...special material combination for water-assist technology. Two-component injection moulding in combination with water-assist technology is used to produce cooling water pipes. The outer skin is made from Schulamid 66 GF30 2K WIT, while on the inside Polyfort FPP FX2020 E ensures easy processability with water and good internal surface quality. In the halogen-free sector, Lanxess is launching new PA6 and PA66 grades. The PA6 materials are the Durethan grades TP153-001, TP 153-003 and DP 1803/10 H...

...al development, specimens with a thickness of 3.2mm from a typical mass-production bumper material (grade: PP-T-10, laser absorbent) and test specimens with a thickness of 1.6mm were injection moulded from the laser-transparent polypropylene grade Polyfort FPP20 GFC SHH black LW (Fig.3; manufacturer: A. Schulmann), and welded at Prolas Produktionslaser GmbH, Würselen/Germany. The overlap welded samples were subsequently tested in the tensile tester. Sets of parameters could be determined at whic...

...grade: Schulamid GF 30 H, supplier: A. Schulman GmbH), the flexible lips from the thermoplastic elastomer (TPS) (grade: Thermolast TC6PAZ-C200, supplier: Kraiburg TPE GmbH). The housing is molded from glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (grade: Polyfort PP GF 30, supplier: A. Schulman GmbH). With regard to material selection, resistance to numerous substances and chemicals, e.g. various fuels, coolants and cleaners, had to be taken into consideration. Furthermore, minimal release of volatile or...

...cur, the entire headlight unit must be replaced. Welding Incompatible Materials Thanks to a new, bonding-modified polypropylene supplied by A. Schulman GmbH in Kerpen, Germany, it is now possible to weld these incompatible material combinations. The Polyfort LH 400 material range has been specially adapted to provide an outstanding bond between polypropylene and different polyesters, thus opening up new applications. Housings manufactured of Polyfort LH 400 can now be bonded to PC cover glasses ...

...density, polyolefins 0.9 g/cm3 (unfilled) offer considerable weight advantages. For the example of a polypropylene compound with 30 % filler (glass fiber or mineral), the same proportion of natural fiber filler lowers the density by about 10 %. With Polyfort NF, A. Schulman GmbH, Kerpen, Germany, has developed a polyolefin-based compound that can be reinforced with different natural fibers, such as jute, kenaf or hemp. Typical applications for these compounds include door-module brackets, consol...

...duction and functional design. The design panel as skid plate ultimately won the first prize in the category "body exterior." The part, injection molded with cascade filling from PP (copolymer, type Polyfort, manufacturer: A. Schulman) with 10 % silver metallic filler, won over the jury thanks to its bright metallic surface with no surface defects such as tiger stripes or flow lines). The radiator grille shutter for a Mercedes-Benz E Class, also submitted by Magna, took second place in this cate...

...t polypropylene (PP) compounds. They were applied, for example, in the form of a plastic door sill (1250 mm x 300 mm, wall thickness 1.8 to 2.5 mm) (Fig. 3), among other things.Door sills often consist of talc-filled PP (often 20 %), such as Polyfort FIPP 20 T (manufacturer: A. Schulman). The goal of the joint project was to develop a material that has the same shrinkage, but contains notably lighter fillers. To do so, the volumetric filler content has to remain the same. This goal can be reache...
