Milliken exhibe liderazgo global en el mejoramiento de poliolefinas con el lanzamiento del nuevo agente de refuerzo Hyperform®

Las aplicaciones posibles para Hyperform® HPR-803 de Milliken incluyen los parachoques y paneles de puertas

Para ayudar a los fabricantes de automóviles y proveedores a obtener una mayor disminución del peso, Milliken Chemical, una división de, Milliken & Company, presenta el agente de refuerzo de alto rendimiento para olefinas Hyperform® HPR-803. El nuevo Hyperform HPR-803 reduce el peso hasta en un 15 por ciento en comparación con los sistemas tradicionales de relleno mineral a la vez que proporciona un balance de rigidez y fuerza de impacto excepcionales. Además, el nuevo agente de Milliken brinda un acabado de superficie comparable a los compuestos de relleno de talco que no se pueden obtener con el refuerzo de recortes de fibra de vidrio. Al utilizar el refuerzo Hyperform HPR-803 en lugar de los recortes de fibra de vidrio, los clientes pueden ir más allá de las actuales aplicaciones estructurales "ocultas" del prolipropileno y otras poliolefinas en electrodomésticos y automóviles, y aplicarlo en partes altamente visibles como parachoques y paneles de puertas.
 (Photo Milliken, MKPR053)Gent, Bélgica – 15 septiembre 2009 – Con la decisión reciente del Parlamento Europeo instalando nuevos objetivos de emission de CO2 para nuevos vehículos de pasajeros a través de la regulación (EC) No 443/2009, la reducción en el peso promete convertirse en algo aún más imprescindible para la industria de automoción. Para ayudar a los fabricantes de automóviles y proveedores a alcanzar una mayor reducción de peso, Milliken Chemical, una división de Milliken & Company, presenta el agente de refuerzo de alto rendimiento para olefinas Hyperform® HPR-803. El nuevo Hyperform HPR-803 reduce el peso hasta en un 15 por ciento en comparación con los sistemas tradicionales de carga mineral a la vez que proporciona un excepcional balance de rigidez y resistencia al impacto. Además, el nuevo agente de Milliken brinda un acabado de superficie comparable a los compuestos de talco que no se pueden obtener con el refuerzo de fibra de vidrio recortada. La innovación continua en la compañía les permite a los clientes mejorar la apariencia, desempeño y productividad de sus productos, además de expandir el potencial en las áreas de aplicación de las poliolefinas.

HIGH PERFORMANCE OFFSHORE APPLICATIONS BASED ON NEW FLUOROSINT® ENHANCED PTFE GRADES FROM QUADRANT DEMONSTRATED AT OFFSHORE EUROPE 2009

Fluorosint 500Quadrant’s range of enhanced PTFE materials available in full production sizes has been broadened with the addition of two new grades: Fluorosint HPV and Fluorosint MT-01. Fluorosint HPV, especially developed for highly demanding oil & gas applications, is a mica-filled high performance bearing grade that can deliver a pressure velocity (PV) performance improvement of more than 40 % over other PTFE materials according to in-house tests conducted by Quadrant. Parts made of Fluorosint HPV can withstand higher load and velocity while delivering better wear resistance, enabling longer part life compared to existing PTFE-based materials. The product was especially developed to meet the demands of high performance bearing applications where other, low-tech PTFE formulations would exhibit premature wear or can not perform. These characteristics open up interesting new options for engineers and manufacturers.
