Nieuw Nepol™ lang, glasvezelversterkt polypropyleenconcentraat van Borealis voor technisch veeleisende spuitgegoten auto-onderdelen
Er is een groeiende trend om de verdunningstechnologie te gebruiken als kostenbesparende methode voor technisch veeleisende spuitgiettoepassingen. Deze technologie vermindert de kwantiteit van het gebruikte compoundmateriaal door een geconcentreerde lange glasvezelverbinding ("concentraat") te verdunnen met reactor polypropyleen (PP) in de fase van het spuitgieten. Om te voldoen aan de behoeften van de klanten voor de overstap van traditionele methoden, heeft Borealis Nepol™ GB600HP-9502 op de markt gebracht.

Protective Vest Solution Prevents Double Trouble
Urmond, November 22 – You won’t need super powers to repel bullets and knives, thanks to a new technology for dual protection vests that combines two leading products: Dyneema® high-performance polyethylene fiber from DSM for ballistic protection, and Steelskin® steel cord material from Bekaert for stab protection. Combination of these two materials offers body armor manufacturers new market opportunities by providing the lightest possible solution for dual protection vests within the same class of protection, compared to competitive materials and technology. Law enforcement officers benefit from enhanced flexibility, which increases comfort and ease of movement.
