ELIX Polymers showed key benefits of new generation AMS-free High Heat polymers at Fakuma

Tarragona, October 27, 2015 – ELIX Polymers, a leading specialist in ABS high performance materials, showcased a new generation high heat polymers. ELIX High Heat ABS resins combine low emission/odor, high flow, high heat resistance, well balanced mechanical properties and excellent processability and paintability.

First introduced earlier this year at the VDI conference Plastics in Automotive Engineering, this latest product development is based on breakthrough AMS-free chemistry and able to meet the stringent requirements of the Automotive Industry and is suitable for interior and exterior applications.

The new range offers a range of performance benefits. These include high to extremely high heat resistance ranging from vicat 105°C to 114°C; improved melt volume rate to reduce cycle times; a 1-2% reduction in density to 1.03 g/cm3; emission reduction of up to 90%; and higher impact values compared to similar products currently in the market.

Fabian Herter, Industry Manager Automotive at ELIX Polymers said: “The unique combination of AMS-free technology, improved processability and weight reduction make this new range an attractive option for processors. We believe this new range is a major step forward and provides and attractive and better alternative.”
