STANYL® FORTII™ FOR SSD HIGH SPEED SATA 6GB/S
Solid State Disk Drives (SSDs) are currently experiencing strong market growth as they contribute to higher data reliability, lower weight and noise, faster access times and power reduction.
DSM Engineering Plastics has expanded further its Green Portfolio with the introduction of EcoPaXX™, a bio-based, high performance engineering plastic. The new material, which is based on polyamide (PA) 410, has been developed by DSM in recent years, and is now set to be commercialized. 
Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (Quadrant EPP), the world's leading manufacturer of engineering plastics in stock shapes (rods, sheets, tubes) for machining, introduces additional standard colours to its Radel® PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) Life Science Grade (LSG) portfolio. All Quadrant Radel PPSU LSG stock shapes are certified biocompatible according to ISO 10993, giving designers the confidence that their finished products will successfully past testing whilst at the same time allowing for faster product development at reduced costs. In addition, Quadrant offers lot traceability of its LSG stock shapes while traceability is typically available only for raw materials and guarantees consistency in formulations. Standard colours available now include black, natural (off-white), blue, green yellow, grey, brown, rust-coloured and red, whilst custom colours can be produced on request. Quadrant Radel PPSU LSG stock shapes are available globally as rods and sheets in various sizes, allowing manufacturers to optimize yield with minimized waste. Quadrant’s engineering and service capabilities also include design and production of finished parts. 
Economic turbulence has made a more visible impact on the automotive industry than any other. One of the most recent effects is the decision by Nova Chemicals to discontinue production of its Dylark® styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) engineering resins, important materials for dashboard carriers and other car components. 
DSM Engineering Plastics has introduced a range of both new materials and specific grades of existing materials, designed to deliver the required performance, whilst meeting the overall industry trends for lighter, more effective and greener solutions.
