http://www.ems-group.com News, Finanz- und Medienmitteilungen der EMS-Gruppe de-ch Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:09:55 GMT http://www.ems-group.ch/ems.gif http://www.ems-gruppe.com A new polyamide, specifically developed for the manufacture of tubes, sets new standards with regard to the influence of temperature. The combination of good flexibility at low temperatures and excellent stiffness at high temperatures is the real strength of the new Grilamid 2S. Tubes for brake booster systems are a good example of this. http://www.emsgrivory.com/ext_newsinhalt.cfm?newsid=1740 1740 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:08:00 GMT EMS-GRIVORY, a business unit of EMS-CHEMIE AG, will increase its production capacity for Grivory HT high-performance polyamide, a polyamide bringing top performance at high temperatures. EMS will further increase its capacity by constructing an additional Grivory HT manufacturing plant in Europe. Start-up of the new plant is planned for the end of 2010. This investment will allow EMS-GRIVORY to further underline its position as market leader. Grivory HT belongs to the family of polyphthalamide (PPA) materials - the engineering polymer displaying the most rapid growth, with double-digit growth figures. Grivory HT is characterised by its high-performance property profile. Technical injection-moulded parts made of this material impress with their very high strength, stiffness, toughness and dimensional stability, even at high temperatures, and under moist conditions or when exposed to aggressive media. Grivory HT is used for the efficient manufacture of high-quality technical parts characterised by: - stiffness and strength at high application temperatures - little change in properties following take-up of water - good dimensional stability and a low tendency to warp - good resistance to chemicals - good surface properties - cost-saving, economic manufacturing processes http://www.emsgrivory.com/ext_newsinhalt.cfm?newsid=1704 1704 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:05:00 GMT EMS-GRIVORY (CH) will increase with effect from April 1st, 2010 their prices in Europe by 5%. The products concerned are Grilamid TR, Grivory GV/HT and Grilon A, B and TS. These price increases result chiefly from the high raw material costs since the beginning of this year. Despite great efforts in productivity, we were not able to compensate for these increases. http://www.emsgrivory.com/ext_newsinhalt.cfm?newsid=1702 1702 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:04:00 GMT At the VDI conference in Mannheim this year, EMS-GRIVORY is presenting its contribution towards reduction of CO2 levels. On the one hand with highperformance plastics which are very similar to metals and which have been used for many years now to help reduce CO2 emissions from road traffic, but topics will also include biopolymers and manufacturing using process steam from a biomass power station. http://www.emsgrivory.com/ext_newsinhalt.cfm?newsid=1693 1693 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:22:00 GMT EMS-CHEMIE AG, and especially the business area Performance Polymers, believe in renewable energy and have been successful in achieving a sustainable reduction in CO2 emissions of more than 80 % at the production site in Domat/Ems. http://www.emsgrivory.com/ext_newsinhalt.cfm?newsid=1684 1684 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:49:00 GMT New street name has been assigned to EMS-CHEMIE AG. With long glass-fibre reinforced Grivory GVL, a new material is entering the market which is unfazed by both water uptake and high temperatures. Grivory GVL opens up new possibilities for the light-weight design of dynamically stressed components. http://www.emsgrivory.com/ext_newsinhalt.cfm?newsid=1679 1679 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:59:00 GMT The polyphthalamide Grivory HT3 stands out among high-temperature polyamides above all due to its absorption of moisture, flame protection and its good processability. When used in the fields of electro and electronics it becomes clear: Grivory HT3 is in top shape. http://www.emsgrivory.com/ext_newsinhalt.cfm?newsid=1673 1673 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:19:00 GMT Compared to conventionally filled thermoplastics, the new Grilamid LVL products show 50% higher tensile strength. Moisture has practically no effect on these products, thus allowing the manufacture of extremely precise, dimensionally accurate components. http://www.emsgrivory.com/ext_newsinhalt.cfm?newsid=1671 1671 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:05:00 GMT Due its toughness and resistance to chemicals and hydrolysis, Grilamid polyamide 12 is an exceptionally well suited material for the manufacture of technically challenging components. With the new Grilamid PA12 products in the “FWA” series from EMS-GRIVORY, designers have been provided for the first time with PA12 materials holding a variety of approvals for applications involving contact with foodstuffs and drinking water. http://www.emsgrivory.com/ext_newsinhalt.cfm?newsid=1666 1666 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:41:00 GMT Amorphous thermoplastic materials exhibit excellent transparency. On the other hand, these materials tend to show little resistance to stress cracking and have low flexural fatigue strength. Combination of these properties is however, not doomed to fail. It is made possible by the product family Grilamid TR, which provides a wide assortment ranging from flexible to rigid materials and enables practically indestructible plastic applications to be achieved satisfying the highest requirements. http://www.emsgrivory.com/ext_newsinhalt.cfm?newsid=1664 1664 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:50:00 GMT Grilon BGZ FC – fast flowing, high impact strength polyamide 6 for ambitious thin-walled applications http://www.emsgrivory.com/ext_newsinhalt.cfm?newsid=1644 1644 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:19:00 GMT
