Predicting the mechanical performance of gears is essential to reducing the time and cost associated with developing new gear applications. We have developed a framework based on experimental case studies, local fiber orientation and intrinsic material behavior that accurately predicts the fatigue lifetime of gears.
Speaking at the ITB Thermal Management Systems & Materials Conference 2024, in Novi, Michigan, Russell Bloomfield, Application Development Manager, presented a session about the performance of proven PPA and PPS materials developed for hybrid and EV thermal management systems, along with findings from chemical exposure tests conducted with dielectric fluids related to immersive cooling.
During Envalior’s Engineering Materials Forum, attendees to this online forum were treated to best practices and inspirational discussions about engineering materials and applications. The forum featured 15 expert-led sessions offering a wealth of expertise for engineers and designers.
The Ahrend Remode is the most sustainable office chair yet—it is lightweight, modular, and made of recycled and recyclable materials. The chair’s structural seat components, backrest mechanism and the star base are manufactured from Akulon® RePurposed, a high-performance polyamide, made from recycled fishing nets. The mechanical recyclate closes Remode’s value chain designed for recycling and reduces CO2 emissions.
At the NPE 2024 Plastics Show, Jose Chirino, Technical Director at Envalior was a panelist for the Automotive Industry Plastic Materials Update presented by Chase Plastics. Topics discussed included the latest polymer developments, key market trends, plastics that have the potential to transform the sector, and the importance of sustainability in material choices.
Envalior made its NPE 2024 debut in Orlando, Florida, May 6 -10, 2024. We revealed innovative applications at our booth, including a hydrogen fuel tank liner and a lightweight high-voltage battery housing. We also showcased sustainable clothing and athletic shoes, medical supplies, building and construction materials, food packaging solutions, and consumer goods.
Envalior made its Chinaplas 2024 debut in Shanghai, April 22-26. We revealed innovative applications at our booth, including lightweight automotive components, energy storage connectors and inverters, a flying camera made of low density highly bio-based materials, and sustainable sports shoes.
As the electric vehicle (EV) share of the automobile market continues to grow, the new means of propulsion has created the need to take a fresh look at automotive design, engineering and manufacturing. The automobile industry is demanding lighter, stronger and safer products, and Envalior engineering materials experts are meeting those demands with innovative new materials.
Arnitel® material grades are frequently used in film applications that are permeable to water vapor or "breathable." For proper application designs, engineers want to be able to predict moisture vapor transmission rates (MVTR) for material grades and know how it affects material performance in specific applications. Our Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate Tool allows you to easily estimate the MVTR of a material you are considering.
Engineering thermoplastics like PBT and PBT blends have potential for applications in the EV battery sector. Although PBT has been widely utilized in electrical and electronic automotive components, it may be challenging to find a material specifically for battery components. Certain requirements must be met, and so Envalior and Hella tailormade a material for BMU and CMU housings that is resistance to heat and chemicals.
