Your need is … to develop sustainable chemical products that minimize the use of fossil resources, without limiting the functionalities and quality of currently used systems.
New nylon powder that allow a higher surface aspect and provides plastic mimics to the prototype
Mecaplast switched to Innov'PA powder for their Selective Laser Sintering production
In the automotive industry, manufacturers are focusing on using lighter and aesthetic materials to fulfill their design requirements without sacrificing top quality.
Automotive under-the-hood environments need materials with critical properties. More precisely, aluminum and other metal tubes conveying fluids such as brake, fuel, air conditioning, power steering and heat exchangers require coatings with superior resistance to ...
Rilsan® PA exhibits an outstanding resistance to fuels and salts. Thanks to its high dimensional stability and its barrier to moisture property, Rilsan® PA12 complies with the very demanding specification of fuel filter housings
Major automotive OEMs specify either Rilsan® PA11 or PA12 for their hydraulic hoses. Hoses made from Rilsan® PA benefit from the combination of high pressure resistance, ozone resistance and long service life of Rilsan® PA
Resistance to a wide range of chemicals and good weatherability are key safety properties for airbrake tubes and ...
