...(CTI A). Alongside Radici with its proven range of flame-retardant PA 6 and 66 polyamides (Radiflam A and S) and also polybutylene terephthalate (Radiflam B), Rhodia Engineering Plastics also supplies a series of attractive polyamides. Technyl Star S 60G1 V30 is an easy-flowing polyamide 6 with 30% glass fibres and no halogen or red phosphorus, which attains a UL94 V0 rating, a GWFI of 960°C and a GWIT of 775°C at a thickness of 0.8mm, and also has a CTI value of 600V. The product has a light n...

... also be introduced on to the European market relatively rapidly. Resin Express Distribution for Rhodia Resin Express is the new distribution partner for Rhodia Engineering Plastics, Saint Fons/France. The contract covers Rhodia's Technyl and Technyl Star polyamides and is valid throughout Europe. The Technyl products are polyamide grades with a broad variety of properties. TechnylA takes in the PA66 grades while TechnylB covers PA66/6 copolyamides, and TechnylC the PA6 grades. All three ...

...nts neither cloud lenses nor corrode contacts. In addition, they permit a high production throughput, since their broad processing window permits short cycle times and they emerge from the machine with virtually no flash (Fig. 1). With its Technyl Star AFX, Rhodia Polyamide, Paris, France, presented a new polyamide 66 that combines excellent flow behavior with a very high level of strength and heat resistance. This innovation is intended to penetrate areas of application in which more expensive ...

...e pre-treatment and post-treatment (painting, coating and vacuum metallization) (Fig. 1). The material has no tendency to form hairline cracks and resists the chemicals used in cockpit cleaners. Rhodia Polyamide, Saint Fons, France, demonstrated in Technyl Star AFX a PA 66 that combines good flow with high strength and heat resistance. The good flow permits filler loadings of up to 60% glass fiber. This has been made possible by a new, patent-pending polymerization technology. Both large and com...

...selection of additives, it is necessary to optimize the base polymer itself. It is precisely this optimization that Rhodia Polyamide, Freiburg, Germany, was able to achieve through use of a special production process for the base polymer used in its Technyl Star AFX, a polyamide 66 grade. This material combines excellent flow characteristics with the well-known benefits of polyamide during processing, e.g. a very high crystallization rate, thus achieving shorter cycle times and improved surface ...

The market is accepting this technology, and besides BASF, other suppliers are involved in CAE: at the K 2007, Rhodia introduced a CAD-Service it calls MMI* for configuring Technyl and Technyl Star polyamides based on corresponding materials data and including fiber orientation as well. Lanxess has also been active in this area for quite a while. Over the midterm, simulation methods will also find non-automotive applications, e.g.,...

Their Strator XC material (PA66 and PPA compounds) has a new type of carbon fiber reinforcement with a stiffness comparable to that of Magnesium (45 GPa), while its tensile strength is similar to that of steel (350 MPa). Technyl Star AFX, a PA66 by Solvay, with its glass fiber content up to 60 %, offers a high degree of stiffness, too. A polyamide which was developed to compete with zinc and aluminum die casting is Ultramid D3EG12 HMG (High Modulus Grade) by BASF. This par...
