...ortions. In order to obtain separable three layer composites throughout the whole process parameter window the coupling agent was mixed with the polyolefin in the mass ratio 1.5 to 10 (CA to HDPE). For the tests on three layer composites PA (grade: Ultramid B 36 FN, manufacturer: BASF AG) and PE-HD (grade: Lupolen 3020 K, manufacturer: BASF AG) were used. The coupling agents used were PE and PP (manufacturer: Du Pont) modified by maleic acid anhydride. Coextrusion Mould and Line A single extru...

...polyamides; only polypropylene and polyurethane are more strongly represented in volume terms. The first product developed with the aid of BASF’s integrative simulation process was the so-called lower bumper stiffener made from Ultramid B3WG6 CR, which was launched in 2004. This component, which weighs about 1kg, helps to avoid serious injury in collisions with pedestrians. Ultramid CR is a material group specially developed for crash applications. Weight-saving continues to be an important req...

...ial achieves V-0 according to UL94 at wall thicknesses of only 0.4 mm, and easily meets the IEC 60335-1 standard ruling the requirements for domestic appliances. BASF will introduce another new product at Fakuma 2011, i. e. Ultramid B3U30G6. This is a PA6 with flame retardant properties, designed for circuit breakers; it fulfills the requirements of the glow wire test without any difficulties, and is extraordinarily stiff. This property enables low wall thicknesses, thus opening up new options o...

Kunststoffe international, 2014-03-21, Thermoplastic Resin Transfer Molding (T-RTM): Tailored to Reactive Polyamide 6
...pplier of engineering plastics, BASF has been involved in research to produce thermoplastic composite materials by anionic lactam polymerization for more than three years. Analogous to its existing portfolio of polyamide 6 compounds (Ultramid B), BASF has developed a so-called chemical toolbox. This toolbox enables BASF to provide formulations that contain not only the activator or catalyst, but also the corresponding heat stabilization, internal release agent, or a toughness modifier and a reac...
