The development of small, powerful and efficient engines is leading to mounting demands on the materials in the engine compartment.
The air and media temperatures rise because of the
- reduction in the available space - increase in the packing density - higher charge air pressures (turbocharger)
The automotive industry is therefore interested in highly heat-resistant thermoplastics.
LANXESS is responding to this demand and, with its Durethan® XTS product series, has introduced suitable alternatives with regard to improved hot air resistance.
The favorable processing behavior and attractive price/performance ratio compared to specialty thermoplastics enable cost-effective component solutions that deliver excellent performance.
