POLIMOON SPECIFIES AKULON® ULTRAFLOW® PA6 FOR VOLVO ENGINE COVER
Polimoon Norway, a major European supplier of plastic products and parts, working in collaboration with DSM Engineering Plastics, has chosen DSM’s Akulon® UltraFlow® polyamide 6 (PA6) for production of a new engine cover for the Volvo T6 2.9l V6 engine in the Volvo CX90 sports utility vehicle. The material, Akulon UltraFlow grade K-FGHM24 (10 percent glass and 20 percent mineral filled, heat-stabilised) was chosen for its ability to mould large-area, thin parts with shorter cycle times, better engineering performance and better aesthetics than such competing materials as polypropylene or PA66.

GE’s Conductive, Powder-Coatable Noryl GTX* Resins Help Eliminate Paint, Open Vast, New Design Options for Furniture Makers
BERGEN OP ZOOM, NETHERLANDS — May 18, 2005 — GE’s Noryl GTX* resins, a family of widely used conductive grades originally developed for European automotive manufacturers, are becoming equally successful in a new industry – office furniture. Specifically, Noryl GTX conductive resin is being used in powder-coated moulded plastic furniture, providing a host of design, aesthetic, environmental, and cost benefits compared to moulded-in colour, wet-painted parts, and even powder-coated metal. Among these are greater design freedom that helps enable part consolidation, lower weight than metal, and the elimination of paint solvents that can negatively impact the environment.
