DSM partners with PlastiComp to develop bio-based LFT composite materials
In Singapore, Royal DSM has signed a partnership agreement with PlastiComp, Inc., based in Winona, Minnesota, to develop new innovative bio-based Long Fiber Thermoplastic composite materials for the automotive and other performance-driven markets. Central to this partnership is DSM’s commitment to sustainability—in this case with its EcoPaXX polyamide 410, 70% derived from renewable resources—and PlastiComp’s expertise in LFT composites design and manufacturing. Initial compounding, molding and testing of carbon-fiber reinforced EcoPaXX was successful in establishing benchmark composites for high-temperature (up to 200°C) and structural applications. The two partner companies will also collaborate with potential customers to design injection-molded composite parts.
