Distrupol’s materials knowledge helps deliver wheelchair innovation for young people

Involved from the outset, Distrupol assisted with the selection of material that met the design criteria for the structural parts of the Chunc wheelchair. This included the wheel forks, legs, handles, footplates, locking nuts and supports. The material chosen was injection mouldable Zytel® 80G14, a glass reinforced and impact modified PA 66 from DuPont, bringing the right mix of structural stiffness, impact toughness and colourability required for these demanding components.With its latest contribution to new product development, Distrupol has once again demonstrated the support behind its ‘knowledge that delivers’ promise to customers. This support was clearly shown with the development of the highly innovative Chunc® wheelchair for disabled children and young people. From the outset, the Chunc was conceived as a modular design, utilising injection moulding, and allowing for it to adapt to the child’s needs as he or she grows into their teens. The Chunc Wheelchair brings a new level of user-comfort, no matter what the level of need or stage of growth of the child, together with easy handling by carers.
