DSM Engineering Plastics enhances their wear resistant portfolio for Stanyl®
DSM today announced the launch of a new grade in Stanyl®. Stanyl, a high performance polyamide is used extensively for automotive applications where extreme wear resistance is required. The new grade named Stanyl TW272B6 is a special grade with very high stiffness and outstanding wear resistance suited ideally for taking very high loads during sliding and roller bearing applications.
Hironobu Maeda, Business Development Manager, DSM Engineering Plastics Japan: “We approached our customer who was providing the power operated door modules to a leading Japanese car manufacturer. In this application they were overmolding plastic on a metal bearing. With Stanyl, they could eliminate the complete bearing from the system. Stanyl TW272B6 improved the noise performance and brought system cost reductions to meet the expectations of their OEM.”
Sanjay Jain, Product Manager – Stanyl, DSM Engineering Plastics Asia Pacific: “DSM has been working closely with leading automotive Tier 1 suppliers to help them achieve their technical specifications. Stanyl TW272B6 was specially developed to replace metal and exotic materials. This new grade launch compliments our existing portfolio of wear resistant materials and broadens our offering to the market”
