Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, 3D Simulation: How Accurate are Warpage Predictions?
...ritical areas of the component became very important indeed. One such area is the pipe connection joining the thermostat to the valve of the radiator, which controls the setting of the thermostat. The pipe connection is an injection moulded part of Valox 420, a PBT reinforced with 30% glass fibres (manufacturer: GE Plastics). Since a large number of functions have been integrated into the pipe connection, the injection moulding simulation using the Moldex3D program played an important part in t...

... improved flame protection with lower emissions and a higher chemical resistance. GEP is additionally offering two new (PC+ASA) blends (grade: Geloy) with improved heat resistance and impact strength. The new developments in the field of PBT (grade: Valox) include a new extrudable product type which fulfils the requirements for hollow cables for optical waveguides. A further PBT type can be used for a flame-retardant transport belt which causes less friction. A high chemical resistance is the sp...

...nt which have been triggered by new recycling regulations. These are intended primarily for application in the electrical engineering and electronics sectors (Fig.7). Examples here include certain Crastin FR grades (manufacturer: DuPont), NH Valox grades (manufacturer: GEP), Pocan DP 2004 (manufacturer: Bayer) or the Arnite grades with the development designation Segregate (manufacturer: DSM). BASF has met the requirement for flame retardance without halogen or antimony compounds with its Ultrad...

...ogens. Greater uniformity among the standards in this sector could help to focus on further development in this direction with a view to making them more affordable. The Author of this Article François de Bie is Product Manager for Valox/Xenoy Resins at GE Plastics Europe, Bergen op Zoom/Netherlands. Contact: francois.debie@gepex.ge.com Fig.1. Plug made from flame-resistant, glassfibre-reinforced (PS+PPO) blend Table 1. Typical properties of PBT-GF30 containing flame retardant as vir...

...ule parts all fitted perfectly together. The issue of which material to use was to be decided by Moldflow studies that would take account of the high stress involved. Two raw materials were up for selection: Rynite SST 35 (manufacturer: DuPont) and Valox 830 (manufacturer: GE). The crucial questions were how do the glass fibres align themselves, how much warping occurs and what quality of surface is feasible with the materials (30 % glass fibre content). To be able to get as close as possible to...

Kunststoffe international, 2007-09-19, Energy Efficiency Taking on Increasing Importance
...there are different regulations to be fulfilled which have been tightened up in a number of areas over the past few years. For the electrical/electronics sector, GE Plastics, Bergen op Zoom/Netherlands, is presenting its new Valox polyester (PBT) family. Valox ENH is a flame retardant grade containing neither chlorine nor bromine and hence complying with the RoHS (Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equ...

...os van Giesbergen, Global Technology Manager for Crystalline Products, stressed that the company is involved in several research projects. Environmentally friendly innovations and progressive technologies are not mutually exclusive, as shown by Valox-iQ (PBT) and Xenoy-iQ (PC/PBT blend). Manufacturing these products, up to 85 % of raw materials based on chemically recycled PET is used. The new Sabic IP technology is able to turn PET particles, such as are obtained from recycled P...

...high-performance plastic using recycled material that fulfills the UL safety standards. Sabic Innovative Plastics and other businesses still search for possible technologies for this difficult environmental problem. Examples from recent examples are Valox iQ and Xenoy iQ, the polyester PC, PET and PBT based on recycled material and their blends by Sabic Innovative Plastics. These products use PBT, in which 85% of the chemicals used in a patented chemical process are recovered from recycled PET b...

...tunity to demonstrate that they are environmentally aware by advertising their products as sustainable. For example, PBT grades are available, whose basic monomer unit (terephthalic acid) is derived from recycled PET (Valox IQ, Sabic Innovative Plastics, Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands). Another approach is based on high-quality postconsumer recyclates (from PET beverage bottles). They are recycled by a special process into a PET that is free of contaminants, invariable in quality, and exhibits virt...

...esign freedom, particularly when creating small parts, complex shapes and thin walls. Plastics also enable part consolidation to simplify a design and achieve cost and weight savings. GE Healthcare, Munich, Germany, selected the engineering plastics Valox for the housing and Xylex for the storage bins of its Optima XR220amx mobile x-ray machine (Title photo, Fig. 1), a “radiology center on wheels” that brings diagnostic radiology to the patient’s bedside. Valox resins offer significantly greater...
