Solvay's High-Performance Polyamides Division announces significant advances in its Technyl® polyamide (PA) product portfolio, providing tailored cost-effective solutions to meet the needs of hybrid, pure electric (xEV) and self-driving vehicles. Increasing common demand for improved electrical and electronic component performance to address key challenges and disruptive trends such as connected cars and autonomous vehicles.
Nicolas Batailley, Global Head of Electric Vehicles, Solvay's High-Performance Polyamides Division, said: "China's position in the electric vehicle industry continues to increase. China's electric vehicle production has accounted for 33% of the world's total, and it is still developing ambitious electric The automotive industry plans to increase the share of electric vehicles in all new production vehicles to 20% by 2025, which is equivalent to the production of 7 million electric vehicles per year. In order to fully support China's achievement of this challenging goal, we further enrich The Technyl® portfolio. "
The upgraded Technyl® product line includes flame retardant solutions, pure resin and high purity electrical materials products, and new non-ionic PA66 products for fuel cell applications. This groundbreaking product line was developed in close collaboration with Solvay, its original equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 auto parts suppliers to address the market's toughest cost, performance and sustainability challenges.
Batailley added: "As we continue to innovate our portfolio for electric vehicles, we have also developed a series of highly stable Technyl® high voltage (marked orange) products. We focus on high voltage withstands such as connectors, circuit breakers and insulators Component, the easily recognizable orange is a new black. "
The competitive advantages of Solvay's High-Performance Polyamide Division also include providing comprehensive services to help customers shorten their time to market, and to enable customers to take full advantage of the advantages of Technyl® material solutions to provide customers with the highest standards throughout the design Service technical support. These services include predictive simulation testing using MMI® Technyl® Design1, 3D printing of PA6-based functional part prototypes with Sinterline® PA6 powder, and component testing at the well-equipped APT® Technyl® component performance verification center 2.
Automotive electrical and electronic components, including connectors, circuit breakers, sensors, and insulators for orange-labeled products suitable for high-voltage applications, are facing cost / performance challenges. As the electric transportation market continues to grow, so too is the demand for materials that can solve these problems. Technyl® e-range from Solvay's High-Performance Polyamides Division focuses on meeting this need.
