...mlerChrysler, the concept was transferred to prototypes of the boot lid shown in Fig.4 [7]. The horizontal and vertical panels were back-injected with ABS and bonded to a support of (PBT+ASA) blend (grade: Ultradur S) or (PA+ABS) blend (grade: Terblend N). The films used for the panel parts were coextruded and paintable films. As was the case on earlier trade-fair parts, a maximum heat resistance of 90°C for the ABS film composites was also demonstrated for this large part. This value is adequat...

...S blends, seven different products from four manufacturers are significant on the market (Table 2). Blends with PC include Terblend S (BASF), Bayblend (Bayer), Pulse (Dow) and Cycoloy and Geloy (GE Plastics). (PA+ABS) blends are marketed by BASF as Terblend N and by Bayer as Triax. Market Segments Thanks to their versatile applications and processing properties, styrene copolymers have been able to compete very effectively with other engineering thermoplastics and commodities in recent years. ...

... ABS has the advantage that the glass fibres do not show at all on the high gloss surface as is the case with semi-crystalline materials (e. g. polypropylene). Where higher demands are made on the heat resistance, an ABS/PA blend or PBT/ASA blend (Terblend N, Ultradur S, Manufacturer: BASF) can also be used as the matrix material. The decisive question now is how can long fibres be incorporated inexpensively into the matrix material? For cost reasons, the route via long glass-fibre granulate can...

...h absorbs about 70% of the volume. ABS blends are also finding increasing use in the electrical and electronics industries. Blends with polycarbonate (PC+ABS) are among the best-known representatives of the ABS blends. For several years, Terblend N, a specialty resin from BASF based on ABS and polyamide (PA), has been growing in importance. In addition to their dimensional stability under heat, (ABS+PA) blends exhibit two unique properties: a very high-grade and matte surface appearance as well ...

...atter category. The sense of touch transmits a pleasant sensation: The assessments range from “soft touch” to “good feeling”. Another reason for the “high-quality” classification of components made of (PA+ABS) blend (BASF product: Terblend N) is its very good acoustic properties. Unlike other materials like ABS or (PC+ABS) blend, it does not have the “tinny” sound we associate with the word “plastic” and encounter when, for example, we tap on a plastic housing. The reason for this is the better...

A newly developed (ABS+PA) blend is characterized by 100% better flowability than standard ABS (Terblend N NM 21 EF). It can be processed with lower injection pressure and/or lower mold temperature, which reduces the cycle time. The new blend can reproduce the tool surface with high fidelity, and is mainly suitable fro the production of par...

...ddition, they offer a range of acoustic and tactile properties; even glass fiber-reinforced parts, which already offer considerable stiffness with low GF admixtures, can be used for visible parts without painting (e.g. Terblend N NG-02). (ABS+PA) blends are therefore predominantly used in the automotive sector. With Terblend N NM 21-EF, Styrolution has recently added an (ABS+PA) blend, which is characterized by even better flow properties. This pays off for the manufacture of largearea parts wit...

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 ...
