As the World Cup finals approached, Clariant actually "built" the final football field in one day!

In the early morning of July 12th, Beijing time,

The Three Lions Corps finally fell to the finals!

To this end, the Croatian team paid a lot more than others to play a game and the French finals!

On the eve of the four-year finals, Clariant set up a brand new stadium with 'Star Chemicals' at the magical chemical media meeting in the 'World Cup' held at the Shanghai company before the final. Let us look at the special products of this stadium from big to small.

1 safe, stable, environmentally friendly - stadium frame structure

Sports venues, the standard standard is steel structure + full glass + polycarbonate roof, such as the Fisht Olympic Stadium.

Fisht Olympic Stadium.

Although the steel can improve the sturdy structure, if there is no protection from the fireproof coating, in the event of a fire, it is easy to reach 500 °C in 5 minutes. The steel is easy to lose the mechanical strength at 500 °C. Once the mechanical strength is lost, the steel structure is prone to occur. Easy to collapse.

To this end, Clariant has developed a range of solutions for steel structures. For example, Exolit AP intumescent fireproof coatings for steel structures ensure fire safety and meet the aesthetic and environmental friendliness requirements of the football stadium.

Intumescent fire retardant coatings based on Exolit® AP solutions extend the flame resistance of steel structures from 5 minutes to 2 hours.

In addition, 'The halogen-free flame retardant op developed by Clariant is environmentally friendly and healthy. It can meet the demanding requirements of engineering and plastic processing including nylon, PPT, PET, etc. 'Clariant's additive business unit flame retardant Dai Yingying, technical service manager of the business unit.

2 safe, beautiful, durable - plastic seat

Watching the game, you can't leave the seat. The seats in the general stadium are not only comfortable, but also bright, and can withstand the wind and the sun. This has high requirements for the dispersion and safety of the pigment.

The seats in the stadium are usually made of high-density vinyl. This material is light, easy to process, easy to replace, and has a high CP value.

However, high-density ethylene has great mechanical and weather resistance compared with engineering plastics, and it is very flammable.

Clariant has developed Hostavin ® N 30 as an oligomeric hindered amine light stabilizer for a variety of plastic materials, including polyolefins, styrene, PA, POM, PBT, PVC, etc., and is widely used in agricultural films. In the fields of rotational molding, industrial water pipes, etc., its advantages include excellent heat resistance and color stability, excellent hydrolysis resistance, and good acid resistance.

3 durable, environmentally friendly, high quality - artificial turf

Is the artificial turf good? Or is it natural lawn? Let’s take a look at the relevant data comparison!

So, sometimes natural, not necessarily the best!

In fact, this year's World Cup has successfully used artificial turf pitches. Artificial turf is more cost-effective and durable than natural turf. With the worldwide call for circular economy, the recyclability of artificial turf is also proposed. Higher requirements. Clariant's high performance back coating system provides builders with an updated option.

The core additive in Clariant's high performance backcoating system is Licocene® high performance polymer, which provides a solution for recyclable high quality artificial turf. The polymer is a low molecular weight polyolefin produced by a metallocene catalyst.

With Licocenee®, the high-quality standards of hot melt technology can be combined with more economical and environmentally friendly production forms, with excellent adhesion even at the lowest molecular weight and low viscosity. Bonding each filament in the turf.

Due to the chemical composition of Licocene®, it is possible to produce 100% polyolefin turf, and at the end of the turf life cycle, it can be reused as a new artificial turf raw material.

4 comfortable, gorgeous, not afraid of the sun - the player equipment is essential

Finally, do you know how many of the 32 teams in the World Cup this year were made from recycled recycled PET bottles?

This number has reached a staggering 50%, including 16 teams including English and German, incorporating environmental elements into the uniform.

'Waste recycling will lead to a lot of instability in the process of making garments.' Huang Hualong, marketing manager of Greater China in EPL business of Clariant's additive business unit.

He introduced Clariant's various additives to help improve the performance of the waste recycling process. 'For example, adding Addworks® TFB117 during high heat recovery can avoid high pyrolysis, improve thermal stability, and can also be used for injection molding or spinning. Modification process. Nylostab® S-EED® additive enhances the weatherability of industrial polyamide fibers. ' Huang Hualong added.

China's chemical market has unlimited potential

Finally, let us look at the Chinese market, which currently accounts for more than 40% of the global chemical market. It will rise to over 45% in 2021, which is twice the size of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It is expected that the chemical market will grow in the next three years. In the range, the Chinese market will occupy 66% of the market.

To this end, Clariant is committed to becoming a 'China market insider', developing a strategic plan from 'edge to core' with sustainable and innovative solutions, promoting the continued growth of China's business, and designing five major localization frameworks:

1, local insight

2, local competitiveness

3, local decision-making power

4, local innovation

5, local cooperation

These five frameworks can be used to understand the diversified local market; accelerate investment in local production facilities, enhance technical service capabilities; give more local decision-making power; establish regional facilities and R&D centers as a comprehensive facility; and local partners, supply Businesses and the government work together to upgrade China's chemical industry. It is also because of the prospects for the future of China's chemical market, Clariant will continue to promote the development in China.
