Trinseo (Trinseo, or the “Company”) (NYSE: TSE), a specialty
material solutions provider, today announces its new offering of
flame-retardant EMERGE™ PC 8600PV and 8600PR resins, as well as
EMERGE™ PC/ABS 7360E65 resins, manufactured without the use of
per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or halogenated additives.
Many PFAS chemicals are commonly used for their important
flame-retardant properties, as well as their resistance to heat,
oil, stain, grease, and water. These new products maintain those
critical performance attributes while addressing the growing demand
and regulatory pressures to reduce the use of PFASs, especially in
the consumer electronics and electrical industries. These products
will first be launched in the Asia-Pacific market, suitable for
applications in a variety of fields such as IT equipment,
electronic and electrical products, battery chargers, and voltage
stabilizers.
“Sustainable products are at the core of everything we do at
Trinseo. By leveraging our extensive knowledge and technical
expertise with PCR products, along with our deep insights into the
consumer electronics and electrical industries, we are accelerating
the development of products without the use of PFAS or halogenated
additives. This is done in response to the market's required shift
towards sustainably advantaged solutions,” said Han Hendriks,
Trinseo’s Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer.
Both EMERGE™ 8600PR and EMERGE™ 7360E65 use post-consumer
recycled (PCR) substrates, while maintaining performance similar to
that of virgin materials. There is no intentionally added PFAS in
the manufacturing process at Trinseo, and the recycled content
facilitates waste reduction, carbon footprint reduction, and
recycling in the consumer electronics industry.
