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.

ARNITEL® TPC FROM DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS ADDS CORE VALUE TO AUTOMOTIVE AND INDUSTRIAL HOSES AND TUBING
Although automotive and industrial tubes and hoses vary widely, ranging from vacuum brake tubing and pneumatic tubing to hydraulic hoses, they all have something in common – they can benefit from the use of Arnitel thermoplastic copolymer-based elastomer (TPC) from DSM Engineering Plastics. This unique material combines the strength and processability of thermoplastics with the flexibility of a thermoset rubber – without the need for vulcanization. Arnitel TPC grades enhance design freedom, deliver a range of desirable properties for demanding automotive and industrial environments, and can reduce processing and system costs.
