...A) alloys at elevated temperatures has been verified by means of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) [1, 14]. In some (PPE+PA66) alloys, the storage modulus E’ also increases with the PPE content (Fig. 5). The (PPE+PA) alloys under the trade name Noryl GTX are a well-known commercial example [4, 12]. These are engineering thermoplastics with the strength and stiffness required for large automotive body parts as well as the high heat deflection temperature needed for in- or online painting. These (...

... emission-reduced and low-odour polyphenylene oxide (PPO) materials (grade: Noryl) will be available for automotive engineering in future which have been specially designed for instrument panels. A further development is a modified PPO blend (grade: Noryl GTX) with a high thermal conductivity, for online paintable body components. GE Plastics (GEP) presented a world first in the form of a material with the trial designation W4, presumably a polycarbonate copolymer, which is suitable for the prod...

... latter include the hinges and lock mechanism of the rear door, which must not affect the acoustics in the vehicle interior or ease of opening the rear door. The front mudguard of the Vel Satis, which was previously made of Noryl GTX (PPE+PA), a traditional material at Renault, has also been replaced with an SMC model. In contrast to the rear door, however, this module cannot be produced entirely, including painting, at Inoplast. It must be painted on the Renault production line to allow seamles...

...ek, Robert Killermann With the market launch of the BMW 6 series in 2003 thermoplastic side panels found their first large-volume application in the BMW Group. This involves a polymer blend of polyamide (PA) and polyphenylene oxide (PPO; grade: Noryl GTX 963) from GE Plastics in Bergen op Zoom/Netherlands. The weight saving achieved by comparison with conventional side panels made of steel is about four kilograms per vehicle. Furthermore, the use of this thermoplastic side panel fulfilled the ...

...nd surface of the foil can be applied where it can be protected from mechanical abrasion or chemical attack. Similarly, a powder coating where no VOCs are released can replace paints with high proportions of solvents. High temperature plastics, e.g. Noryl GTX, the (PA + PPO) blend of Sabic Innovative Plastics, withstand the high furnace temperatures for curing the powder coating. They can also contain a conductive filler and thus make the coating with a conductive primer superfluous. Few...

In recent years, Sabic, Ineos and Rhodia have presented polymers for painting carbody parts online or inline (mainly PA66 grades and PA blends). With its Noryl GTX, Sabic offers a wide product portfolio based on (PA+PPE) blends, and Ineos has mineral-reinforced (PA+ABS) blends on the market. Even so, every new part at the OEM represents a challenge for everyone involved, since the auto...

Sabic Innovative Plastics Holding BV in Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands, offers Noryl GTX, an alternative material for car body application. It was designed on a PA-PPE blend basis. Ineos Olefins & Polymers Europe in Grangemouth, Great Britain, moves forward with mineral-reinforced (PA+ABS) blends. However, for these materials, penetration of t...
