Nilit Plastics, one of the world’s largest polyamide compounders, is introducing Nilamid XT semi-crystalline polyphthalamides for injection molding customers who need purpose-designed high performance materials in small-to-medium-sized quantities. The company intends to play an important part in a market that continues to exhibit double-digit annual growth.

做為世界最大的滌綸合乎材料制造商之一，屹立塑料引入Nilamid XT半晶態PPA，用以必須訂制的、需求中少量性能卓越材料的注塑工藝顧客。本企業欲在市場中飾演關鍵的人物角色，再次獲得二位數的本年度提高。

Polyphthalamides are partially aromatic polyamides that have superior resistance to high temperatures in combination with excellent mechanical properties, high dimensional stability, and very good chemical resistance. Nilit Plastics will aim Nilamid XT compounds at two segments in particular, for which it expects strong demand in Europe: automotive/transportation and general industry (including appliances).

PPA是半脂環滌綸材料，抗高溫特性強，并且具備出色的機械設備特點、較高的規格恒定性，及其優良的耐酸類。屹立塑料欲將Nilamid XT復合型材料看準2個實際的子市場，因在歐州該子市場預估需求強悍：汽車/運送和一般工業生產(包含家用電器)。

“For a materials supplier to succeed in this field, there is limited value in offering ‘me too’ products,” says Arno Wolf, Vice President, Performance Polymers, at Nilit Plastics. “The supply side is already populated by established polymer suppliers who have been in the market for many years. So we will differentiate ourselves. With Nilamid XT, we will play to our strengths creating compounds that meet very specific requirements. Nilamid XT is a specialty brand for specialty applications.”

“針對要想在這個行業獲得成功的材料經銷商而言，假如出示‘因為我有’的商品，那麼只有得到比較有限的使用價值，”屹立塑料承擔性能卓越高聚物的高級副總裁，Arno Wolf 說?！霸谠撌袌錾婧芏嗄甑闹母呔畚锝涗N商早已切分了供貨端。因此 我們要獨樹一幟。憑著Nilamid XT，大家將運用優點能量打造出可以考慮特殊需求的復合型材料。Nilamid XT是可以考慮特殊運用的特殊知名品牌?！?/p>

Polyphthalamides are already used in a number of components in the key markets being targeted by Nilit Plastics. These include automobile fuel line components, bushings and bearings, often as substitutes for metals that weigh and cost more on a part volume basis. Savings are also being achieved in appliances, where PPA has often replaced brass in such parts as water heater manifolds, valve bodies and coolant pumps.

屹立塑料已經將PPA運用于關鍵總體目標市場的多種多樣零部件。在其中包含汽車汽柴油路線零部件、軸襯和滾動軸承，常以占有一部分容積的方法，取代凈重和成本費較高的金屬材料。在家電產品中也能完成節約，PPA常見來取代紫銅制做零部件，例如電熱水器雙頭軟管、油路板和致冷液泵。

“Many of these are established applications, but specifier needs are changing and becoming more refined,” says Wolf. “This can result in a lower demand for individual grades, and this is where we come in. Nilit Plastics has dedicated significant resources to R&D and to manufacturing equipment in Germany and Italy, and we are ideally positioned to develop tailor made PPA compounds with very specific properties”

“在其中許多是早已成形的運用，可是需求愈來愈實際，愈來愈精美，”Wolf說。“這針對某些的級別而言，很有可能造成 需求減少，這就是我們所要順從的突破口。屹立塑料早已向研發部和法國及西班牙的生產線設備引入了很多資源，大家期待能開發設計十分尤其的訂制PPA復合型材料”。

Wolf points out that Nilit Plastics already has considerable experience in developing application-specific compounds with its Nilamid range of polyamide 6 and 66 compounds, as well as flame retardant Frianyl variants. “But with high performance, high temperature resistant polymers like polyphthalamides, we think this ability will be even more appreciated,” he says. “In fact, discussions we have already had with key customers have confirmed that this is the service that the market will value.”

Wolf強調，屹立塑料在開發設計特殊運用的復合型材料層面閱歷豐富，在其中包含尼龍6和尼龍66系列產品合乎材料，及其阻燃性Frianyl復合型材料系列產品。“可是憑著性能卓越、耐熱的匯聚材料，例如PPA，大家覺得這類工作能力可能作出非常大奉獻，”他說道?！笆聦嵣希诖蠹腋P鍵顧客開展的探討中，早已明確這類服務項目在市場上把會遭受親睞?！?/p>

The Nilamid XT family will complement existing families of high performance polyamide-based compounds that Nilit Plastics has introduced in recent months. The company already offers “enhanced polyamide 66” branded as Nilamid XS, for example, intended principally for metal replacement applications. In addition, first applications for the Frianyl XT family of flame-retardant polyphthalamides that Nilit Plastics introduced in late 2014 are now being commercialized. These materials have helped reinforce Nilit Plastics’ position as a leading supplier of materials tailor-made for applications in the electrical and electronics sector. “Nilamid XT will enable us to further expand into new application spaces,” Wolf says.

Nilamid XT大家族可能豐富多彩提升目前的性能卓越滌綸復合型材料，后面一種是屹立塑料在近期好多個月引入的。企業可出示“全新升級尼龍66”品牌產品，例如Nilamid XS，關鍵用以金屬材料換置的運用。此外，屹立塑料在2014年年底引入的阻燃性PPA Frianyl XT族商品的第一批運用現階段已進到商業化的環節。這種材料早已提高了屹立塑料做為電子電器行業訂制運用材料的引領者影響力。Wolf 說：“Nilamid XT將有利于大家進一步擴展新的主要用途”。
