New Sustainably Advantaged ABS, SAN Resins Work As Drop-In Solution, Help Reduce Carbon Footprint Across Automotive, Industrial And Consumer Goods Applications
2024年6月4日 - 5:15AM

- Resins contain up to 60% chemically recycled styrene allocated
under mass balance principle
- Potential drop in carbon footprint up to 18% compared to the
average ABS and SAN industrial grades*
- Structurally and functionally the same as fossil-based
counterparts, materials can be used with existing tooling and
equipment under the same processing conditions
Trinseo (NYSE: TSE), a specialty material solutions provider and
manufacturer of plastics and latex binders, announced today the
launch of new recycled-containing acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
(ABS) and styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) resins, available under the
MAGNUM™ ECO+, MAGNUM™ CR and TYRIL™ CR trade names.
MAGNUM™ ECO+ ABS resins are dedicated to the mobility industry
and will be introduced to the market during the 2024 Plastics in
Automotive Engineering Conference in Mannheim, Germany (June
18-19). The resins exclusively use post-consumer recycled (PCR)
styrene obtained from household waste, and the end-applications can
achieve any hue with the use of color concentrates. MAGNUM™ ECO+
ABS maintains the same performance and qualities that made its
all-fossil counterpart a reliable, versatile resin, suitable for
both visible and hidden applications in vehicles. MAGNUM™ CR and
TYRIL™ CR are grades dedicated to industrial, and consumer goods
applications, such as edge bands, coffee machine water tanks or
toothbrushes.
“Our portfolio already includes a recycled containing resin -
the PULSE™ GX ECO PC/ABS and a bio-attributed solution - MAGNUMTM
BIO ABS, but we are constantly working to broaden our sustainably
advantaged offering. The MAGNUM™ ECO+ ABS resin is the next step in
our journey, and it is an especially important step because the
styrene monomer comes from recycled household waste, meaning
today’s trash is becoming tomorrow’s high-performing plastic; being
a PCR-containing resin, we are not only helping OEMs lower their
vehicles’ overall carbon footprint, but we are also helping them be
compliant with the EU directives on the use of PCR plastic in
mobility” said Ivan Angelov, Global Business Director Copolymers,
Trinseo.
The sustainably advantaged resins contain up to 60% chemically
recycled styrene The recycled styrene is combined with fossil-based
polymers during polymerization according to the ISCC+ Mass Balance
process. Because the recycled styrene becomes identical in chemical
composition to its virgin counterpart during feedstock cracking,
segregation during manufacturing is unnecessary.
The materials are structurally and functionally the same as the
virgin counterpart and can be used with existing tooling and
equipment under the same processing conditions. This makes the new
Trinseo materials a drop-in solution, all while offering a
potential drop of up to 18% in carbon footprint compared to the
average ABS and SAN industrial grades - *preliminary calculated
estimated values based on data from a research study conducted by
styrene supplier and independent 3rd party (scope:
cradle-to-gate).
“Trinseo’s solutions for industrial & consumer goods
applications already includes ABS and SAN with up to 95%
bio-attributed content, however our aim is to offer customers the
right choice for their applications. These recycled containing
resins not only offer the same features and benefits with an
improved carbon footprint compared to their all-prime counterparts,
but they also help reutilize waste that would have otherwise been
burned or sent to a landfill” added Romulo Bouzas, Copolymers
Product Manager EMEA at Trinseo.
