STRIX RELIES ON STANYL® FROM DSM FOR THERMAL CONNECTOR USED IN LAUNCH OF BODUM MOCCA ESPRESSO MAKER
DSM Engineering Plastics Stanyl® TE250F6 30% glass-reinforced high-temperature polyamide 46 (PA46) is the material used for the combination power switch/cycle light and actuator in the Bodum Mocca espresso maker. Behind the decorative fascia, a thermostatic device operates a pushrod that resets the trip lever on the coffeemaker’s integral Strix brand U44 control and water heater, sealed into the base of the appliance. Because the Stanyl actuator lever is necessarily situated close to the coffeemaker’s heat source, the design exploits the mechanical properties of Stanyl. These include high surface and volume electrical resistivity, stiffness and strength at temperatures of 140 degrees, resistance to fatigue, and moldability.

Antibacterial Electrical Products Available Now
Although we use many different switches every day not many people realize that the switches they touch can also transmit disease. Bacteria present on our hands is transferred to a light switch once we touch it, bacteria accumulate on the switch and propagate. The bacteria are then transmitted to the next person who touches the switch. There can be many transfers and transmissions of infectious diseases through this method especially in public location. Polygiene technology from Perstorp AB of Sweden has been proven to kill many bacteria on contact and by doing so helps break the transmission path of disease.
