Automotive nylons for body panels & acoustics.


Exterior body panels and under-hood acoustic insulation are targets for three new nylons from Rhodia Engineering Plastics, Farmington Hills Far·ming·ton Hills  

A city of southeast Michigan, an industrial suburb of Detroit. Population: 81,400.
, Mich. Technyl A 238P5 M25 blk 5N is aimed at vertical panels like fenders as well as fuel filler flaps, rocker pillars, front grilles, and other exterior trim. It is a heat-stabilized, impact-modified, 30%-glass nylon 66 that can survive 200 C for 30 min in E-coat ovens. It is also conductive conductive

having the quality of readily conducting electric current.

flooring or floor covering made specially conductive to electrical current, usually by the inclusion of copper wiring that is earthed
 and accepts electrostatic Stationary electrical charges in which no current flows. For example, laser printers and copier machines place a positive charge of the image on a drum, and negatively charged toner is attracted onto the drum. The toner is then transferred to positively charged paper and fused to the paper by heat.  painting without a primer.

Technyl Star S 218dB1 M50 and S 218dB2 MV60 are nylon 6 injection grades claimed to provide more than 4 db better sound damping damping

They are aimed at engine covers, air pipes, and air louvers as well as housings for electrical appliances and building products. Tel: (248) 994-6120, www.rhodia-ep.com
