GE is launching several new products as part of its Ecomagination initiative. One of these is NXT Z, part of the company's previously launched NXT family of silanes. GE says NXT Z enables the mixing of silica with rubber for silica tire treads without generating ethanol during manufacturing and compounding steps. The other products, Valox iQ and Xenoy iQ, are, respectively, a polybutylene terephthalate-based polymer and an alloy of a PBT-based polymer and polycarbonate. The products are made with terephthalic acid obtained from the depolymerization of post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate. GE is targeting the products at automotive parts such as bumper structures (shown).
