New Nepol™ long, glass fibre reinforced polypropylene concentrate from Borealis for technically demanding injection moulded automotive parts
There is a growing trend to use dilution technology as a cost effective route for technically demanding injection moulded applications. This technology reduces the quantity of compounded material used by diluting a concentrated long, glass fibre compound (“concentrate”) with reactor polypropylene (PP) at the injection moulding stage. To meet the needs of customers making this transition from conventional moulding, Borealis has launched Nepol™ GB600HP-9502.

Protective Vest Solution Prevents Double Trouble
Urmond, November 22 – You won’t need super powers to repel bullets and knives, thanks to a new technology for dual protection vests that combines two leading products: Dyneema® high-performance polyethylene fiber from DSM for ballistic protection, and Steelskin® steel cord material from Bekaert for stab protection. Combination of these two materials offers body armor manufacturers new market opportunities by providing the lightest possible solution for dual protection vests within the same class of protection, compared to competitive materials and technology. Law enforcement officers benefit from enhanced flexibility, which increases comfort and ease of movement.
