SABIC Innovative Plastics’ Valox iQ* Resin Provides a “Green” – and Blue, Yellow & Pink – Alternative to Wooden Chopsticks
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – October 28, 2008 – Everyday across Japan millions of disposable wooden chopsticks are discarded after every meal in office lunchrooms, schools, and other eating venues. Now, Sanshin Kako, one of the country’s leading professional-use tableware manufacturers, is using SABIC Innovative Plastics’ high-performance Valox iQ* 420 HP resin to deliver a more environmentally responsible product contributing to the three Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle. Not only do Sanshin Kako’s plastic chopsticks conserve natural resources, but each kilogram of this resin uses up to .87 kilograms of post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, which would otherwise sit in the landfill. These chopsticks are available in vivid, custom colors, offer a smooth surface as compared to easily splintered wood, and represent SABIC Innovative Plastics’ commitment to the global development of new technologies that help their customers overcome today’s environmental challenges.

Precision injection molding in model making
Akulon® Ultraflow™ from DSM Engineering Plastics provides high cost savings potential
Sittard, The Netherlands, 22 October 2008 – Akulon® Ultraflow™ PA6 from DSM Engineering Plastics is characterized by excellent material properties in combination with optimized processability. Above all, the polymer offers superior, up to 80 % higher flow rates than conventional nylon resins, and can thus be molded more easily. As a result, the improved injection performance leads to cycle time reductions of up to 40 %, depending on the specific application. In addition, the material can be processed at lower temperatures, contributing to enhanced energy efficiency. Higher injection speed and faster crystallization allow molders to operate with lower clamp forces (smaller machines) or higher-cavity molds. This in turn reduces the cost per part or also the machine hour rates.
