DSM has strong product positions for its key materials allowing us to cover more of your requirements, reducing the number of vendors, freeing your valuable resources and saving you time.

• Akulon Ultraflow has 80% better flow than normal polyamides allowing for faster cycles and thinner walls – ideal for engine covers and intake manifolds.
• Arnitel provides easier processing, lower fill pressures, faster cycling, and greater design flexibility for airducts through its better flow characteristics.
• Akulon ES enables electrostatic powder coating in a single primerless step, lowering costs and environmental load in automotive roof racks.
• Stanyl offers shorter cycle times and better processing for wear and heat resistant engine, transmission and electrical components.

• Akulon Ultraflow gives a superior finish to reinforced nylon parts like engine covers that can eliminate after-treatments and reduce system costs.
• Arnitel PL471 has excellent adhesion to PC and polyester based materials, enabling 2K molding processes that reduce or eliminate visible joins or weld lines, improving surface finish for airbag covers.

• Stanyl high modulus grades extend the scope for metal replacement in applications like chain tensioners at temperatures up to 200°C (390°F).
• Gears in Stanyl transmit higher torque at smaller sizes; replacing metal gears with redesigned components that reduce overall costs.
• Using Arnitel in ducting integrates part functionality with lower fabrication costs and easier assembly.
• Akulon grades are as easy to mold as standard resins but with higher stiffness for metal applications.
