Italian automotive innovations to be on show in Czech Republic
September 06, 2012 - Czech Republic
At MSV 2012 in the Czech Republic, RadiciGroup Plastics will showcase its latest innovations for the automotive sector, with special emphasis on its Radilon D polyamide 610 engineering plastics. Also exhibited at the fair will be: Radilon A HHR (PA66 engineering plastics with exceptional heat resistance to ageing in air at temperatures of up to 210°C), Radilon A RV500 RW 339 and Radilon S URV (PA6 and PA66 engineering plastics for use as metal and thermosetting material replacements) and lastly Radilon A RV300 HRG 3900 NER and Radilon A GF300 RKC NER (glycol-resistant PA66 engineering plastics.)
The RadiciGroup product portfolio for the automotive sector stands out for its innovation, smaller environmental footprint, high performance and quality. The high-performance characteristics of these new engineering plastics make them ideal for the manufacture of parts to be installed under the bonnet, where high-temperature stress (temperatures often exceeding 100°C) and the presence of aggressive liquids, such as gasoline and oil, create a particularly difficult engineering challenge. Additionally suitable for use as metal and thermosetting material replacements, the new products developed by RadiciGroup Plastics for the automotive sector guarantee high performance as well as reduced environmental impact.
Ideal for injection moulding and extrusion, Radilon D engineering plastics are produced using 60% organic polymer. The ingredients come from a renewable resource material, castor seed oil, obtained from the castor oil plant (Ricinus Communis). RadiciGroup PA610 products, which have been developed thanks to the synergies between RadiciGroup Plastics and the Radici Chimica SpA research and development centre, feature reduced environmental impact, as well as properties that are equal, if not superior, to those of traditional polyamides.
Among the products of the High Heat Resistant range, the spotlight will be on RADILON A BMV200 HHR 3800 NER high-performance blow-moulding materials, 20% glass-fibre-filled PA66 engineering plastics with properties that make them ideal for applications such as turbo ducts (hot side), and RADILON A BMV150 HHR 3800 NER, 15%-glass-fibre-filled PA66 plastics with excellent heat resistance. Among the moulding products showcased are RADILON RV350 HHR 3800 NER 35%-glass-fibre-filled PA66 engineering plastics specifically developed for the automotive industry for applications such as intercooler trays, turbo ducts and resonators.
In producing the RADILON A RV300 HRG 3900 NER line, both the polymer and compound have been optimized in order to maximize the glycol resistance properties.
Some of the features of these materials are excellent mechanical properties (modulus and load), excellent impact strength, good processability and mouldability, and good wear and fatigue resistance even at high temperatures.
RADILON A GF300 RKC NER materials are characterized by high content of recycled polyamides coming from a controlled source, superior mechanical properties and excellent reliability. These low environmental impact RadiciGroup products are ideal for critical automotive components.
During MSV 2012, RadiciGroup Plastics is also presenting the RADIFLAM S, RADIFLAM A and RADIFLAM B PA6, PA66 and PBT flame-retardant lines for injection moulding and extrusion, and HERAFLEX E thermoplastic elastomers (TPC-ET) for injection moulding.
