苏威介绍Kalix高性能聚酰胺s

Solvay特种聚合物has introduced a new family of Kalix® high-performance polyamides (HPPAs)for structural components used in mobile healthcare (mHealth) electronic devices. The new products, which include the Kalix® HPPA 5000 halogen-free series and bio-based Kalix® HPPAs, deliver exceptional strength, stiffness, and significantly improved chemical resistance versus traditional polycarbonate (PC) or PC/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) materials typically used for covers and housings for mHealth electronic devices. Solvay made the announcement at the 2014 Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) Eastexhibition June 10-12 in New York City.

新的Kalix®HPPA-去年10月在德国首次推出了德国智能移动电子产品，是针对医疗保健显示器，终端和模块的框架和封面的独特产品，以及用于MHealth设备的底盘，房屋和挡板。

“This material introduction strengthens our commitment to both the healthcare and mobile electronics industries,” said Maria Gallahue-Worl, global healthcare business manager for Solvay Specialty Polymers. “We’ve leveraged our extensive know-how in polymer technology and our long-term presence in healthcare to give our customers a competitive edge in meeting their end-use requirements.”

Kalix®5950HFFR的高流量和低水分吸收使其特别适合于注入大型结构组件，例如框架和覆盖物，用于显示器，终端和需要强度，刚性和出色尺寸稳定性的模块。

Kalix® 5950 HFFR has received an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 94 flammability rating of V0 for electrical/electronics applications for thicknesses of 0.4 mm and above and 5VA at thicknesses of 1.5 mm and above (both ratings are for all colors). The 50% glass fiber-reinforced grade provides greater mechanical properties than competing HFFR polyamides, and serves as an alternative to metals. Its exceptional mechanical properties include a tensile modulus of 20 GPa (2900 kpsi) and tensile strength of 250 MPa (36 ksi).

Solvay还推出了一个新的基于生物的HPPA的投资组合，用于医疗OEM，希望结合可再生的基于生物的MHealth设备聚合物。其中包括Kalix®HPPA3000系列，第一个基于生物的无定形PPA和Kalix®2000系列，这是一个提供出色抗冲击力的生物源PPA等级系列。根据Gallahue-Worl的说法，该公司扩大的基于生物的PA的投资组合是由环保医学制造商不断努力寻求更可持续的替代方案的驱动的。

KALIX®3000系列将成为该行业的第一个基于生物的无定形PPA。这两个新等级 - Kalix®3850和Kalix®3950 - 提供较少的经纱，减少的收缩和低至闪光。由于较少的二级操作（例如缩放），这种提高的加工性可导致更严格的尺寸公差和更具成本效益的制造。根据ASTM D6866测试方法，用于确定基于生物的碳含量的ASTM D6866测试方法。

同时，基于PA 6,10的新型Kalix®2000系列由Kalix®2855和Kalix®2955组成。它们提供了强大的机械性能，高冲击力强度，出色的表面表面和低水分吸收。根据ASTM D6866，这两个复合等级由27％的可再生含量组成。

Both the Kalix® 2000 and 3000 series contain monomers that come from the sebacic acid chain which is derived from non-food competing and GMO-free castor oil. Overall, in addition to their renewable content, the grades (between 50-55% glass fiber loading) provide greater strength and stiffness than most competing glass-reinforced materials including high-performance PAs and lower-performing engineering plastics such as PC.

Both the Kalix® 2000 and 3000 series offer an ultra-smooth surface finish. Along with Kalix® 5950 HFFR, they can be matched to a wide range of colors including the bright and light colors used for mHealth electronic devices. They can also be painted with existing coatings commonly used for these devices.
