... the UBA has also issued statements [2]. Neither the WEEE, nor any other EU directives related to the classifying, designating or bringing into circulation of hazardous materials applies to polyamides additivized with red phosphorous. Of course, its innate coloring renders red phosphorous unsuited for use in light-colored plastic products. However, the market has developed several alternatives, e.g. Ultramid A3UG5 (BASF) which has found its first wide-scale application recently in a cove...

...ts (e.g. loudspeakers, air-vent grilles) as well as in sporting goods (e.g. ski bindings, buckles on ski boots). High-quality metal optics can be achieved without subsequent painting by using Ticona’s new Hostaform grades with innate metallic-effect. The door grip of the new Honda Civic is one such example (Fig. 3). DuPont is taking another route with its patented Delrin decorating solution technology. It includes special Delrin grades suitable for metallizing and ...

...ches and PLA dominate this segment. They have been used for multi-layer packaging films for several years. This is happening more and more often in combination with cellophane, since they bring a very good innate oxygen and aroma barrier with them. Quality packaging can be manufactured this way for tee, coffee or muesli. Their relatively high permeability to moisture can be reduced to a low level by a combination of materials or a very thin silicate or aluminum coating. The cost stands in the wa...

Their fusion plays about the dreamy looking instrument, telling tales of long ago.Relaxed, Shiny and Metallic QuestioningThe trend colors for 2017 are fundamentally characterized by strong, innate contrasts. Thus, green and blue tones assume a dominant position. Especially green appears in very natural versions. Accordingly, the color is pleasing to see when combined with original earthy tones, thereby bringing the well-known safari style back ...

...gement level in the meantime. For Brinkmann’s company, the three key fields of action are recycling-friendly packaging design, low energy consumption in raw material production, and reduction of material use. One example is the Dow product Innate Precision Packaging Resins, which allows the wall thicknesses of films for flexible packaging to be reduced by up to 30 %. Single-substance systems to reduce the variety of materials constitute another development focus. "Dow will continue expanding the...

Injection molded plastics are finding increasing application as gears due to their economical workability and innate material advantages over metals. Plastic gears are usually designed according to VDI 2736, which describes three aspects: thermal, mechanical, and tribological design. Tooth deformation is one of the important design parameters related to load...
