-Online-paintable fuel filler flap made from PBT

Customized compounds based on polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) can be a cost-effective alternative to high-performance thermoplastics in the production of fuel filler flaps. This can be seen in the new Skoda Scala, for example, whose fuel filler flap is made from Pocan B5221XF from materials supplier Lanxess.

PBT fuel filler cap is a lower-cost, yet high-performance alternative to resins such as PPE+PA.

The PBT compound was given preference over a blend of polyphenylene ether and polyamide (PPE+PA). “Our material is less expensive and exhibits comparable performance when it comes to surface quality, paintability, and mechanical properties.

-Polymers: Linoleic acid derived from vegetable oils to replace crude oil

Everyone knows that our raw material resources, such as oil, are limited. Reason enough to think about alternatives for a wide variety of applications.

The annual production of around 400 million metric tons of polymers, for example, is still extracted for the most part from crude oil.

This may soon change in this market, which is considered one of the most significant in the chemical industry.

Researchers from the Faculty of Applied Sciences at the  Cologne University of Applied Sciences have developed a process for using linoleic acid – which can be obtained from vegetable oils by hydrolysis and distillation – as a new source for bio-based polymer intermediates.
