ARNITEL® TPEE BRINGS PERFORMANCE CONSISTENCY AND LONG SERVICE LIFE TO DUREL RAILWAY SPRINGS

Durel® springs consist of tori of Arnitel® TPEE separated by steel disks and centered on a guiding rod. Joint development between Durel GmbH and DSM Engineering Plastics has resulted in a range of railway side buffer springs, draft gears and, in more demanding safety applications, crash buffers capable of absorbing large amounts of energy. The designs combine metal with Arnitel® thermoplastic polyether elastomer (TPEE). Acting as a spring, Arnitel TPEE absorbs and releases energy in predictable ways over a long service life, helping trains to start, accelerate, decelerate and stop smoothly. Unlike metal springs, Arnitel TPEE does not rust, deteriorate, fracture or lose its springiness. In contrast to rubber, Arnitel TPEE does not lose its ability to act as a spring over time -- the DSM material has a field life of at least 20 years versus 5-10 for rubber.

SENSOR HARNESSES USED IN JET ENGINE TESTING DEPEND ON THE HEAT STRENGTH & DURABILITY OF STANYL®

Cost-effective production of thinwall connectors for jet engine test harnesses benefit from the heat resistance and durability of Stanyl® polyamide 4,6 (PA46). Such harnesses must withstand extremes of vibration and temperatureSensor systems for jet engine testing – critical to development and qualification -- face tough conditions, ranging from extreme vibration to broad fluctuation in temperature. Connectors for the many harnesses in one manufacturer’s systems are made of Stanyl® polyamide 4,6 (PA46), taking advantage of the cost effectiveness, design freedom, heat resistance, dimensional stability, stiffness and durability of Stanyl grades.
