Nylon (or engineering) resins are found in diverse uses, including automotive and appliance components, electrical power distribution, and a wide variety of consumer goods and packaging film.
Epoxy resins have been used in automotive coatings since the 1980s. Their chemical properties include mechanical strength, adhesion to metals and heat resistance.
These properties facilitate the protection of car bodywork from corrosion and other damages, in some instances doubling the lifetime of a car.
Nylon 6/6 is the most used engineering thermoplastic in the automotive industry today due to its durability, workability, and temperature/chemical resistance.
The material is typically found in engine compartments, where it is exposed to harsh temperatures and fluids such as engine lubricants Epoxy resins are used for the manufacture of adhesives, coatings, paints, plastics, primers and sealers, floors and other items and materials used in building applications. Epoxies are plastics of thermoset formed by the reaction of two or more industrial chemical compounds.
Global automotive nylon resin market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Trinseo launching next-generation automotive resins.Trinso launching what it describes as the next generation of environmentally friendly solutions in its plastics portfolio, the MAGNUM BIO ABS range of resins.
The company’s established ABS solution is now available with up to 80 per cent bio-attributed content, based on an ISCC Mass Balance approach.
The MAGNUM BIO ABS solution has been designed for customers looking to increase sustainability efforts, but how do the materials compare as a fossil-based equivalent? According to a recent Trinseo press release, the next-generation of environmentally friendly automotive plastics offers identical performance properties and processability, including a very high flow, low VOC and odour release, low temperature ductility and very low density.
“The launch of MAGNUM BIO ABS further extends our portfolio of sustainably advantaged materials dedicated to the automotive industry. [W]e are excited to provide our automotive customers more solutions that help them achieve their sustainability targets.
