Electric vehicles can be charged not only at charging stations, but also wirelessly. Here, the energy exchange takes place between an induction coil positioned in the ground and a receiver coil mounted in the e-car.

Wireless charging could increase the range, and therefore the acceptance of electromobility.

Due to the climate change, new fields of development and sustainability topics have come into focus along the added-value chain.

Polyamide continues to be one of the most important technical plastics in the automotive sector, where it enjoys widespread use. This not only applies for classical internal combustion vehicles, but in terms of volume will also be the case for electric vehicles.

Polyamides: Electromobility and Sustainability Boost Developments

The global market for PBT has recovered well from the aftermath of the corona pandemic. However, there is a lot going on among manufacturers at the moment.

PBT compounds are very much in demand for electromobility, including for parts of the battery, electric transmission and the charging infrastructure.

PP is a material with good future perspectives. It is attractive as it combines several different properties. It is economical, covers a wide application area – and can be readily recycled.

The “Monobloc” from PP, here in a green version, is one of the most affordable and versatile seating furnitures worldwide (photo from the movie “Monobloc” by Edition Salzgeber).

Wide Range of PA Innovations

Long fiber thermoplastic compression molding is suitable for the production of components with large surfaces such as battery enclosures for electric vehicles. However, these components place high demands on the material used.

Large-area components, like the battery cover shown, can be produced very well using direct long fiber compression molding. Optimized materials such as PA66 Mobius NPD 555 FR GF50 from Invista  are ideal for the process involved.

Two resin grades developed for long fiber thermoplastic compression molding permit the substitution of thermosetting SMC molding materials.

Swiss plastics trading group Meraxis is taking over French Fournier Plastics Group. Subject to antitrust reviews, the transaction is scheduled to close at the end of 2022.

Swiss plastics trading group Meraxis is taking over French Fournier Plastics Group, as announced in a press release. Subject to antitrust reviews, the transaction is scheduled to close at the end of 2022.

Financial details were not disclosed. Fournier distributes standard thermoplastics, technical grades, and additives in Europe and North Africa.

“We are strengthening our geographical presence not only in important key markets,” Meraxis CEO Stefan Girschik said, “but also and above all with technical polymers and additives.”

Today’s Fournier Plastics Group was formed in 2016 from the acquisition of Dutch-based Prime Polymers by France’s Fournier SAS, and was joined in 2019 by the acquisition of parts of Spain’s Chemieuro Group. Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Saint-Priest near Lyon, France, the company reportedly has operations in nine countries in Europe and three others in North Africa. According to Meraxis, its more than 1200 customers, most of whom have been with the company for many years, include plastics processors from various sectors such as the automotive and packaging industries.

Meraxis CEO Dr. Stefan Girschik and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Meraxis Jobst Wagner signed the acquisition agreement together with Stéphane Fournier and Bruno Fournier (from left to right).
