BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — For BSH Group, a leading manufacturer of consumer appliances, a major design concern is ensuring each product continues to perform well and look great over an extended lifespan. In the case of water kettles, that lifespan is about 10 years and is characterized by repeated cycles of cold and heat as the kettle turns icy tap water into boiling liquid. To meet the rigorous demands of this application, BSH turned to GE’s LEXAN* EXL 1443T resin, which proved its temperature resistance by successfully completing 12,000 test cycles of heating and cooling. LEXAN EXL resin easily surpassed the closest competitive material, which lasted only through 7,500 test cycles, by a wide margin.

This project includes both new compounding lines, which will double total capacity for their Stanyl PA46, Akulon PA6 and Arnite polyesters, and the relocation of the existing facilities in Zhouzhuang in Jiangyin, Jiangsu province in China to a new state of the art plant in Jiangyin Hitech Develoment Zone in Jiangyin. The project will include a major technological upgrade of existing production equipment that will be relocated. DSM’s products are used to manufacture key molded components for the automotive, electrical and electronics industries.
