The Dutch chemicals group DSM Engineering Materials is presenting a sustainable version of its well-known product Stanyl. The alipathic high-temperature polyamide is characterized by its good flow and processing properties and high resistance to wear and friction.
Accordingly, it is used in the automotive, electronics, electrical and consumer goods industries and is used for USB connectors, gears for automotive and industrial actuators, timing chains for the drive train and conveyor belts with food contact, among other things.
According to DSM, the revised product called Stanyl B-MB (Bio-based Mass Balanced) is made from up to 100% biomass waste, is ISCC+-certified and offers the same performance, quality and properties as the original. Compared to Stanyl, which is based on fossil raw materials, 3.3 tons ofCO2 are saved per ton produced. This would be equivalent to theCO2 consumption generated by charging 420,000 smartphones. TheCO2 footprint of the product line would therefore be halved. Accordingly, customers who use Stanyl P-MB for their products could significantly improve theircarbon footprint.
