...mposite Resins and High Performance Fibers had sales of EUR 1.8bn in 2002 and aims at growing, on average, 6% per annum. Within this group DSM Engineering Plastics will grow faster, especially due to growth from its high-performance products such as Stanyl and Arnitel that show double-digit growth rates. Kunststoffe: Where does DSM see growing markets for engineering plastics? Jos Goessens: The most promising engineering plastics markets for DSM are in Automotive, E&E and Packaging. The plastics...

...asy-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 % reduction in cycle time and an outstanding surface finish, even for highly reinforced grades. Akulon Ultra...

... ducts, intake manifolds and the end caps of charge air coolers, are thus being exposed to increasingly high operating temperatures. It is for precisely these applications that DSM Engineering Plastics Europe, Sittard, Netherlands, has developed Stanyl Diabolo OCD2100. This is the first representative of the Stanyl family with significantly improved thermal long-term stability. By restricting the thermal-oxidative degradation of this material, it will withstand conditions of up to 230°C over mor...

Since 2007, Rhodia has been offering new, heat-resistant PA66 grades in its Technyl Heat Performance (HP) line and also recommends them as alternatives for PPA; DSM has been spotting its Stanyl (PA46) here for some time. Typical applications for such HT polymers include intake manifolds with integrated oil separator, turbocharger resonators, ball bearing cages, self-adjusting coupling rings and stiff mechanical torsion damper...

...'s further trends are miniaturization in cell phones and weight savings, whereby the focus is on metal substitution. The materials manufacturer will give special emphasis in its portfolio to halogen-free high-temperature polyamides (type: Stanyl for Tii). The company sees a market for continued growth in coming years. These plastics can be utilized in electrical equipment and electronics, e.g., to produce plugs (Fig. 2). Mitsubishi: Developments for E+E Strengthening its market position is ...

... New Generation of Polyamides This year, DSM Engineering Plastics, Sittard, The Netherlands, will present its latest generation of high-temperature resistant polyamide grades designed for vehicle engine compartments (Fig. 3). The company”s new Stanyl Diablo OCD2300 grade of PA46 features a very low degree of thermo-oxidative degradation. It can thus resist aging at 230°C for more than 3,000 hours, before its tensile resistance decreases below half the original value. The material was recently su...

DSM Engineering Plastics Europe of Sittard, Netherlands, quadrupled production capacity for Stanyl ForTii and opened a new production facility in June 2010. Stanyl ForTii is a halogen-free, flame-retardant, high-temperature polyamide based on the precursors for polyamide 46 and terephthalic acid. At present, there are about 15 different grades, tailored ...

Focusing on similar applications, more products have been made available, for instance Zytel Plus 95G35 from the Zytel Plus series by DuPont, or Stanyl Dabolo OCD2100 by DSM. As part of its Grivory series, Ems- Chemie Holding AG, situated in Domat/Ems, Switzerland, also offers heat-resistant variants. In the spring of 2011, Radici Group SpA in Gandino, Italy, also announced a PA66 variant of the Radilon series...

One of the few connector material solutions able to meet these new demands is in the newly developed high temperature polyamide from DSM, Stanyl For-Tii, a polyamide 4T (Table 3). This material perfectly fits the market trends as described above, thanks to its unique combination of high melting point, high HDT value and excellent fit for the few available halogen free flame retardant systems without sac...
