...ing. ? Where do you believe the future lies for polycarbonate vehicle glazing? Krause: Very definitely in systematic implementation of the modular approach. With a polycarbonate pane, for instance, multicomponent injection moulding with Makroblend, our (PC+PBT) and (PC+PET) blends can be used to build up entire modules in one mould. One possibility here would be a tailgate module consisting of a PC pane with moulded-on blackout and frame with spoiler. The part can be multicoloured and that fact...

... at a rate of 6 to 7%. Disproportionate growth can be expected in the Asia-Pacific region. The IT industry is booming there. In June of this year, Bayer MaterialScience therefore commissioned a 40000t plant in Caojing for compounding Makrolon, Makroblend (PC+PET and PC+PBT) and Bayblend (PC + ABS). The company also has production sites in Europe and in the Nafta region. Other global manufacturers of (PC+ABS) blends are GE Advanced Materials (Cycoloy) and Dow (Pulse and Emerge). The Asia-Pacific ...

...and brominated additives. Its chemical resistance helps graffiti to be removed without great effort. To meet high requirements, such as those on toe caps in safety shoes, Bayer MaterialScience, has launched the tough, impact-modified (PC+ABS) Makroblend DP 6015 which is compliant with the DIN EN 345 standard on safety shoes. One requirement is that the mechanical property profile is retained, even after contact with chemicals. The standard prescribes a drop test in which an axe-like specimen is ...

Both vehicles are fitted with Bayer Material-Science’s polycarbonates Makrolon AG 2677 and Makroblend 7665 or Bayblend T 95 MF. Cost Effective Applications for Auto Interiors Bayer MaterialScience also sees itself as a leading, globally active supplier and provider of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) solutions – both pellets and film – according to Mar...

...omfortable coating) technology developed together by Bayer Material-Science AG, Leverkusen, Germany, is a further step along this path. In conjunction with the compounds from the Bayblend, Macrolon and Makroblend families optimized for this process in terms of intermediate layer adhesion and weather resistance, the process permits efficient production of coated parts in one step. A wide range of surfaces is possible. The one limitation: the appearance surface may not have undercuts. The surfaces...

The blends in the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene+polycarbonate (ABS+PC; brand name: Bayblend) and polycarbonate+polybutylene terephthalate (PC+PBT; brand name: Makroblend) assortment meet all requirements for materials to produce automobile interior parts. They are highly heat resistant and break-proof in case of a crash thanks to their great toughness. What’s more, they exhibit favourable adhesion propertie...

One example of progress in the development of blend materials is the PC Makroblend M525 developed especially for portable medical devices in mobile patient care (manufacturer: Covestro). It is resistant to body lotions and skin care products. The casing of a capsule endoscope (Fig. 5) that is swallowed by the patient and transmits images of the stomach...

PC/polyester blend Makroblend) offer high resistance to oils and most cleaners. Another parameter which is influenced by the wall thickness is the flame retardency. Standard DIN EN 60601–1 mentioned a necessary flame protection of V2 or better (UL94 V rating) for the thinnest wall thickness, but this standard is for medi...
