Xytron™ is a high performance plastic compound of DSM Engineering Plastics, which is based on PPS (polyphenylene sulphide).
Xytron™ offers extremely good chemical resistance, dimensional stability, intrinsic flame retardancy and high stiffness.
Because of its outstanding properties, Xytron™ contributes to an excellent performance in many different applications.
Fuel tanks are the perfect components to lightweight, but this opportunity does come with its challenges. Lightweighting applications designed for ICE vehicles must help the entire vehicle meet the emission norms and fuel efficiency requirements, while applications for hybrid vehicles need to extend the driving range of the vehicle.
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) and predictive engineering (PE) applications are increasingly used in automotive validation testing since they help manufacturers bring parts to market faster. Working together with Digimat, DSM has invested in CAE and PE solutions that provide our customers with granular data on long-term part performance.
General Motors has recognized DSM Engineering Materials with a Supplier Quality Excellence Award for the 2019 calendar year. This is the fifth time in the last six years GM has recognized DSM for consistent quality performance throughout the year.
