WEBINAR, SEPT. 22: LIGHTWEIGHT INNOVATION IN SERIES PRODUCTION
WEBINAR, SEPT. 22: LIGHTWEIGHT INNOVATION IN SERIES PRODUCTION‎
We invite you to attend Envalior’s Lightweight Innovation in Series Production webinar. During the webinar, you will learn about our material innovations for lightweight applications and plastic/metal hybrids. Be the first to learn about our first series application of Hollow Profile Hybrid technology.‎
MEETING USB-C DEMANDS WHILE REDUCING RISK OF ELECTRICAL ARCING AND POSSIBLE FIRE
MEETING USB-C DEMANDS WHILE REDUCING RISK OF ELECTRICAL ARCING AND POSSIBLE FIRE
Thermoplastics are materials used for charging cables and power adapters in early versions of USB connectors. When designing the newest USB-C connectors, you need a material with a high CTI rating for tracking resistance and superior bonding strength, and properties that enable strong weld lines and thin walls, to minimize the risk of arcing.
SUPPLIER OF THE YEAR AWARD FROM STIHL
SUPPLIER OF THE YEAR AWARD FROM STIHL‎
STIHL recently named LANXESS Performance Materials GmbH, which is now part of Envalior, as one of its “Suppliers of the Year 2022”. The company has been honoring suppliers for outstanding performance in quality, technology, innovation, service, and value since 1990. Awards were presented in June at the STIHL Brand World in Waiblingen, Germany.‎
CALCULATE A MATERIAL'S CHEMICAL RESISTANCE TO REVEAL EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM EXPOSURE
CALCULATE A MATERIAL'S CHEMICAL RESISTANCE TO REVEAL EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM EXPOSURE
Materials exposed to chemicals often result in a risk of affecting the material properties negatively. For a proper application design, engineers want to know tensile strength and elongation-at-break when exposed to a medium representative of the application. With our Chemical Resistance Tool, you can calculate a material’s chemical resistance and reveal the effects of long-term exposure.
ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIAL OFFERS BEST-IN-CLASS HEAT RESISTANCE FOR AIR MANAGEMENT COMPONENTS
ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIAL OFFERS BEST-IN-CLASS HEAT RESISTANCE FOR AIR MANAGEMENT COMPONENTS‎
For hybrid vehicles, there is a demand for internal combustion engine (ICE) powertrains to deliver better fuel economy, higher efficiency and reduced emissions. The trend to improve ICE vehicle efficiency owes a lot to turbocharge technology. When there is an increase in performance and efficiency, high heat and more aggressive gasses under high pressure are a result.‎
DEVELOPING ADVANCED CATHETERS THAT IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES
DEVELOPING ADVANCED CATHETERS THAT IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES
Cardiovascular catheters are needed to perform diagnostic testing and treat complex medical conditions. Common material solutions have reliability issues – prompting more medical equipment suppliers to leverage high-strength, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). Yet, this material often leads to variations in extrusion behavior and problems during secondary assembly processes.
LEVERAGE THERMOPLASTICS FOR USE IN DEMANDING COMFORT ACTUATOR APPLICATIONS
LEVERAGE THERMOPLASTICS FOR USE IN DEMANDING COMFORT ACTUATOR APPLICATIONS‎
Vehicle comfort often influences a consumer’s purchasing decision, and to meet consumer expectations, vehicle comfort systems require many actuators. Electric vehicles are designed to include complex comfort actuators that require lightweight gears. Thus, gear suppliers need to leverage thermoplastics for their durability, thermal resistance, and design flexibility.‎
HELPING YOU EXCEED THE SERVICE LIFE OF FUEL CELL TRANSPORT VEHICLES
HELPING YOU EXCEED THE SERVICE LIFE OF FUEL CELL TRANSPORT VEHICLES
Combining the best of the electric vehicle and internal combustion engine worlds, proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) offer emissions-free driving of an EV with the range and convenience of a traditional ICE. The PEMFC must be reliable and not degrade in hot water or a mild acid environment to meet and exceed the long service life of commercial vehicles.
TECH TALK: THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL SOLUTIONS FOR EV APPLICATIONS
EV vehicle power distribution systems must operate at high voltages to deliver power, thus the need for proper insulation and electromagnetic shielding. During this Talk, learn about electrification on thermoplastic material property requirements and how low-ion leaching PPS results in better fuel cell performance.
 
TECH TALK: MATERIAL SOLUTIONS FOR ROBUST AUTOMOTIVE CONNECTORS
Miniaturizing electronics through surface mount technology using reflow soldering continues to expand. There are stringent demands on electronic components to ensure safety and durability. During this Talk, learn what the key considerations are for material selection to overcome safety risks and more.
