Development service at the highest level

Specialty chemicals company LANXESS is actively participating at this year’s VDI “Plastics in Automotive Engineering” conference in Mannheim under the slogan “Teamwork Energized by LANXESS”.
New areas of application for polyamide and PBT
 |
The megatrend towards electric and hybrid vehicles is opening up varied and promising areas of application for Durethan polyamides and Pocan polybutylene terephthalates (PBT) from LANXESS.
Polyamide 6 for gasoline engine tanks
 |
Substantial amounts of hydrocarbons leak through the walls of plastic fuel tanks in gasoline engines to the outside and pollute the atmosphere – a phenomenon known as permeation. LANXESS is therefore working on special blow-moldable grades of polyamide 6 that act as an extremely effective barrier against gasoline fuels.
New polyamides for foamed injection moldings
 |
LANXESS has developed a new polyamide 6 and polyamide 66 Durethan designed specifically for physical and chemical foaming.
Uncoated radiator grille with high-quality surface
 |
Pocan C 1202, a blend of polybutylene terephthalate and polycarbonate (PBT+PC) newly developed by LANXESS for large exterior truck components, has proven highly effective in an initial series application.
New, extremely soft, super-tough grade of polyamide 6
 |
The new Durethan BC 700 HTS from LANXESS is an exceptionally soft polyamide 6. It has an elasticity modulus of only 210 MPa (conditioned).
High quality for pipes with large cross-sections
 |
Gas and water injection technology (GIT/WIT) are established processes for manufacturing pipes used in vehicle engine compartments. LANXESS has now added Durethan TP 424-009 (to be known in the future as Durethan AKV 30 G HR DUS 023) to its product portfolio for these processes and this application segment.
