DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS HAS ANNOUNCED PRICE INCREASES EFFECTIVE THROUGHOUT THE EMEA REGION FROM NOVEMBER 1ST, 2007
DSM Engineering Plastics said in a statement:
DSM Engineering Plastics has absorbed the impact of significant cost increases over an extended period of time. However, the magnitude of on-going cost increases for raw materials, energy, transportation and logistics make product price increases unavoidable. In order for DSM to achieve a suitable return on investments in technology and innovation it is necessary to off-set some of these cost increases through price rises.

STANYL® PA46 IN TUMBLE VALVES SUPPORT EFFICIENCY IN V6- AND V8- ENGINES
Stanyl®, a high-performance polyamide 46 (PA46) resin from DSM Engineering Plastics, was chosen for the production of tumble valve bearings for the latest generation of the V6 and V8 engines of a high value german car producer. Tumble valves are an integral part of the manifold, optimizing the air flow in the combustion chamber. It is the first time that such tumble valves have been produced by assembly molding and Stanyl® played an important role in making this possible.

AKULON ULTRAFLOW IS IMPRESSIVE
Swedish firm Sveico has produced a new design garlic press, which will be sold under the company's GastroMax label. The company selected Akulon Ultraflow from DSM Engineering Plastics, because the material offered greater design freedom and is easy for filling complex molds. In addition, Akulon Ultraflow was able to deliver low cycle times with a 40% saving in production time compared to other polyamides, lower investment in machine and moulds, longer lifetime for machine and mould thanks to lower mould pressure, lower energy consumption and shorter cooling time.

MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF HIGH HEAT RESINS
At K 2007, DSM Engineering Plastics will demonstrate how its portfolio of materials can lead to significant system cost reductions in comparison to high heat resins such as PPA, PPS, PEI and PEEK. Key examples include Arnite XL for automotive lighting applications and Akulon Ultraflow for automotive interior. Stanyl PA46 also often allows for a reduction in system costs and/or to optimize designs thanks to its unmatched stiffness at high temperatures and the extreme good fatigue resistance.

NEW HIGH FLOW AND HIGH PRODUCTIVITY MATERIALS FROM DSM
DSM Engineering Plastics has introduced a range of High Flow & High Productivity materials, which enable significant system cost reductions, when compared to standard resins. Added value for the customer is generated by these materials via shorter production cycles leading to lower processing costs per part, greater design freedom leading to lower material and/or processing costs per part and more room for innovation, such as metal replacement. To demonstrate the potential for cost reduction and annual savings, DSM Engineering Plastics is able to provide customers with Product Cost Analysis spreadsheet tools.
