RadiciGroup expands its offering, PPS New RadiciGroup Enginnering Resin to be Presented at Fakuma 2017
The RadiciGroup Performance Plastics Business Area is exhibiting at Fakuma 2017 (Hall A1 Stand 1106) in Friedrichshafen.
RadiciGroup is officially announcing its new PPS-based products: high-performance polymers, particularly suited to engineering applications.
The distinguishing characteristics of the new Raditeck® P materials are as follows:
Superior chemical resistance to oil, fuel, solvents and water-glycol solutions.
Retention of mechanical properties when exposed to high temperature in air and other
fluids.
High dimensional stability thanks to very low hygroscopicity.
Natural flame resistance.
“The Raditeck® P products were created as part of RadiciGroup’s strategy of expanding its speciality products portfolio,” stated Erico Spini, marketing manager Europe of RadiciGroup
Performance Plastics. “A wider choice of available materials allows us to better support our customers, specifically in their projects involving innovation and metal replacement. At Fakuma
2017, we are presenting five Raditeck® P grades, from a 40% glass-fibre fill to a 65% mixed mineral-glass fibre fill. Naturally, we are ready to create new customized grades, in line with our
collaboration philosophy, which has always positively influenced business relations between our company and our partners.”
The main application sectors for RadiciGroup’s new Raditeck® P products are:
Automotive: Raditeck® P provides high dimensional stability (required, for instance, for
pump impellers and housings), high chemical resistance even to acid substances, and
good retention of mechanical properties over time even when exposed to high
temperatures (>200°C).
Water management and household appliances: Raditeck® P offers excellent hydrolysis
resistance, dimensional stability and mechanical properties, as well as excellent creep
resistance.
Electrical / electronics: PPS boasts intrinsic flame retardancy and practically zero
moisture absorption.
After launching its Radilon XTreme product line and introducing Radilon® Aestus T (PPA) at the K Fair in 2016, RadiciGroup has expanded its high-performance polymer offering with new PPSbased
products, thus continuing to build its reputation as a reliable partner in the implementation of its customers’ innovative projects.
“Another aspect we are particularly proud of is our collaboration with our customers providing support in the development of their projects starting from the very beginning phases. We
like to call ourselves a ‘solution provider’," Mr. Spini concluded.
