Styrenics solutions at FAKUMA 2023

INEOS Styrolution presents moulding solutions and customer applications made with the company’s sustainable ECO products at the FAKUMA show in Friedrichshafen, Germany (October 17-21, 2023).

INEOS Styrolution’s ECO products offer performance with a low environmental footprint. They are either the result of (mechanical or advanced) recycling or they are products based on bio-attributed feedstock. Their properties are at par with that of traditional materials.

At the FAKUMA show, INEOS Styrolution’s materials can be experienced at the following locations:

ALBIS showcases customer solutions based on INEOS Styrolution’s ECO materials. Exhibits include solutions from various industries such as a B-pillar (automotive) or toolbox (household). Materials include Novodur® ECO HH-106 MR30, Terluran ECO GP-22 MR50 and Luran ECO 368R B70.

Also on display are samples of INEOS Styrolution’s new Luran® S SPF-60 solution. The ASA Luran® S SPF-60 offers high gloss and best-in-class UV performance making it a perfect solution for many outdoor applications requiring an aesthetic appearance.
