Kunststoffe international, Diverse Shapes and Applications
...al vehicles. Four materials stand out in particular: Novodur Ultra 4255 and H701 have been developed to become the materials of choice for interior automotive applications. Exterior automotive applications take advantage of Luran S materials which provide a perfect surface even for high gloss aesthetic applications. It can be combined with the hot stamping technology and helps to reduce production cost. Luran S also makes inroads into the development of new electric and hybrid vehicles. An exam...

...styrene acrylonitrile copolymers (SAN; type: Luran, manufacturer: BASF). Through the addition of graft rubbers to SAN, we get, depending on the type of rubber component used, either ABS (type: Terluran and Ronfalin, manufacturer: BASF) or ASA (type: Luran S, manufacturer: BASF) [1]. Impact modification with graft rubbers based on butadiene results in ABS, while the use of acrylic ester rubbers leads to ASA. The relevant specific properties will depend on the nature of the rubber components. Unli...

This area of the company is thus increasingly concentrating its efforts on application research and development in cooperation with customers. Examples of this include the tailgate in Luran S or housings for office machines in Terluran. Customer Proximity and Specialities BASF's product portfolio covers the entire polyurethane product range. The company has its own production facilities for the basic PU products of MDI, TDI an...

...reated by combining amorphous plastics, such as in (PC+styrene copolymer) blends - (PC+ASA). Key aspects of product development for applications involving automotive body parts are discussed below, taking the example of (PC+ASA) blends (e.g. grade: Luran S KR 2868 C, manufacturer: BASF). Dimensional Stability In the field of off-line painted body parts, use has so far been made primarily of (PC+PBT+MBS) and (PC+ABS) blends, while (PPE+PA) blends are used for online painting [5]. Compared with ...

...rts in thermoplastics and their processing at the parent company BASF AG. The basis of the concept is a standard film carrier material made from ASA or ASA/PC. This material has been specially further developed in recent years. The present Luran S PFM grades are characterised by high purity, increased heat deflection temperature and good paintability/coatability. In addition, they can be coextruded with top layers of PMMA or Luran (SAN). Like all other Luran S materials, they can also be coloure...

...or this application, a new material concept (PFM System, Manufacturer: BASF) has been developed in the last few years [4]. It uses a coextruded film (e. g. the Senotop in-mould film) of acrylic coated acrylonitrile styrene acrylester copolymer (ASA; Luran S, Manufacturer: BASF) and a suitable back-moulding material based on styrene copolymers or their blends [1, 2]. For a service temperature range of between - 40°C and 90°C, the most economical solution is to use ABS (Terluran, Manufacturer: BAS...

Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Wide Range of Applications: Styrene Copolymers
... ASA: When mechanical strength, chemical resistance and UV stability are required equally in plastic applications, quality-conscious suppliers are increasingly replacing standard plastics with ASA, which BASF markets under the trade name Luran S. ASA results from the copolymerisation of styrene and acrylonitrile in combination with an acrylic ester-based elastomer component. The elastomer component is distributed uniformly in the SAN matrix in the form of very fine particles, which yields a mate...

...ASA varieties having correspondingly lower glass transition temperatures. It is common to all the blends that they exhibit lower thermal stability than the starting polymer. While blends composed of PVC and Terluran HH 106 (ABS) or 112 and Luran S 778 T (ASA) are notable for slightly, with higher additions sometimes even dramatically, improved levels of impact resistance, the gain in Vicat temperature and hence in heat resistance as a result of AMSAN modification is simultaneously associated wi...

Richard Adler, Christian Bonten Modern polymers such as SAN (styrene/acrylonitrile polymer; Luran S), modified ABS (acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene polymer; Terluran) and MABS polymers (methylmethacrylate / acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene polymer; Terlux) are today considered to be genuine design materials because of the creative opportunit...

...ely used are spacers in double-glazed windows. Luran 378 PG7 has a high tensile modulus and a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of aluminum, and can therefore increasingly replace this metal. In window profiles, Luran shows doubledigit growth; in other applications, SAN is growing with its markets; replacement by other materials is not likely at present in view of the polymer’s specific range of properties. ASA Acrylate-styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA) has been able to retain its speci...

.... The following styrene grades for automotive interiors from Ineos Styrolution were selected: Novodur H701 (100 % ABS), Novodur H801 (ABS+PC), Novodur U4255 (ABS+PC), Luran HH120 SPF50 (high heat SAN), Terblend N NM21EF (PA+ABS), and Luran S KR2863C UV (PC+ASA). Laser engraving made different grainings and different degrees of gloss possible. Figure 2 shows the results of the gloss measurement at an angle of 60° (gloss 60). As a measure of gloss, the ratio of the intensity of the light emitted a...
