LE NOUVEAU PA46 STANYL® HAUTE FLUIDITE DE DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS PERMET D’OBTENIR DES PIECES RESISTANTES à LA CHALEUR, PLUS MINCES ET PLUS SOLIDES

Un nouveau grade de polyamide 46 (PA46) Stanyl® à haute fluidité est disponible chez DSM Engineering Plastics. Destiné aussi bien aux pièces de grande taille qu’aux composants de formes complexes, le 46HF4130, renforcé 30% fibres de verre et stabilisé chaleur, offre une grande résistance mécanique à température élevée. Son comportement à l’écoulement est amélioré de plus de 160% par rapport à celui des formules standards de PA46 renforcées à 30% fibres de verre (170 mm à l’écoulement spiralé à 1 000 bars contre 100 mm pour les formules classiques).

Core module bonding solutions that meet all Smart Card application needs

3MThe development of smarter and greater data-rich modules has presented the smart card industry with a range of new challenges. Chief among them is the attachment of the micro modules to the broader span of plastic substrates now being exploited by the industry. Traditionally, electronically read cards have been produced in PVC but evolution of the technology, coupled with the demand for greater durability, ever higher levels of security and enhanced aesthetics capability, has resulted in the increasing use of high tech engineering plastics that are difficult to bond and which require more sophisticated adhesive solutions.

Borouge developing into world scale petrochemical complex

The planned expansions are a major step in developing Borouge into a leading polyolefins company in the Middle East based on a world scale petrochemical complex.
