Ascend Performance Materials, a producer of Polyamide 66 resin, will showcase product and application innovations for automotives and electronics at Fakuma 2017.
Ascend’s growing Vydyne family is helping solve automotive industry challenges to increase fuel efficiency and improve performance and comfort. These products find use in applications ranging from fasteners and electrical connectors to under-the-hood and external components, and are particularly prized for their ability to perform in harsh environments. Ascend’s latest PA66 compounds exhibit enhanced high temperature and hydrolysis resistance.

PA66-based compound ranges include the glass-filled, heat-stabilised Vydyne H series, Vydyne HR series with best-in-class hydrolysis performance, and Vydyne HT series which provides high levels of resistance to property degradation after long-term heat exposure beneficial in turbo-charged systems.
Ascend will also show several compounds with critical roles in hybrid and electric vehicles. The impact-modified Vydyne 40H and the electrically-neutral Vydyne J series are used to manage and protect the wiring that relays power and information throughout the vehicle. These compounds are ideal for hybrid and EV connectors, cable jacketing, cable ties and fasteners.
Scott Rook, Ascend’s Vice-President of Nylon, said: “The shift already underway in the auto industry requires innovation and technology. Our newest Vydyne PA66 compounds are not only innovative in their own right, but they spur innovation in engineering and design.”
Volker Kessler, Ascend’s European automotive segment manager, will be discussing the company’s innovative PA66 solutions for electric and hybrid vehicles on Tuesday, 17 October, between 1420 – 1500hrs in the Fakuma Exhibitor Forum in the Foyer East – Gallery – Europa Lounge.
