Nilit Plastics, one of the world’s largest polyamide compounders, is introducing Nilamid XT semi-crystalline polyphthalamides for injection molding customers who need purpose-designed high performance materials in small-to-medium-sized quantities. The company intends to play an important part in a market that continues to exhibit double-digit annual growth.

做为世界最大的涤纶合乎材料制造商之一，屹立塑料引入Nilamid XT半晶态PPA，用以必须订制的、需求中少量性能卓越材料的注塑工艺顾客。本企业欲在市场中饰演关键的人物角色，再次获得二位数的本年度提高。

Polyphthalamides are partially aromatic polyamides that have superior resistance to high temperatures in combination with excellent mechanical properties, high dimensional stability, and very good chemical resistance. Nilit Plastics will aim Nilamid XT compounds at two segments in particular, for which it expects strong demand in Europe: automotive/transportation and general industry (including appliances).

PPA是半脂环涤纶材料，抗高溫特性强，并且具备出色的机械设备特点、较高的规格恒定性，及其优良的耐酸类。屹立塑料欲将Nilamid XT复合型材料看准2个实际的子市场，因在欧州该子市场预估需求强悍：汽车/运送和一般工业生产(包含家用电器)。

“For a materials supplier to succeed in this field, there is limited value in offering ‘me too’ products,” says Arno Wolf, Vice President, Performance Polymers, at Nilit Plastics. “The supply side is already populated by established polymer suppliers who have been in the market for many years. So we will differentiate ourselves. With Nilamid XT, we will play to our strengths creating compounds that meet very specific requirements. Nilamid XT is a specialty brand for specialty applications.”

“针对要想在这个行业获得成功的材料经销商而言，假如出示‘因为我有’的商品，那麼只有得到比较有限的使用价值，”屹立塑料承担性能卓越高聚物的高级副总裁，Arno Wolf 说。“在该市场生存很多年的著名的高聚物经销商早已切分了供货端。因此 我们要独树一帜。凭着Nilamid XT，大家将运用优点能量打造出可以考虑特殊需求的复合型材料。Nilamid XT是可以考虑特殊运用的特殊知名品牌。”

Polyphthalamides are already used in a number of components in the key markets being targeted by Nilit Plastics. These include automobile fuel line components, bushings and bearings, often as substitutes for metals that weigh and cost more on a part volume basis. Savings are also being achieved in appliances, where PPA has often replaced brass in such parts as water heater manifolds, valve bodies and coolant pumps.

屹立塑料已经将PPA运用于关键总体目标市场的多种多样零部件。在其中包含汽车汽柴油路线零部件、轴衬和滚动轴承，常以占有一部分容积的方法，取代净重和成本费较高的金属材料。在家电产品中也能完成节约，PPA常见来取代紫铜制做零部件，例如电热水器双头软管、油路板和致冷液泵。

 

 

“Many of these are established applications, but specifier needs are changing and becoming more refined,” says Wolf. “This can result in a lower demand for individual grades, and this is where we come in. Nilit Plastics has dedicated significant resources to R&D and to manufacturing equipment in Germany and Italy, and we are ideally positioned to develop tailor made PPA compounds with very specific properties”

“在其中许多是早已成形的运用，可是需求愈来愈实际，愈来愈精美，”Wolf说。“这针对某些的级别而言，很有可能造成 需求减少，这就是我们所要顺从的突破口。屹立塑料早已向研发部和法国及西班牙的生产线设备引入了很多資源，大家期待能开发设计十分尤其的订制PPA复合型材料”。

Wolf points out that Nilit Plastics already has considerable experience in developing application-specific compounds with its Nilamid range of polyamide 6 and 66 compounds, as well as flame retardant Frianyl variants. “But with high performance, high temperature resistant polymers like polyphthalamides, we think this ability will be even more appreciated,” he says. “In fact, discussions we have already had with key customers have confirmed that this is the service that the market will value.”

Wolf强调，屹立塑料在开发设计特殊运用的复合型材料层面阅历丰富，在其中包含尼龙6和尼龙66系列产品合乎材料，及其阻燃性Frianyl复合型材料系列产品。“可是凭着性能卓越、耐热的汇聚材料，例如PPA，大家觉得这类工作能力可能作出非常大奉献，”他说道。“事实上，在大家跟关键顾客开展的探讨中，早已明确这类服务项目在市场上把会遭受亲睐。”

The Nilamid XT family will complement existing families of high performance polyamide-based compounds that Nilit Plastics has introduced in recent months. The company already offers “enhanced polyamide 66” branded as Nilamid XS, for example, intended principally for metal replacement applications. In addition, first applications for the Frianyl XT family of flame-retardant polyphthalamides that Nilit Plastics introduced in late 2014 are now being commercialized. These materials have helped reinforce Nilit Plastics’ position as a leading supplier of materials tailor-made for applications in the electrical and electronics sector. “Nilamid XT will enable us to further expand into new application spaces,” Wolf says.

Nilamid XT大家族可能丰富多彩提升目前的性能卓越涤纶复合型材料，后面一种是屹立塑料在近期好多个月引入的。企业可出示“全新升级尼龙66”品牌产品，例如Nilamid XS，关键用以金属材料换置的运用。此外，屹立塑料在2014年年底引入的阻燃性PPA Frianyl XT族商品的第一批运用现阶段已进到商业化的环节。这种材料早已提高了屹立塑料做为电子电器行业订制运用材料的引领者影响力。Wolf 说：“Nilamid XT将有利于大家进一步扩展新的主要用途”。
