VALEO AND DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS COLLABORATE ON INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES TO REDUCE VEHICLES’ ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
DSM Engineering Plastics today announced the expansion of its longstanding partnership with French firm Valeo to develop enhanced technologies for reducing the environmental impact from vehicles. Valeo Engine Management Systems, a division of Valeo, is leveraging the superior performance and aesthetics of Arnite polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polybutylene terephthalate/polyethylene (PBT/PET) resins from DSM Engineering Plastics in several innovative engine systems: electronic throttle control (ETC) exhaust gas recirculation (EGR); and ignition systems. By replacing traditional materials with Arnite resins, Valeo is able to advance its market-leading engine management solutions and offer automakers new ways to enhance driving satisfaction while minimizing environmental implications.

Newly appointed commercial manager for Zeeland Seaports also responsible for Biopark Terneuzen future development
Terneuzen, The Netherlands, 5 November 2008 – In June, as part of the continuing drive to grow its port activities together with its Biopark Terneuzen initiative, Zeeland Seaports appointed Peter Geertse (42) to the post of Commercial Manager. Geertse, whose training is in commercial economics and port and transport management, brings 23 years of shipping and container operations’ knowledge and expertise to the job. His recent experience includes 11 years in a senior management post with the EWL/Europe West Indies Lines and before that with Hamburg Sud.
DSM Engineering Plastics has announced the launch of Stanyl® LED 1551, the latest grade of Stanyl used in plastic lead chip carriers (PLCC) for high brightness LED’s. These LED’s are conventionally selected for back lighting LCD display panels used in Mobile phones, PDAs, notebook PCs and hand held devices. 
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.
Although automotive and industrial tubes and hoses vary widely, ranging from vacuum brake tubing and pneumatic tubing to hydraulic hoses, they all have something in common – they can benefit from the use of Arnitel thermoplastic copolymer-based elastomer (TPC) from DSM Engineering Plastics. This unique material combines the strength and processability of thermoplastics with the flexibility of a thermoset rubber – without the need for vulcanization. Arnitel TPC grades enhance design freedom, deliver a range of desirable properties for demanding automotive and industrial environments, and can reduce processing and system costs.
Heerlen, 09 October 2008 - Following several months of successful tests, commercial production of new high performance EP(D)M grades is now fully operational DSM Elastomers’ new reactive extruder (REX) line and product is now available for shipment to customers. The new REX line is fully integrated in the DSM Elastomers production site in Triunfo, Brazil. The plant uses state of the art technologies for reactive extrusion.
