KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 (Bernama) -- The Polyplastics Group, a global leader in the development and production of engineering thermoplastics has developed new DURACON polyoxymethylene (POM) grades for the production of injection-molded automotive fuel system components.
The grades deliver high flow, high rigidity and design freedom of the system and its new materials complement Polyplastics' flagship DURACON POM portfolio which is already widely used, according to a statement.
The company has commercially launched DURACON H140-54C, a high-flow/high-rigidity grade with a melt flow rate of around 14. This material suits a wide range of molding conditions and is used in Europe.
It also announced a developmental POM grade which provides exceptional acid resistance. Historically, one of POM's limitations has been its vulnerability to strong acids, but this new material provides significant improvements.
Polyplastics has also developed an electrically conductive grade for use in components that surround fuel as a measure against static electricity whereby, it can impart conductivity while also maintaining POM's key performance attributes, including flowability and toughness.
