Ascend bringing new materials to Battery Show
At The Battery Show North America, Ascend Performance Materials will feature its new flame-retardant nylons for EV safety applications and its Trinohex® Ultra electrolyte additive, which improves lithium-ion battery safety, extends cycle life and boosts performance.
Henkel’s TEROSON® and LOCTITE® collision repair products achieve the best of both worlds – an OEM-standard finish in the shortest amount of time. These repair, rebuild and replacement products have been developed to be completely reliable, simple, and quick to use; saving time and money and creating a finish that ensures excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today introduced SABIC® PP compound G3430X and SABIC PP compound G3440X grades, two new short-glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP) compounds offering enhanced performance and processing for demanding automotive under-hood, exterior and interior applications. The two advanced grades surpass high-performing standard short-glass fiber materials in melt flow, tensile and flexural strength, and flexural modulus. SABIC PP compound G3430X and G3440X grades give customers new opportunities to raise the performance bar for automotive structural components such as brackets, seat structures and center consoles. Furthermore, thanks to their thin-wall capability, both materials can be used to design parts with lower mass and weight.
The competence leader KRAIBURG TPE will present itself with a broad portfolio covering every aspect of sustainability at the upcoming K 2022 trade fair held from October 19 to 26 in Düsseldorf. Traditionally located at “Rubber Street”, the manufacturer provides issues and solutions involving thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) as well as an extended service portfolio.
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today introduced a specialized portfolio of SABIC® PP compounds for foam injection molding (FIM). New mineral-reinforced SABIC® PPc F9005, PPc F9007 and PPc F9015 grades can help deliver excellent aesthetics for visible automotive interior parts with complex geometries, such as door panels and trim, seat and trunk cladding, A/B/C/D pillar covers and center consoles. Unlike standard FIM materials, which typically exhibit surface defects, the new advanced PP compounds feature uniformly high surface quality similar to solid injection molded parts. Compared to solid components, foamed parts made with SABIC PP compounds offer significant weight savings that can help cut emissions. According to a cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment study (pending third-party review), the advanced new materials can help OEMs lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by as much as 15 percent.
