Respond to challenges in the field of electric vehicles and autonomous driving. '
The thermal stability (extreme temperature stability) of the new PA66 XTS2 series is another hot topic of LANXESS. This technology increases the thermal stability of PA 66 to 230°C. Even at constant temperatures of 230°C, it is important Mechanical properties such as tensile modulus, fracture stress or impact strength can also be maintained at a high level. Unlike many other thermal stabilization schemes, the new system does not exhibit a thermal stability gap between 160°C and 230°C. XTS2 material is mainly aimed at vehicles using high-efficiency internal combustion engines. The first product in the XTS2 product portfolio is PA6 filled with 35% glass fiber reinforcement. This material has been sold under the name Durethan AKV35XTS2 and is ideally suited for use with integrated intercoolers. The production of intake manifolds and other components. Currently under development include another 30% glass-reinforced PA66 and reinforced PA66, which can be used in air ducts and other hollow parts in the engine compartment. LANXESS is based on PA6's material also has excellent thermal stability and can replace PA66, which is the current challenge due to raw material limitations.
Environmentally friendly lightweight solutions for the automotive industry
In the exhibition area, LANXESS will be presented as a series of lightweight solutions that focus on innovation, environmental protection and resource saving. According to the application requirements of specific components, engineering plastics can completely replace heavy metal materials or composite materials (such as LANXESS Tepex product series). Combined use. Almost every component on the car can be weight-reduced by lightweight materials and technology, and its physical properties such as mechanical strength will not be affected.
As one of the examples of lightweight applications, LANXESS will present a Porsche 911 Carrera car oil pan made from Dulyton BKV 30 H2.0 (PA 6). This highly sophisticated component can meet The next-generation engine is all about specific requirements for weight reduction, functional integration and cost-effective production. LANXESS looks forward to sharing more application details with you at our booth.
LANXESS's Tepex brand series of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites is also a hot topic at this exhibition. These materials are increasingly important for lightweight vehicle design and are increasingly used in mass production - eg front-end mounting components, bottom Guards and bumper beams, brake pedals, full load systems and fuel tank reinforcements. There is tremendous potential for producing battery-protected underbody and highly integrated, multi-position seats. LANXESS is currently developing electromagnetic Shielding properties of composite materials, especially suitable for parts of electric vehicle transmission systems.
Tepex can also be used to produce a sturdy hood, fuel cap and underside central flue hood, all of which have been used in a variety of standard models. This continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite can also be used to make extremely hard, extremely tough and extremely durable. Thin parts, such as those that have been used in several standard models, have a higher degree of functional integration.
Products for sports equipment such as soccer shoes, ski boots, cyclist parts and golf club parts will be on display at the show and they will also benefit from this lightweight material.
Safe and stable additives
The LANXESS Additives Business Unit will also showcase its extensive range of products. Through the successful acquisition of the original American Chemtura Corporation in 2017, LANXESS has become one of the world's leading flame retardant additive suppliers.
LANXESS anticipates that the medium-term market for flame retardant additives will increase at an average annual rate of 4%. Shi Xueliang, executive vice president of Asia Pacific at LANXESS Additives, said: 'The development trend of energy-efficient buildings is driving the rising demand for flame retardancy. Gao. Currently, we are able to provide our customers with a range of complementary bromine and phosphorus-based products from a single source. With superior results, these materials are widely used in various fields of the construction industry. In addition, we have strong technical centers around the world, Including Nanjing and Qingdao labs will provide solutions and value-added services for China and other Asian countries.
The LANXESS Additives Business Unit will exhibit its halogen-free phosphorous flame retardants and anti-hydrolysis agent products. Levagard TP LXS 51114 Low Emission Flame Retardant is ideally suited for polyurethane flexible foams based on polyether and polyester fibers. Automotive interiors and other fields. The product can also be used as a flame retardant plasticizer in cellulose derivatives, especially in cellulose triacetate (CTA), which shows high value in the manufacture of electronic equipment housing. Disflamoll 51092 Halogen-free Phosphate flame retardant is extremely small, can be used in a variety of plastic products (plasticized PVC, PU flexible foam, TPU, PC-ABS and NBR-PVC mixed materials).
Stabaxol P 110 hydrolysis stabilizers for plastics and polyurethanes represent an innovative, low-emission polymerized diimine carbon product range produced from new materials in PET thermoplastics and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE-E) applications The performance in the show is very outstanding. In addition, when used in bio-plastic polylactic acid, the material can effectively prolong the service life of the product in the hot and humid environment.
Adding Color to the Polymeric World
Colored plastics are becoming more and more popular, their applications are becoming wider and wider, and they also put forward a series of stringent requirements for the pigments used. Considering the short residence time and relatively low shear force in the customer's production process, the pigment must have good The dispersibility, that is easy to diffuse, can quickly reach the final color strength, and must also meet the requirements for thermal stability, no migration, light resistance and weather resistance in specific application areas. The Colortherm brand iron oxide produced by LANXESS Inorganic Pigments Business Unit Chromium oxide pigments can fully meet the above requirements. In addition, they are also easy to process, have a unique micronization process, and have a high working efficiency, because the extremely fine morphology can rapidly spread in plastics. US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ) Greentherm pigments for environmental protection are granted for food packaging and children's toy coloring application licenses.
LANXESS maintained its consistent commitment to environmental responsibility, efficiency and quality. On February 24, 2018, the LANXESS Ningbo Inorganic Pigments Factory was successfully selected in the second batch of green factories issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. “Ningbo process” can reduce the energy consumption of iron oxide red pigment production process by 80%, recycle and process the byproducts produced in all production processes, such as greatly reducing the carbon dioxide equivalent in the production process, and converting nitrous oxide into gas through special catalysts.
