INEOS Styrolution’s NAS® 30 will be processed on a BOY machine at the booth of HNP Mikrosysteme during the FAKUMA International Trade Fair in Friedrichshafen (October 19-24, 2024). HNPM’s colorDoS® dosing system applies liquid colour to the granulate flow. Colour change and processing can be seen live at booth A1-1205 in hall A1.


About BOY 25 E:

The 250 kN clamping unit is realised in the proven and space-saving two-platen design, combined with only two piston rods, which significantly improves the accessibility of the mould installation area. The machine allows the possibility of a differential pressure injection, which provides increased injection speeds with minimum oil flow.

The BOY 25 E is characterised by highest precision and reliability. With a footprint of 1,80 m², the extremely compact injection moulding machine is simple, clear and economically designed. The clamping unit features easy access and room for numerous options including automated systems. Six different sizes of injection units combined with seven different screw diameters offer a wide range of individual equipment options.

About INEOS Styrolution’s NAS® ECO 30 BC70:

NAS® is a stiff, amorphous styrene methyl methacrylate (SMMA) copolymer used for demanding applications that require excellent transparency such as water tanks, displays, food containers or boxes. It features an outstanding water-clear appearance, an extreme low haze as well as a good thermal and chemical resistance. The optical properties of NAS® are on a similar level as PMMA. Also, NAS®, has a density and processing advantage compared to acrylic solutions.

NAS® 30, an SMMA with enhanced flow and clarity, is available as conventional material based on fossil feedstock and as a drop-in solution based on renewable feedstock (mass balance process certified under ISCC PLUS by a third party).

At the HNP Mikrosysteme booth at Fakuma in hall 1, delicacy dishes in blue, red, green and yellow will be produced on the BOY injection molding machine and with granulate from INEOS Styrolution. The colorDoS® dosing system is used to apply liquid colours directly into the granulate flow. The shot weight is 25 g and the colour addition is 0.5 %. The use of colorDoS® and liquid colours offers a real alternative to masterbatch for frequent colour changes. It significantly reduces waste during colour changes, protects the environment, ensures optimum machine utilisation and saves material and time. During FAKUMA, the fast and clean colour change will be presented live several times a day.

Dr.-Ing. Patrick Messer, Director Process Engineering and Service at BOY says: “The combination of BOY injection moulding solutions together with INEOS Styrolution’s styrenics polymer solutions is a very appealing value proposition for customers who require high performance for the most demanding applications.”

Christian Dietlein, Technical Service Manager EMEA at INEOS Styrolution, adds: “We are very happy about the long-term cooperation with BOY encourage customers to explore BOY’s moulding machines at FAKUMA and we invite them to contact us for more information on our styrenics solutions and roadmaps towards circularity and sustainable solutions. Sustainable NAS ECO drop-in solutions, for example, offer an investment protection for existing NAS solutions.”

Olaf Lang, Senior Application Engineer at HNP Mikrosysteme, summarises “At our booth, we are showing exactly what the customer needs: a great machine, the right granules, the correct colour and a suitable dosing system. That’s why we are excited about this collaboration at FAKUMA.”
