Kunststoffe international, Drivers of Electromobility
...required electrical performance, and is the first and only company worldwide that has globally launched compounds for high-voltage applications with a certified CTI rating of >700 V (for Akulon PA 66) and >850 V (for ForTii PPA). These compounds are free of metals, halogens, red phosphorous and halide-based heat stabilizers, so that potential electrical corrosion of any metal used in the assembly of the components can be avoided. They are also available in orange colored grades. To ensure highes...

...ed by around 22%, while mechanical properties differ only slightly from those of standard Durethan. In processing, the lower melting point of these grades enables cooling and cycle time to be reduced. DSM is supplying a new grade for laser welding: Akulon UltraLas K224-HWXG6, a 30% black-coloured, glass-fibre-reinforced grade. Because of the high laser-energy transmission of the PA6 base polymer (70% of a 1064nm-Nd-YAG laser), shorter cycle times, more complex geometries and lower section thickn...
Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Interview: Newly Reorganised for the Future
...st promising engineering plastics markets for DSM are in Automotive, E&E and Packaging. The plastics-for-metal drive in automotive is ongoing, especially in the under-the-hood environment where we have very strong opportunities with our Stanyl PA46, Akulon PA6 and Arnitel TPEE. In addition, the increase in E&E markets, driven by consumer spending and the strong increase in electronics in daily life, stimulates the use of plastics where we can benefit again with Stanyl PA46, Arnite PBT and Xantar...

...oxic CBC is suitable for use in reactive processing of polymer melts. At DSM, CBC was employed successfully as a chain extender for polyesters and polyamides and polyesters. As Fig.6 shows, CBC addition during melt processing of polyamide6 (grade: Akulon, manufacturer: DSM) produced a significant increase in solution viscosity; this is typical of the effective molecular weight build-up due to chain extension. Processing was carried out in a DSM twin-screw mini extruder at 270°C with a reside...

The excellent properties of TerblendN, faithfully reproduce fine surface structures and thus, even when unpainted parts are used, the product gives the impression of a mat surface (Fig.5). Akulon (PA6GF), Arnitel (thermoplastic elastomer; TPE) and StapronE, a PC/ PET alloy, are DSM’s materials for interior safety parts. Airbag containers of AkulonK224-PG8 play an important role in passenger safety. The parts fulfil not only the high strength requirements but have extremel...

...arrier materials (e. g. EVOH), the oxygen permeability of polyamide 6 depends substantially on the relative atmospheric humidity and this fact severely limits its usefulness as a monolayer material. Figure 1 shows the oxygen permeability of the PA 6 Akulon F136-C as a function of relative atmospheric humidity. It may be seen that oxygen permeability decreases at low relative humidity but increases strongly at high levels. For a long time, there was no explanation for this behaviour of polyamide ...

...rmed with the standard crash simulation programs available on the market. A series of new and particularly easy-flow materials has been brought onto the market by DSM Engineering Plastics BV, Sittard/Netherlands. The new materials include Akulon XP – a PA6 – (with high viscosity) for packaging applications, Akulon Ultraflow – a PA6 – and Stanyl High Flow and Super Flow – PA46 grades. Akulon Ultraflow PA6, for instance, with its excellent flowability (80 % higher than standard PA6), permits a 25...

The structural strength so acquired nearly approaches that of metals but cuts weight by half. Price Breakers With Arnite XL PBT, Akulon Ultraflow PA6 and Stanyl PA46, DSM Engineering Plastics of Sittard, Netherlands, would like to offer lower-priced alternatives to high-temperature plastics such as PPA, PPS, PEI and PEEK.

For instance, a plant for manufacturing polyamide (PA) 6 (type: Akulon; use: packaging films) was put into operation in Jiangyin, China, in 2008. In 2009, a compounding plant was built in India, and in that year the company dedicated a new building of higher learning for research and development in Shanghai, China. T...

DSM will moreover bring to the market Akulon Diablo, which is a PA6 high-temperature material. This special version of Akulon was designed for use in air-fuel systems continuously submitted to temperatures up to 210°C, and even 230°C, at short term.
