Plastics replace metal under the bonnet

A DSM Engineering Plastics product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 28, 2008

First member of a next generation family of Stanyl grades that offer a revolutionary improvement in long term thermal stability.

New from DSM Engineering Plastics is Stanyl Diablo OCD2100, a high performance grade of Stanyl for under the bonnet (UTB) applications.

This new grade is the first member of a next generation family of Stanyl grades that offer a revolutionary improvement in long term thermal stability.

This technology, developed and patented by DSM, extends the functional life of components well beyond the limits of other high temperature polyamides.

By limiting thermal oxidative breakdown, Stanyl Diablo withstands more than 3kh temperature exposure up to 230C with less than 15% loss in mechanical properties.

According to John van den Bungelaar, Product Manager Stanyl at DSM Engineering Plastics, continuous temperature levels up to 230C are now increasingly common for UTB applications: "Stanyl Diablo OCD2100 outperforms current high heat resins on high temperature stability, but also on weldability, weld strength and the weld's long term heat stability".

"Longer and better lifetime reliability of parts is also possible because of the material's low creep and its fatigue behaviour".

"Part design and function can be reached more easily and, more importantly, UTB part reliability can be guaranteed for the lifetime required".

With Stanyl Diablo OCD2100, metal replacement options have been expanded tremendously.

In addition to the cost reduction that can be achieved by replacing metals, the use of Stanyl Diablo OCD2100 also offers possible cost down options for applications running in specialty materials such as PPS, PPA and PEI.
