DSM Akolon Ultraflow - belongs to PA6's "Shun" nature

DSM Akulon®Ultraflow is an easy-to-process PA6 that improves fluidity by 80% compared to ordinary PA6s and reduces injection molding cycles by 40% without affecting the mechanical properties of the material.
Akolon® Ultraflow is used in many demanding products such as hoods, air-infested manifolds, automotive exterior mirror housings, furniture and power tools. Akulon ® behind Ultraflow's faster traffic is not only through faster cycle times, but is also equivalent to reducing system costs

Akulon®Ultraflow application benefits: engineers gain more design freedom by achieving thinner wall thicknesses that require less material, more mold cavities mean lower production costs, and molded parts on lower tonnage machines increase manufacturing flexibility. Improve the surface appearance while reducing the need for painting, expand the range of alternative metals, reduce product weight, apply to cars, fuel and carbon correspondingly reduced.
surface appearance
Akulon ® Ultraflow provides a better surface appearance than normal PA6®, reducing secondary surface treatment processes such as painting and part rejection. In addition, components made ® Alulon-Ulraflow 50-60% glass-reinforced grades have a similar surface appearance to ordinary 30% glass-reinforced PA6 components. With a similar surface appearance, the Akulon Ultraflow material adds more reinforced material, an excellent surface appearance that is ideal for making thin-walled components with high-strength grade requirements.replaced metals and plastics
Akulon Ultraflow K-FHG0 and Akulon Ultraflow K-FHG12, significantly reducing metal replacement costs and providing a huge opportunity for metal replacement. Akulon ® weight and noise reduction achieved by Ultraflow contributes to the development of the entire value chain.
Akulon®Ultraflow also offers the option to replace high-temperature thermoplastics, providing greater design freedom and combining higher glass loads with thinner wall sections for the same stiffness and dimensional integrity.
Akulon®Ultraflow can also save money by replacing 30-40% fiberglass filled with PPS or aromatic polyamides that provide stiffness and/or appearance at operating temperatures above 100 degrees C.
at certain temperatures, the Akulon Ultraflow K-FGH0 or K-FGH12 offers a harder, stronger and more attractive look than expensive engineering plastics.automotive applications - oil pans
especially in metal substitutes, as Mercedes and DSM's first-tier customers BBP, Kunstoffwerk Marbach Baier, have demonstrated. The new Mercedes S-Class sedan features a breakthrough oil pan made from DSM's unique Akulon®UltraflowPA6: it weighs 50% less than its metal weight while meeting various performance standards. Meeting the extreme performance requirements of the oil pan is a challenge for DSM and Akulon®Ultraflow to meet head-on: this unique high fluidity, oil resistance, fiberglass-reinforced polyamide releases major processing and performance benefits for our customers - without compromising mechanical properties.
DSM research team, in close cooperation with Germany's BBP, carried out a series of demanding application tests on the Akulon®Ultraflow oil pan. Akulon ® Ultraflow oil pans are all up to application level and are now in production, and DSM believes it will be used by more manufacturers as they see the benefits. Akulon®Ultraflow's rapid flow is not only equivalent to faster cycle times and less warping, but because the material makes the wall thicker, it means less material is needed - which in turn gives engineers more design freedom.Future period: integrated oil pan system
In the next few years, DSM expects to see the introduction of a mixed oil pan, integrated with a structurally loaded base plate that carries the load from the drive system, and expects the entire module to be made entirely of thermoplastic components, connected using vibration welding technology.automotive applications - MPC bonnetAkulon®Ultraflow is a glass and mineral-enhanced PA6 with excellent fluidity and low warp.
Akolon ® Ultraflow is DSM's glass and mineral-enhanced PA6, with excellent fluidity and low warp. It offers a wide variety of benefits to a growing number of automotive hood manufacturers, including U.S. automotive specialist Micro Precision Components (MPC).
manufacturer wants excellent machining properties, minimal warping and an excellent surface appearance. Akulon ® Ultraflow to meet all MPC standards. MPC chose Aulon®Ultraflow K-FHGM24 (10% glass fiber-reinforced material with 20% mineral fillers) because it produces much lower warped parts than other fiberglass-reinforced mineral-filled nylons. This results in significant costs, mainly because anti-warping cooling is not required immediately after the molding process.
akulon ® the faster flow of Ultraflow also reduces the cycle time of the MPC plastic bonnet, further reducing system costs. And because this material reduces wall thickness by up to 20%, fewer materials are required to produce parts, providing engineers with more design freedom. The material's excellent mechanical properties combined with its excellent aesthetic performance prompted MPC to consider whether Aculon®Ultraflow is now available for other traditional production parts.
