LOWER COST AND INCREASED PERFORMANCE FOR ODU'S NEW MAC LC (SMT VERSION), POWERED BY DSM'S STANYL FORTII
ODU Steckverbindungssysteme GmbH, a leading connector manufacturing company in Mühldorf, Germany, has selected high performance Stanyl® ForTii™ from DSM Engineering Plastics for its latest ODU MAC LC (Modular Attachable Connector rectangular – Low Cycle Version), which was developed specifically for PCB – termination without frame. The ODU MAC LC (Low Cycle) series is part of a highly economical modular system, capable of delivering up to 5,000 mating cycles. The application requires a high temperature plastic material suitable for SMT (Surface Mount Technology) soldering and with excellent electrical properties.
Ghent, Belgium – 6 January, 2010 – Milliken will present its innovative high performance reinforcing agent, Hyperform® HPR-803 and its Hyperform® HPN nucleating additvies for polyolefins at the VDI’s plastics in automotive engineering conference 2010 in Mannheim, Germany. The Hyperform® HPR-803 agent is very suitable for customers in the automotive market, seeking opportunities to reduce the weight of their polypropylene car parts. Hyperform® HPN nucleating additvies for polyolefins are bringing advantages to polyolefins in the domains of productivity; quality, dimensional control, coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CLTE) optimization and mechanical property improvements.
Underbody shielding manufactured by Takeo Automotive Systems and made of SymaLITE® from Quadrant Plastics Composites has now been specified for the BMW Z4. The lightweight shielding covers a significant part of the car’s underbody, resulting in an enhancement of its aerodynamics and a more comfortable, silent riding quality and better fuel efficiency.
T-CONN, one of the major local connector manufacturer in Taiwan, has selected Stanyl® ForTii™ as the halogen-free housing material for its wide range of battery connectors. Stanyl Fortii not only meets the stringent material requirements of SMT soldering technology, it also offers outstanding performance in dimensional stability, full compliance to JEDEC MSL level 2, high toughness and extreme pin retention forces. As a result, Stanyl ForTii leads to a significant reliability improvement versus LCPs (Liquid Crystal Polymers) and to better processing compared to PPAs. Following the approval in battery connectors, T-CONN has started to expand the usage of Stanyl ForTii also to their FPC product line.
