High Heat Materials
RadiciGroup exhibited with both standard and innovative materials at Auto Expo 2020. The standard line mainly includes two products, PA 6.6 Radilon® A and PA 6 Radilon® S, offered in a variety of grades that have been developed over the years to meet the needs of the various automotive segments (powertrain, thermal management, interiors and exteriors).
Product Offerings from Radicigroup at Display
RadiciGroup has introduced numerous innovative materials, such as Radilon® D (PA 610, partially obtained from bio-source materials), Radilon® DT (PA 612), Radilon® Aestus T1 (PPA) and Raditeck® (PPS).
Ideal for Exposure to High Temperatures
The very latest product, Radilon® NeXTreme, a polyamide material ideal for exposure to high temperatures (up to 230°C in air).
The new PA 612 (Radilon® DT) and PA 610 (Radilon® D) can withstand continuous exposure to temperatures higher than traditional PA 12. Applications of these products, include air ducts, cooling system ducts, TOC and SCR hoses, and fuel line tubes capable of passing tests in air and gasoline at continuous use temperatures of up to 120-130°C.
“
We have been present in India for many years. And that, on top of our well-run organization with a sustainability-oriented approach and a wide portfolio of innovative products, has made it possible to maintain close relationships with our customers in a crucially important market”, said Silvio Dorati, managing director India of RadiciGroup High Performance Polymers.
“
At our stand, visitors will be able to see end-user products made with our materials, for both the conventional automotive market and the e-mobility market. In the latter segment, lightweighting of vehicles through metal replacement acquires an even greater importance as it is essential for increasing mileage range and making them more sustainable” added Dorati.
Complete Range of Products for E-mobility
For e-mobility applications, RadiciGroup offers a complete range of products comprising polyamide flame resistant halogen and red phosphorous-free materials, for instance, Radiflam® A (PA 6.6) and Radiflam® S (PA 6), which are already being used in many components of the battery system, connectors and inverters for cars, heavy vehicles, motorcycles and electric bicycles.
The excellent mechanical and electrical properties and the ensured long-life of the components, even after exposure to harsh use conditions created by high temperatures and aggressive chemicals, make these RadiciGroup specialties particularly well suited and reliable for e-mobility applications.
