Solvay, a leading global supplier of specialty polymers, has added data relative to new advanced Amodel® polyphthalamide (PPA), Ryton® polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and KetaSpire® polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer grades to the Digimat-MX database tool of Digimat software from e-Xstream engineering, an MSC Software Company, to store anisotropic measurements and related micromechanical models. 

The array of Solvay’s materials added to Digimat-MX are: 

Three grades of Amodel® PPA - AS-4133HS, DW-1140 and DW-1150. The AS-4133HS grade, mainly for automotive applications, is 33 percent glass fiber reinforced, lubricated and heat stabilized which allows fast cycle times and moldability in hot water conditioned molds. The DW-1140 and DW-1150 grades are both approved for potable water contact in the USA, France, Germany and the UK. They are respectively 40 and 50 percent glass fiber reinforced and are designed for high strength and stiffness. They also present good hydrolytic stability and excellent dimensional stability due to a combination of low water absorption and low coefficient of thermal expansion.

Three glass fiber and mineral filled Ryton® PPS grades - R7-120, R7-190 and R7-220. In addition, Ryton® PPS R-4-200BL has been updated to meet specific customer temperature properties. Solvay’s Ryton® PPS family offers a unique combination of properties and a cost/performance balance unmatched by many other engineering thermoplastics and include thermal stability, dimensional stability, chemical resistance and inherent flame retardancy.

KetaSpire® PEEK - KT-880 CF30 - a 30 percent carbon fiber reinforced grade which provides an outstanding level of mechanical performance even at temperatures approaching 300°C and one of the lowest coefficients of thermal expansion. It also offers excellent wear resistance, fatigue resistance and chemical resistance to organics, acids and bases.
