Lanxess, a leading specialty chemicals company, is showing presenting its latest developments in materials, processes and technologies for premium plastics and high-performance additives for processing, at the ongoing K 2016 expo, a leading trade fair for plastics and rubber, from October 19 to 26, 2016, in stand C76/C78, in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Lanxess is showing high-performance plastics for a variety of applications that promote the mobility of the future. The focus is on innovative, resource-saving and environmentally friendly lightweight solutions, because lightweight materials and technologies can reduce weight in virtually every part of a motor vehicle.Lanxess, a leading specialty chemicals company, is showing presenting its latest developments in materials, processes and technologies for premium plastics and high-performance additives for processing, at the ongoing K 2016 expo, a leading trade fair for plastics and rubber, from October 19 to 26, 2016, in stand C76/C78, in Düsseldorf, Germany.#
Lanxess is exhibiting an oil pan module made of Durethan BKV 30 H2.0 (PA 6) for the Porsche 911 Carrera. This highly complex component satisfies all the specific requirements imposed on the new-generation engine in terms of weight reduction, function integration, and cost-efficient production.
At the trade fair, Lanxess is showing Tepex-brand fibre composites for lightweight applications, with an all-plastic brake pedal installed in the Porsche Panamera NF and Bentley Continental GT.
Trade fair visitors can see just how a prototype component is manufactured with an optimised cycle time in demonstrations at the KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH stand.
LEONHARD KURZ Stiftung & Co. KG and Bond-Laminates GmbH have developed a new material combination and the associated mould technology for fabricating finished, decorated housing components with extremely thin walls in just one processing step. ENGEL AUSTRIA GmbH engineered a highly automated manufacturing cell for the new material combination that is suited to large-scale production. The new manufacturing process from KURZ and Bond-Laminates is demonstrated live at ENGEL's stand at the expo.
Areas of focus on the product side include thermoplastics with good melt flow characteristics that facilitate the design of large, thin-walled components of complex geometry. Other new products from HPM include hydrolysis-stabilised PBT compounds for automotive electrical and electronic systems and thermally conductive polyamides.
The Lanxess Rhein Chemie Additives business unit is showcasing products from its extensive line of additives, such as predispersed cellulose fibre and aramid short-fibre masterbatches.
Halogen-free Disflamoll and Levagard flame retardants based on phosphorus in response to the increasing demand for halogen-free technologies is displayed at the expo.
Stabaxol P 110, a hydrolysis stabiliser for plastics and polyurethanes, the first product in a new line of innovative, low-emission polymeric carbodiimides based on new raw materials is showcased. The organic Macrolex Gran colorants ideal for brilliantly colouring amorphous and semi-crystalline plastics, such as PS, PET, PC, ABS, and PMMA are also shown at the exhibition. (GK)
