In this issue:
In this issue, we're highlighting several grades of Ultramid®, polyamides manufactured by our friends at BASF. You'll learn that these grades are exceptional for their high mechanical strength, rigidity and thermal stability. Moreover, these polyamides afford good impact resistance even at low temperatures, advantageous sliding friction properties and problem-free processing.
We're also highlighting several videos we captured throughout NPE 2009 that are fun, educational and informative.

Webinar: Predicting Reinforced Plastic Material Performance
|
Learn how BASF’s new proprietary software module, ULTRASIM™, incorporates fiber orientation data from mold filling simulations into FEA models to provide an accurate depiction of variations in fiber orientation and strength throughout the part. Their experts will discuss the integrative simulation methods that were developed to overcome the limitations of prior predictive models.

Ultramid® Grades for Specialty Applications
|
Ultramid® A3WG7HP
BASF has added a new grade to their family of Polyamide 6,6 resins. This new grade provides exceptional benefits for use in automotive powertrain components, such as cylinder head covers.
For more information, contact Marianne Morgan, Powertrain Sector Leader at 734-239-5334 |
Ultramid® OSI
Located on the underside of the vehicle, automotive oil pans must withstand vibration, long-term heat aging in oil and be impact resistant to objects kicked up from the road.

Ultramid® CR
Ultramid® BWG6 CR (Crash Resistant), a 30% glass filled PA6 (nylon 6) engineering resin that provides the right level of performance to minimize pedestrian impact. The lower bumper stiffener or LBS weighs just over two pounds, is three feet long and is installed behind the front bumper so as to diminish the risk of serious knee injury in the event of a collision with a pedestrian.

Webinar: Material Consolidation Through Prospector
Wednesday, August 5, 2009 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM EDT
|
You use Prospector everyday to access plastic material datasheets, but chances are you probably have an internal list of preapproved materials or suppliers you prefer to work with. What if those materials were flagged on every results table in Prospector, making ‘in-use’ grades easily identifiable so you don’t reinvent the wheel when doing material selection for a new application?
Join Melissa Jones of IDES to see how we can integrate your resin lists and private data into Prospector to make material selection more efficient and help meet your consolidation goals.
