Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processors, Friedrichshafen Oct 13-17, 2015 DuPont Performance Polymers, Booth 4201, Hall B4


This year Europe’s Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processors comes at the same time DuPont celebrates the 80th anniversary of nylon!



Monday



Today, on the eve of the opening of Europe’s Fakuma trade fair, we invite you to consider how DuPont nylon – at 80 years old – is still changing the world.  This is one of four news items we plan to share this week.



This release will publish at 7:00 am ET: At 80, DuPont Nylon is Still Changing the World



Tuesday



Structural engine brackets stabilize and align the engine – making this component of lightweight plastic instead of metal to save weight is no easy feat.  Today we share how the team from DuPont, ElringKlinger and Daimler AG managed the project as we share a news item per day during Europe’s Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processors.



This release will publish on Tuesday at 8:00 am ET: Daimler AG Replaces Metal with DuPont™ Zytel® Polyamide in Engine Brackets



Wednesday



New Super Fast DuPont™ Crastin® SF PBT flows 30 percent faster than standard PBT to allow thinner, lighter and more complex shapes for electrical and electronic applications.  Our news-item-a-day during Europe’s Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processors focuses on how Continental Automotive put it to work in thermal housings that protect a delicate sensor module controlling the engine thermal management system.



This release will publish on Wednesday at 8:00 am ET: Continental Uses DuPont™ Crastin® Super Fast PBT for new Contactless Position Sensor Housing



Thursday



We close our news from  Europe’s Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processors with a story about new DuPont materials that can stand up to long term exposure to heat and gases in turbo-charged environments. Turbo systems are growing exponentially as the auto industry lowers CO2 emissions and improves fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance.



This release will publish on Thursday at 8:00 am ET: New DuPont Air Duct Materials Reign in Turbo-Charged Environments
