solution for preserving the quality of recycled plastics which enable their use in under-the-hood applications, such as engine room covers, cable ducts, battery housing etc.
Apart from meeting the industry’s requirements of improved long-term heat stability, Songwon’s innovative stabiliser blend, SONGXTEND® 2721 increases the quality and upgrades the performance of recycled-PP while extending its service life.
Coatings manufacturing
Demonstrating its commitment to improving sustainability throughout the coatings value chain, Songwon showcased its new collection of water-miscible products that were developed to meet the increased demand for environmentally acceptable additives.
Combining the efficiency of conventional products with the benefits of water miscibility and low-to-zero VOC generation, but also of easy dosing and handling, the light stabilisers and antioxidant: SONGSORB® CS 400 WB, SONGSORB® CS AQ01 and SONGNOX® CS 2450 WB provide a synergistic stabilisation package for water-based coating systems.
