    Royal Dutch DSM Group, a global scientific company active in the fields of health, nutrition and materials, has added a new member to its high temperature resistant material family-Arnitel® HT TPC, which raises the long-term working problem of high temperature resistant TPC to 175°C, peak The temperature is increased to 190°C.
    DSM uses the Arnitel® HT TPC material solution to help automakers create a highly innovative one-piece flexible heat-pressurizing tube to realize one-step production process, which not only greatly improves production efficiency, but also reduces production costs by about 50%.
    %, weight loss up to 40%.
    At the same time, it greatly reduces the risk of deformation, leakage and disconnection of the hot supercharged pipe during engine operation, and brings a new standard for flexible supercharged hot intake pipes to the automotive industry.

    Nowadays, in order to achieve higher energy efficiency, the automotive industry has become increasingly demanding on engine systems, especially for the temperature resistance, pressure resistance and stability of the supercharged intake pipe.
    The current manufacturing process of the supercharged hot air intake pipe mostly adopts a three-section assembly structure, that is, the rubber fittings and the engineering plastic (or metal) fittings are assembled with metal joints.
    The production process is complicated and the production cost is high.
    Risks such as easy disengagement, and the service life is difficult to guarantee.

    As a leading supplier of innovative material solutions, DSM has helped the automotive industry create highly innovative integrated flexibility through long-term close cooperation with automobile manufacturers, and relying on the professional material experience and structural design experience of the R&D and technical teams.
    Heat booster tube.
    The thermal booster tube adopts Arnitel® HT TPC (thermoplastic elastomer) in the DSM high temperature resistant material family to realize the one-step molding of the production process and the integration of the part structure, which not only greatly improves the production efficiency, but also reduces the production cost.
    About 50%, weight reduction can reach 40%.
    At the same time, the risk of deformation, leakage and disconnection of the hot supercharger tube during engine operation is greatly reduced.The hot boost tube needs to withstand high temperature environment for a long time.
    The engine and the intercooler (fixed on the chassis of the car) connected at its two ends will continuously produce relative movement during the driving process of the car, and the ease of the hot boost tube must be considered.
    Installability, therefore, requires the applied materials to have both high temperature resistance and flexibility.
    Although the three-section structure made of rubber and engineering plastics can meet the above requirements, due to the relatively poor mechanical and thermal properties of rubber, a large wall thickness is required to meet the requirements of the hot pressurized air pipe, and the weight of the components is relatively large.
    In addition, thermosetting rubber cannot be recycled, thus greatly reducing the environmental friendliness of the components.

    However, ordinary thermoplastic elastomers obviously cannot meet the demanding requirements of heat-pressurizing tubes for the temperature resistance of materials.
    As the inventor of Diablo's high temperature resistant technology, DSM, with its more than 25 years of professional experience in the field of air intake system materials, successfully invented Arnitel® HT TPC high temperature resistant thermoplastic elastomer, redefining the temperature resistance of thermoplastic elastomers Standard, the long-term working temperature of heat-resistant TPC is increased from 150°C to 175°C.
    At the same time, the thermal aging performance of Arnitel® HT TPC has also been greatly improved, and it has excellent high temperature oil resistance.
    Not only that, Arnitel® HT TPC is a thermoplastic material, so the material can be recycled after the component is scrapped.

    DSM’s technicians also help customers improve the sound-absorbing structure of the turbocharger's air outlet, so as to avoid additional radiation noise caused by the use of TPC materials, and fully consider the comfort requirements of passengers.

    In terms of supercharged cold pipes, DSM can provide Akulon® PA6 and ordinary Arnitel® material solutions.
    Through blow molding and injection molding processes, the supercharged cold pipes can be converted to plastic instead of steel.
