La resina Valox iQ* di SABIC Innovative Plastics offre un’alternativa
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 28 ottobre 2008 – Ogni giorno in Giappone dopo ogni pasto vengono gettate via milioni di bacchette monouso in legno nelle mense di scuole, uffici e in altri luoghi di ristorazione. Sanshin Kako, uno dei produttori leader di stoviglie da tavola ad uso professionale del paese, utilizza le resine di alta qualità Valox iQ* 420 HP di SABIC Innovative Plastics per fornire un prodotto più ecocompatibile che contribuisca alle tre "R": ridurre, riutilizzare e riciclare. Le bacchette in plastica di Sanshin Kako non solo conservano le risorse naturali, ma consentono che per ogni chilogrammo di questa resina vengano impiegati fino a 87 chilogrammi di bottiglie in polietilene tereftalato (PET) usate che altrimenti si accumulerebbero nelle discariche. Queste bacchette, disponibili in vivaci colori personalizzabili, vantano una superficie più liscia rispetto a quelle in legno che tendono a scheggiarsi, dimostrando l’impegno da parte di SABIC Innovative Plastics nel mettere a punto nuove tecnologie su scala globale che consentano ai propri clienti di vincere le sfide ecologiche contemporanee.

Precision injection molding in model making
Akulon® Ultraflow™ from DSM Engineering Plastics provides high cost savings potential
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.
