DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS LAUNCHES 5 NEW GRADES OF ITS BIO-BASED ECOPAXX RESIN
Last year DSM Engineering Plastics introduced EcoPaXX™, a bio-based, high performance engineering plastic. EcoPaXX is a polyamide (PA) 410, and belongs to the family of the “long-chain polyamides”. It pairs typical long-chain polyamide properties, such as low moisture absorption and excellent chemical resistance, with high melting point (highest of all bio-based polyamides: ca. 250oC, see graph: melting point of bio-based polyamides as function of amide bond density) and high crystallization rate (typical for engineering plastics such as Akulon PA66 and Stanyl PA 46). It combines the best of both worlds and is therefore suitable for many high-tech applications.

Ghent, Belgium – 23 November 2010 – Milliken’s Hyperform® HPN nucleating agents provide major improvements in performance and processability of polypropylene (PP) grades intended for thermoforming as well as injection moulding. They provide the action to match the words of the company’s theme for K 2010 – “Increasing sustainability through additive innovation.” 
DSM Engineering Plastics and K.D. Feddersen have entered into a distribution agreement, to join forces in the market development and sales of DSM Engineering Plastics resins in Denmark.
Lyon, France – November 17, 2010 ---- Rhodia is extending its TechnylStar® high-flow polyamide 66 technology to a new generation of unfilled grades that demonstrate unmet performance in terms of energy consumption reduction. 
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – November 16, 2010 – At K 2010, SABIC Innovative Plastics launched its latest high-tech thermoplastic offering – a new family of Noryl GTX* resins – to give global automotive OEMs and tiers a major design advantage. These new conductive blends of polyamide (PA) and modified polyphenylene ether (PPE) cut coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) by 20 to 40 percent vs. previous grades for increased dimensional stability and improved gap and flush management, giving automotive designers greater freedom to create larger top-quality, high-precision body panels than previously feasible, and which integrate into existing processes, including higher-heat online painting systems. These high-performance materials underscore SABIC Innovative Plastics’ strategic focus on helping automotive customers create differentiated designs that also promote system cost reduction and sustainability through weight-out.
