The reductions in fuel consumption and emissions which are prescribed by law in many countries are forcing the automotive industry to act. Besides developing alternative drives, the optimization of traditional combustion engines continues to play a key role. Downsizing results in higher pres-sures and temperatures, especially in components that carry air behind the turbocharger. Basf is responding to this development in engine designs with a consistent portfolio of PA6 and PA66 grades that meet the higher demands on the materials, their mechanical properties and tempera-ture resistance. The company will present them at the K fair (Düsseldorf, October 19-26), in hall 5, booth C21/D21.
Depending on the base polymer and stabilisation system, the materials are resistant to heat aging up to 220°C and show excellent burst pressure and weld strength. This means the part developer can be…
