Hexpol's second-quarter 2026 revenue was SEK 5.28 billion, up 10.7 percent from SEK 4.77 billion in the first quarter, while operating profit reached SEK 728 million, according to Affarsvarlden. That comparison matters because the operating result was SEK 701 million in the first quarter of 2026. The figures point to a stronger first half, although the margin eased to 13.8 percent from 14.7 percent quarter over quarter. What comes next for reporting. Hexpol's recent chronology has three measurable steps. On July 20, 2026, its second-quarter report showed SEK 5.28 billion in revenue. On October 2, 2026, Hexpol published its third-quarter trading report through Nasdaq Nordic. On October 15, 2026, EFN's view highlighted 8 percent organic growth in the second quarter. Reporting dates set the next test. Hexpol will publish its third-quarter 2026 report on October 23, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. CET, according to Hexpol. The accompanying investor presentation is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. CET that day. The report will show whether the second-quarter improvement continued into the next period. Stock price and operating trend. For investors, the key contrast is between the 10.7 percent quarterly revenue increase and the lower 13.8 percent second-quarter operating margin. Hexpol's business spans polymer compounds, gaskets and wheels, so the mix between thermoplastics and rubber operations remains relevant to the next margin reading. The stock was trading at EUR 8.63 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, at 1:37 p.m. CEST.

HEXPOL develops automotive thermoplastics with PCR recyclate. HEXPOL presents new developments in automotive thermoplastics and TPE with PCR recyclate. At the Fakuma 2026 exhibition in Germany, HEXPOL's Thermoplastics business area presented a further expansion of its automotive materials portfolio containing Post-Consumer Recyclate (PCR). The portfolio includes PC/ABS and ABS, reinforced PP, and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). Depending on polymer type, technical requirements of the end application and availability, materials with PCR levels from 10 to over 80% are offered, including selected grades with more than 25% end-of-life vehicle recyclate. Developed by HEXPOL's almaak, RheTech, and TPE companies, these materials can be used for automotive interior and exterior parts, including consoles, trim, bumper brackets, inlay mats, sidesteps, mudflaps, grommets, electronic housing, and noise and vibration dampening. Dr. Thomas Köppl, Global Head of Product Management for HEXPOL Thermoplastics, commented, "We're supporting the automotive industry to meet growing requirements for plastic materials containing Post-Consumer Recyclate. For our PCR compounds, we carefully manage material consistency, mechanical performance, color stability, odor, VOC emissions and long-term durability". For multicomponent molding, several combinations of PC/ABS and TPE were tested according to ASTM D903, which measures the adhesion between materials. They showed excellent peel strength over 5N/mm. Examples of automotive materials containing PCR recyclate include: | MATERIAL | TYPE | PCR Content | Typical Applications | | Anjacom(R) PC/ABS R050/75S PCR | PC/ABS | 30% PCR | Center consoles, cupholders, interior trims | | Anjacom(R) ABS R050/7020 PCR | ABS | 30% PCR | Interiors, bumper brackets, glovebox covers | | Rhecomp RCT230-00 | PP-TD20 | 80% PCR | Brackets, wire channels, shields | | Rhecomp RCG230-00 | PP-GF30 | 40% PCR | Brackets, wire channels, shields | | Dryflex(R) PCR 753468-3 | TPS | 75% PCR | Inlay mats | | Dryflex(R) PCW 90A331B | TPO | 33% ELV-PCR | Exteriors, mudflaps | The thermoplastic materials are in use with several OEMs, including Anjacom PC/ABS R050/75S, which is in serial use with VW Group for the Cupra. "Each of HEXPOL's Thermoplastics companies works with recycled feedstocks. And we have done so for decades. Every day we test new material combinations to achieve performance, safety and cost targets. We are pleased to add these PCR thermoplastics to our extensive automotive offering of Post-Industrial Recyclate (PIR) compounds", added Köppl. About HEXPOL Thermoplastics.

HEXPOL develops custom TPE Materials for Bosch that meet multiple strict design requirements. * George Nowill * 7 October 2026, 14:04 BST * 2 minutes read HEXPOL worked with Bosch to develop new thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials that are UL certified for flammability ratings and have high levels of recycled content. The TPE materials will be used for power-tool grips and housing in the Bosch Professional line, designed for trade professionals and heavy-duty industrial use. Part of the Dryflex Circular TPE range, the new materials incorporate over 50 per cent recyclate content from PIR and PCR sources. The TPE materials have been certified according to several flammability and safety standards by UL: * IEC 60695-11-10 Horizontal Flame Test * IEC 60695-2-12 Glow Wire Flammability Index (GWFI) * IEC 60695-2-13 Glow Wire Ignition Temperature (GWIT) * UL 746S Evaluation of Sustainable Polymeric Materials for Use in Electrical Equipment While flammability testing such as UL 94 and IEC 60695 are well-established industry standards, UL 746S was published in 2023. It sets rules for testing recycled plastics, blended with virgin materials, for use in electrical equipment. Product appearance and haptics were also key considerations for Bosch. The Dryflex TPEs were developed to resist migration and hand perspiration, and to provide a pleasant surface for a secure grip. Adhesion synchronised, the TPEs can be overmoulded onto thermoplastic substrates such as polypropylene (PP) and glass-filled polyamide (PA 66). "Balancing mechanical demands, strict flammability and high levels of recycled content made this an interesting material development. We're proud to offer Bosch TPE materials that deliver the durability and high quality required for their renowned products while meeting circularity goals." - Christian Berg, Research & Development Manager at HEXPOL TPE GmbH.
