“Our heads are made round, so that our thinking can change direction” – the German architect Jens Hirschberg quotes the French author, painter and illustrator Francis Picabia to underline the concept of Symball, a membrane-covered, self-supporting steel-framed dome, measuring five to 20m diameter.
Polypropylene processing companies are being offered increased flexibility in the use of high-speed nucleating technology as a result of Milliken Chemical’s introduction of Hyperform® HI5-5, a concentrated form of its Hyperform nucleating agent. The concentrated form allows plastics processors to determine the optimal approach in using high-speed nucleation to boost productivity and enhance product quality.
The German company, Polyamide High Performance (PHP) GmbH uses DSM Engineering Plastics’ fibre-grade Stanyl KS411 polyamide 4,6 (PA46) in the production of PHP’s new Stanylenka™ 460HRST fibre. Stanylenka is primarily used in transmission and V-belts and, thanks to its high-temperature strength, in sewing thread for automotive airbags. Stanylenka’s melting point is 30 °C higher than alternative PA66 grades. V-belts made of the high-strength Stanylenka offer a lower system cost in power transmission systems, since the yarn's very low creep and self-tensioning characteristics in this application allow the belts to be used without a tensioner.
At Emballage, Eastman Chemical Company will demonstrate how its product range brings added benefits to design and creative marketing professionals in the packaging market – ranging from luxury packaging to shrink sleeves, device packaging and fluid packaging.
DSM Engineering Plastics has confirmed a 6% price adjustment for all grades of Stanyl® high performance polyamide 46 resin.
