DSM partners with Axis Communications to develop biobased camera housing

In The Netherlands, DSM Engineering Materials announced it has supported Axis Communications, which offers products and services for video surveillance and analytics, access control, intercom, and audio systems, to deliver camera components made with EcoPaXX, a high-performance polyamide, which is made from renewable castor bean oil. The company noted that EcoPaXX is a high-performance aliphatic, biobased polyamide that balances the benefits of typical short and long chain polyamides, such as low moisture uptake and high mechanical performance. For Axis Communications, utilizing EcoPaXX is an important step towards minimizing the use of fossil fuels. “We see the use of biobased materials has an important step in the transformation to a world less dependant on fossil fuel,” said Carl Trotzig, Director of Quality and Environment at Axis.
