Husco, a supplier of high-performance automotive components, said recently that it has successfully developed innovative technologies for next-generation vehicles using SABIC's ULTEM™ polyetherimide (PEI) resins, and looks forward to further collaboration with SABIC
.
Husco was one of the first component manufacturers to use ULTEM™ resins in automotive applications
.
Headquartered in Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA, Husco has established factories in many countries around the world to support the technology development of many well-known automotive OEMs
.
A typical application for ULTEM™ resins in Husco products is electro-hydraulic control valve assemblies
.
Husco's most widely used products are cam phasing and variable valve timing (VVT) technology
.
In addition, the company is one of the innovative pioneers in variable displacement oil pump control technology
.
ULTEM™ resin is an amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide (PEI) resin with excellent high temperature resistance, high strength and stiffness, and resistance to a wide range of chemicals, resulting in excellent mechanical properties and processability.
The perfect balance between sex
.
Key benefits of ULTEM™ resins include long-term heat resistance up to 180°C, excellent strength and stiffness at temperatures up to 200°C, and dimensional stability over a wide temperature range for extremely high long-term strength and inherent flame retardancy without additives
.
ULTEM™ resins were favored by Husco for a number of advantages
.
The most important of these is that the material is easy to injection mold and eliminates the need for secondary operations such as annealing
.
It has very low creep, which is invaluable in almost constant stress applications
.
In addition, the material gives designers the freedom to design complex parts
.
"In applications such as engine valve assemblies, we need extreme precision and micron-level dimensional stability at temperatures as low as -40°C to as high as 150°C, as this product is sometimes in its 700 million cycles under constant vibration load over a lifetime
.
ULTEM™ resin is the best thermoplastic material we have seen that meets these requirements
.
Another major advantage of ULTEM™ is that it is an amorphous material, and other high temperature This reduces the impact of processing settings compared to semi-crystalline materials
.
”
Schmitz pointed out that the technical services provided by SABIC throughout the design, development and manufacturing stages are also of great value
.
Husco develops a range of extremely complex component products and is recognized as one of the most innovative component application developers in the automotive industry today
.
"We value the support from SABIC to help us take full advantage of its high-performance materials and continue to optimize innovation
.
"
Husco will continue to use ULTEM™ resins in future applications
.
Todd Dickrell, Corporate Vice President of Purchasing, said: "We are delighted to learn that SABIC is expanding capacity in Singapore and the United States
.
We and our customers are delighted to have ULTEM™ resins available from production sites around the world
.
