These materials must be able to withstand the effects of hydrogen transfer without contaminating the energy source or harming the pipe in order to keep the energy system safe. This company designed an internal pipeline applicator to reinforce the pipe from the inside to handle the new pressure demands of hydrogen. The reinforcement material increased breaking efficiency, resistance to long-term creep, elevated temperatures, and cyclical strain- based fatigue.

Mold design also influences the optimization of weight reduction, surface aesthetics and cell uniformity. Sink marks and warpage are caused by material shrinkage in thick or asymmetric areas during cooling. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

One change was to deliver the raw material in round, underwater-cut pellets rather than the square pellets provided by the other material source. New tooling was also being developed at the time, and the team was able to provide design input that minimized mold shrinkage during production. Overall, cost performance for the new material was 40 percent better than for other competitive materials – a level of value the supplier didn’t anticipate when merely seeking another source for a commodity raw material.

These new materials also solve the long-standing problem of undesirable water absorption levels in other bio-derived polyamide materials available today. Renewable, plant-based raw materials, have been shown to offer significantly lower product carbon footprint values than typical petroleum-based feedstock. Our new Nymax BIO line of bio-based polyamide formulations exemplifies our continuous innovation in developing sustainable materials, and expands the material choices for design engineers while mitigating the risk of water absorption.” 

Lastly, our design capabilities ensure that the application is designed perfectly for the specific end use. Our exceptional polymer scientists and design engineers are integral to their product development process. Design times can be less than three days for colorants.
