DIAPER CHAMP KEEPS THE EARTH—AND LIVING SPACES—MORE HABITABLE WITH DIAPER CHAMP'S SEAL OF ARNITEL® ELASTOMER FROM DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS
A recently re-designed Diaper Champ, an innovative, odourless diaper pail from Garland BV (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), uses Arnitel® copolyester thermoplastic elastomer seals from DSM Engineering Plastics. In conjunction with a reverse piston action during disposal, the seals prevent the spread of odours from the Diaper Champ to living areas around the container. Arnitel provides durable flexibility combined with low friction and high abrasion resistance to help ensure positive sealing throughout the life of Diaper Champ. Available globally, Diaper Champ is an important component of the growing trend in recycling the valuable materials in infant and adult hygiene diapers.
DSM, the largest manufacturer of high performance polyethylene (HPPE) fiber in the world, today announces its decision to make another investment in a new production line for Dyneema® fiber in Greenville, North Carolina (USA).

Borealis has developed the Bormed™ family of dedicated healthcare polyolefins to satisfy the demand from the pharmaceutical industry for consistency of quality and appropriateness for healthcare applications. The Bormed range, which is successfully growing in sales, comprises polypropylene (PP), low density polyethylene (LDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) grades precisely tailored for the injection and blow moulding of medical devices as well as pharmaceutical and diagnostics packaging.
There is a growing trend to use dilution technology as a cost effective route for technically demanding injection moulded applications. This technology reduces the quantity of compounded material used by diluting a concentrated long, glass fibre compound (“concentrate”) with reactor polypropylene (PP) at the injection moulding stage. To meet the needs of customers making this transition from conventional moulding, Borealis has launched Nepol™ GB600HP-9502. 
Urmond, November 22 – You won’t need super powers to repel bullets and knives, thanks to a new technology for dual protection vests that combines two leading products: Dyneema® high-performance polyethylene fiber from DSM for ballistic protection, and Steelskin® steel cord material from Bekaert for stab protection. Combination of these two materials offers body armor manufacturers new market opportunities by providing the lightest possible solution for dual protection vests within the same class of protection, compared to competitive materials and technology. Law enforcement officers benefit from enhanced flexibility, which increases comfort and ease of movement.
