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.
Heerlen, 09 October 2008 - Following several months of successful tests, commercial production of new high performance EP(D)M grades is now fully operational DSM Elastomers’ new reactive extruder (REX) line and product is now available for shipment to customers. The new REX line is fully integrated in the DSM Elastomers production site in Triunfo, Brazil. The plant uses state of the art technologies for reactive extrusion. 
LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY — OCTOBER 7, 2008
DSM Engineering Plastics has announced a price increase for a number of its materials in EMEA regions. Effective 1 January 2009, or as contracts permit, the following increases will be implemented for all shipments. 
Arnite® T XG510 PBT Halogen Free (HF) PBT grade has received VDE Approval for electrical insulating materials. This new grade, produced by DSM Engineering Plastics is particularly suited for components like connectors in white goods applications, such as washing machines, dryers and dishwashers.
