La resina Valox iQ* de SABIC Innovative Plastics ofrece una alternativa «verde» (además de azul, amarilla y rosa) a los palillos de madera
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Países Bajos – 28 de octubre de 2008 – A diario, por todo Japón, los millones de palillos de madera desechables que se usan en los comedores de oficinas, colegios y otros locales de comidas acaban tirándose a la basura. Ahora, Sanshin Kako, uno de los principales fabricantes de utensilios de cocina para uso profesional del país, está utilizando la resina Valox iQ* 420 HP de altas prestaciones de SABIC Innovative Plastics, un producto que contribuye a las llamadas «tres erres» (reducir, reutilizar y reciclar) y, por tanto, tiene un menor impacto medioambiental. Los palillos de plástico de Sanshin Kako no sólo conservan los recursos naturales, sino que en cada kilogramo de esta resina se emplean hasta 0,87 kilogramos de botellas de polietileno de tereftalato (PET) recicladas que, en caso de no reutilizarse, irían a parar a los vertederos. Los palillos se comercializan en vivos colores personalizados, ofrecen una superficie lisa (a diferencia de la madera, que se astilla con facilidad) y ponen de manifiesto la apuesta de SABIC Innovative Plastics por el desarrollo global de nuevas tecnologías que ayuden a sus clientes a superar los retos medioambientales de hoy en día.

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.
