Velox, a European distributor of raw material specialities for plastics, will present an innovative product range at Fakuma (booth 5001 in Hall B5).
Velox is also introducing PrimeTec, the company’s own brand for highly specialised solutions for the plastics industry.
Velox’ highlight of the extensive product spectrum is from an expansion of the product portfolio of the partner PENTAC Polymers. Polyphthalamide (PPA) offers the possibility for the development of compounds for steadily increasing working temperatures. Additionally, it can be customised to the application. Named PENTAMID AHT1 and PENTAMID AHT2, PPA has high dimensional stability, especially in high temperature conditions, and is good for high duty applications and metal replacement in automotive and engineering.
Another innovation is ASACLEAN PF, the new high-temperature grade without glass fibres from Asahi Kasei Corporation, which is especially suitable for purging high-performance plastics such as PPS, PEI, PEEK, PSU and others. Asaclean PF has excellent thermal stability and can be used for temperatures between 280°C to 420°C.This grade is ideal not just for rapid colour or material changes, but also for hot-runner purging as well as for machine shutdowns and sealing.

In the additives segment, Velox presents the products ADINS Clay and ADINS Fireproof from the partner TOLSA – a modified magnesium silicate (sepiolite) with needle structure that can be used as a synergist in almost all flame retardant systems. In addition to an improvement in the mechanical properties, the ADINS synergists create an enhanced crust, which greatly reduces the release of heat and smoke. The products are available on request with different coatings for better dispersion in the carrier material.
At FAKUMA, Velox’ experts will answer all questions concerning PrimeTec. François Minec, General Manager of Velox, said: “We are delighted to present a wide range of innovative specialties together with our long-standing partners at this year's 25th anniversary edition of FAKUMA. We look forward to the professional exchange and the many encounters with new and existing customers at our booth 5001 in Hall B5.”
