Dyneon achieves co-moulding in FKM and polyamide 4,6

ERJ staff report (DS)

Neuss, Germany - Dyneon said it has made a 2-K injection moulded automotive component using one of its fluoro-elastomers together with a grade of polyamide 4,6 from DSM.

The polyamide, sold under the Stanyl name, retains its stable mechanical properties even at temperatures up to 200°C. With 80 percent less density than steel, it also substantially reduces the weight of

construction components.

The wide range of Dyneon Fluoroelastomers offers very high

chemical resistance against oils, fuels and numerous other

chemicals at temperatures up to 230°C. Stanyl polyamides and

Dyneon Fluoroelastomers are already used for many seals,

gaskets and components in automotive powertrains.

During continuous production, the cycle

time for the two-component process - as verified by the German

Institute for Rubber Technology - is reduced to a mere three

minutes per component. Including the vulcanisation process, the

components are ready for installation after just two hours.
