Sabic presents a special blend that helps prevent unpleasant noise in automotive interiors. The new LNP Lubriloy N2000 compound, is based on polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and offers both molded-in color capability and paintability.

The new compound helps prevent buzz-squeak-rattle (BSR) noise in automotive interiors, such as mirror housings and trim, cupholders, button guides and heating-ventilation-air conditioning (HVAC) frames. © Sabic

Transparent PC/PMMA blends: influence of functionalization on optical, morphological and mechanical properties

Electrical and electronics manufacturers want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their products and optimize waste management and recycling for them. This can be achieved, among other ways, by using more sustainable thermoplastics and quality-assured recyclates. A close cooperation between companies to establish material cycles and the recycling-friendly design of equipment are also important.

The combination of injection compression molding, direct coating and partial film insert molding enables a novel design for the front module of the BMW iX electric vehicle. Important in the development were extensive trials carried out by plastics manufacturer Covestro in its technical lab.

Various production processes are combined to manufacture the front module of the BMW iX, known as the kidney.

A large proportion of the world’s polycarbonate is processed in Asia, especially in China. This is why capacity expansions are mainly taking place there.

PC-based films enable attractive designs in automobile interiors. Electroplated real metal surfaces with touch sensors are a real eye-catcher, no matter whether the backlighting is switched on or off.

Polyamide

Suitable Materials for Smart  Vehicle Design

Polyamide fibers need to be sufficiently flame-retardant for the use in textile applications. Flame-retardants containing halogens and coating fibers with those is a common practice, although it has some severe disadvantages. Inherently flame-retardant polymers, which are processed along with polyamide to form blends and subsequently spun into fibers, provide an attractive alternative.

It’s a long journey from polymer granules to automotive parts. It’s an even longer one for those whose job it is to envisage where plastics will be used in the cars of the future and which market trends providers of raw materials should follow. This is precisely the task of Bayer Polymers’ Creative Center, which has just launched its latest development for the cars of the future, called smart surface technology. 

Planning Future Scenarios: Automotive Applications in the Distant Future 

Halogen-free, flameproofed alloys of non-Newtonian polycarbonate and ABS are suitable for extruded profiles and thermoformable panels as well as for blow-moulded hollow articles. Products of such materials find application in electrical and telecommunications installations and in the construction and automotive sectors.

The use of extruded polycarbonate panels for the encapsulation of solar cells is opening up new areas of application for photovoltaics. These innovative modules are light in weight, can be readily machined and shaped with curved contours using the cold forming process.

The consumption of polycarbonate has enjoyed continuous, above-average growth since the “invention” of this material nearly 50 years ago, attributable in no small part to the discovery of an ever-increasing number of applications for it. This development will continue, so that, after a brief period of stagnation due to the sluggish economy, demand is likely to pick up again in 2002.

K.D. Feddersen is now selling E-Loop H801 MR, the first mechanically recycled ABS/PC from the Spanish plastics producer Elix Polymers.

Hamburg/Germany-based distributor K.D. Feddersen is now selling E-Loop H801 MR, the first mechanically recycled ABS/PC from the Spanish plastics producer Elix Polymers.

E-Loop H801 MR is an ABS/PC that contains mechanically recycled polycarbonate from post-industrial sources. According to the distributor, the blend produced has equivalent properties to the reference material Elix ABS H801, which is mainly used for interior and exterior applications in the automotive industry. In tests based on the standards “Daimler DBL 5425” and “BMW GS94007”, the paintability of the material was tested with various paint systems and described as equal to the standard product in all cases.

According to the manufacturer, further sustainable ABS products using recycled or renewable raw materials are already in the pipeline and will soon be added. This will conserve fossil resources and improve the carbon footprint. The distributor offers Elix products in Germany and many other European countries.
