DSM launches thermoplastic composites for automotive

摘要

DSM IS LAUNCHING a range of thermoplastic composites, based on polyamide resins with various fibre reinforcements, which is initially aimed at the automotive industry. The company says that composites containing carbon fibres based on DSM's EcoPaXX~R polyamide 410 (PA 410), Akulon~R polyamide 6 (PA 6) and Stanyl~R polyamide 46 (PA 46), will facilitate significant weight reduction in automobile body and chassis parts. Glass fibre reinforced composites will be targeted at reducing the weight of semi-structural components.
