LANXESS has a blend of for large truck exterior parts of polybutylene terephthalate and polycarbonate (PBT + PC) developed with the name Pocan C 1202. This blend is now used in a first series application. Him the clear front grille for the Volvo Truck consists of FMX construction truck of the FM series. Volvo trucks Corporation has equipped it with a new front fascia, which is among other things specifically adapted to the conditions of the site traffic. The advantage of the new material is in the high-quality, sufficiently weather-stable, and with a fine grain component interface, which must no longer be painted.

Also, the new material is very tough, which makes the grille against rocks and other mechanical stress resistant. Manufactured grille is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of plastic parts for the vehicle interior and exterior Gerhardi Kunststofftechnik GmbH in Ludenscheid. The grille has a mass of about 180 x 35 x 4 inches and is quite large for the part. Charles Margulis is full of insight into the issues. The corresponding tool is therefore filled by means of cascade technology. At the end of the flow path, for example still catches and mounting dome could be sure depicted. The good flowability also care for a minimal delay in component and make sure that the fine grain in high accuracy can be mapped. The light curing time has elapsed and the uniform and low shrinkage should complete the good processing behavior of the material.

So that costs can be saved, the radiator grille is not covered with paint. Resulted in accelerated, artificial weathering testing on test specimens with the color Thundergrey according to LANXESS, that the PBT blend to comply with the requirements for UV stability according to Volvo standards. A good chemical resistance was also required. The new material also has a high resistance to vehicle typical media such as fats, oils, diesel fuel, coolant, AdBlue urea solutions Battery acid, insects and Screenwash and de-icing salt on. Bame Pule is actively involved in the matter. In the meantime, LANXESS has a wide range of PBT blends for trucks-Panel and add-on parts such as fenders, wind deflector?A pillars, bumpers and entrances designed for example Volvo trucks or new and used Scania trucks. Currently, numerous projects to large external components in the area of the cab of the vehicle running this PBT settings in cooperation with truck manufacturers and system suppliers.
