NOVA
Chemicals' DYLARK
S/MA is a preferred resin of plastics
designers, engineers
and processors for automotive applications.
DYLARK is specified for its high-tensile
and flexural strength,
lot-to-lot consistency and physical properties. |
Feedstocks...Who
can predict?
Feedstocks
for NOVA Chemicals' styrenic polymers are based on crude oil and
natural gas. Benzene is derived from the fractional distillation of
crude oil and ethylene primarily from natural gas. |
Step-out
Technology for Virtual Airbag Deployment
NOVA
Chemicals initiated a virtual airbag deployment project to advance
the predictive capabilities of computer-aided engineering (CAE), as
it applies to instrument panel (IP) substrate material
performance. |
New Automotive
Applications
NOVA
Chemicals' DYLARK is a preferred resin for soft-feel instrument
panel assemblies. In addition, NOVA Chemicals' engineering team
continues to develop new applications and penetrate automotive
segments. |
History of
DYLARK
Engineering Resins
DYLARK
styrene Maleic Anhydride (S/MA) copolymers were developed in late
sixties.
The resins exhibited high heat resistance compared to
polystyrene, high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), Acrylonitrile Butadiene
Styrene (ABS) and Styrene Acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN).
