... future. Styrenic polymers are widely used for the transportation industry. They are used for interior and exterior car applications, for two-wheelers, trucks and agricultural 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...

... automotive applications. The announcement of Minda Industries Limited – Lighting Division (an Indian automotive lamp manufacturer) to use Ineos Styrolution’s Novodur HH-112 for the rear lamp housing application of a leading 4-wheeler model in India is a typical example for the use of ABS in the automotive sector. Novodur HH-112 enjoys a track record of more than ten years being the material of choice in terms of performance and process ability for rear lamp and housing applications and is curr...

These engineering thermoplastics have high impact strength and rigidity as well as thermal stability and dimensional accuracy. The industry’s increased requirements on decoration are fulfilled by u...

Test Run in the Pilot Plant The unit was tested in the pilot plant of Bayer Polymers, Leverkusen/Germany. The tests were carried out with Novodur M203 FC (ABS self-colouring grade, Bayer Polymers) on an injection moulding machine having a clamping force of 1500kN (manufacturer: Engel, 3-zone standard screw, diameter 45mm, no mixers). The Colorsave 1000 feed unit was mounted directly between ho...

Besides the special products just mentioned, there may be a need to use other types of PA. Materials such as Novodur and Lustran (ABS), Pocan (PBT) and other thermoplastics can be processed with WIT. However, since distinct quality differences arise even within the same product group, tests must be performed in each individual case to check that WIT processing is reproduci...

Having consulted several raw material producers, Protoform selected the material (ABS, Novodur type; manufacturer: Lanxess AG, Leverkusen) and suggested using an electrolytic chromium plating technology. The development and production order (small batch manufacturing) placed with Protoform specified the delivery of five initial samples to be produced acc...

A PA+ABS blend (type Novodur; manufacturer: Lanxess AG, Leverkusen, Germany) proved particularly suitable as core component. The IKV is currently extending the fluid-assist injection molding technologies to produce multicomponent hollow parts with a PU skin. Summary Proc...

Electroplated auto parts are an area that imposes multiple and sometimes conflicting requirements on products. Novodur Ultra 4140PG is a specialty ABS polymer for automotive front-grills, trim and metallized emblems. It has much greater heat resistance than ABS and has high impact strength, but does not suffer from the familiar disadvantages of ABS blends, most of which con...
