Polyplastics develops new Duracon(R)POM Grades for automotive fuel system components

摘要

THE Polyplastics Group has announced the development of several new Duracon(R)polyoxymethylene(POM)grades which deliver high flow,high rigidity,and design freedom for the production of injection-molded automotive fuel system components.The new materials complement Polyplastics’flagship Duracon(R)POM portfolio which is already widely used for automotive fuel system components due to its excellent fuel resistance.The company has commercially launched Duracon(R)H140-54C,a high-flow/high-rigidity grade with a melt flow rate(MFR)of around 14.This material suits a wide range of molding conditions(cylinder conditions,injection pressure)and is used in Europe.The aim of going to a more rigid material is to allow products to be made thinner.Meanwhile,the higher flow suppresses increases in peak pressure that occur during injection molding due to thin walling.Duracon(R)H140-54C facilitates the production of small,thin-wall parts.
