POLYPLASTICS UNVEILS NEW RENATUS (R) PET GRADES WITH SUPERIOR WEATHERABILITY FOR AUTO EXTERIOR COMPONENTS

TOKYO, Nov. 16, 2021 /Kyodo JBN-AsiaNet/ --

Polyplastics Group has announced the introduction of two new RENATUS (R) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) grades which deliver superior mechanical properties, appearance, and weather resistance for automotive exterior components, reaffirming Polyplastics' strong commitment to PET as a key pillar of its extensive resin business portfolio.
 
The two new glass-reinforced grades, RH030 (30% glass-filled) and RH045 (45% glass-filled), maintain their jet blackness and reduce whitening on the surface of molded articles in outdoor environments, making them ideally suited for applications such as automotive side mirrors and rear wiper arms/blades. Since PET parts are not painted, weathering degradation can occur over time. The glass filler can start to float and the jet blackness can decrease. Accelerated weather-resistance testing demonstrates that Polyplastics' new PET materials maintain lower index values than their competing products, thus indicating that whitening is being reduced.
