DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS EXTENDS DIABLO FAMILY FOR FURTHER WEIGHT REDUCTION IN AUTOMOTIVE UNDER-THE-BONNET APPLICATIONS
Following the successful introduction in 2007 of Stanyl® Diablo OCD2100, a high performance grade of Stanyl for under-the-bonnet (UTB) applications, DSM has introduced new Diablo high heat resins: Stanyl Diablo® OCD2300 and Akulon Diablo® injection and blow molding grades. These products are a direct response to some of the main trends in the automotive industry, including weight reduction. The new materials also facilitate system cost optimizations and productivity gains, long term sustainability and reduced environmental impact.

AKULON FUEL LOCK FROM DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS PROMOTES CLEANER AIR BY MINIMIZING EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS FROM FUEL TANKS
DSM Engineering Plastics has launched a unique new material that can make a significant contribution to air quality. Akulon® Fuel Lock, a mono-polyamide 6 technology, dramatically reduces evaporative emissions from the fuel tanks of non-road outdoor equipment and vehicles with small, spark-ignition engines. In fact, tests of a tank with a nominal 2 mm wall thickness molded from Akulon Fuel Lock showed an exceptionally low evaporative emission rate less than 20 percent of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation limit.

DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS LAUNCHES 5 NEW GRADES OF ITS BIO-BASED ECOPAXX RESIN
Last year DSM Engineering Plastics introduced EcoPaXX™, a bio-based, high performance engineering plastic. EcoPaXX is a polyamide (PA) 410, and belongs to the family of the “long-chain polyamides”. It pairs typical long-chain polyamide properties, such as low moisture absorption and excellent chemical resistance, with high melting point (highest of all bio-based polyamides: ca. 250oC, see graph: melting point of bio-based polyamides as function of amide bond density) and high crystallization rate (typical for engineering plastics such as Akulon PA66 and Stanyl PA 46). It combines the best of both worlds and is therefore suitable for many high-tech applications.
