Start with DuPont

a partnership that works
Today you need more from your suppliers than just materials. You need
a resource that is willing and able
to join in at the earliest stages of the
product development process. One
that can carry a project from concept
through design, component analysis,
material selection, prototyping, testing, quality control, and even commercialisation. You need a fully fledged partner.
DuPont can be that partner. We believe that true partnership is a dynamic process of teamwork and sharing.
And we recognise that only through
your continued success will our relationship thrive, to bring out the best
in both of us.
If you let our people work with your
people from the initial design concept,
and on through every stage from prototyping to full production, we can
share our unrivalled experience, and
help you choose the optimum engineering polymer for your needs. The
result? A very competitive new product with time-proven success built in.
DuPont engineering polymers offer
you the properties and benefits so
important to giving your products that
extra competitive edge: lightweight
materials for lightweight parts and
components; resistance to corrosion
and abrasion; self-lubrication; reduced
moulding costs; integral colour; reduced finishing time; easier assembly,
and greater customer satisfaction. All
these advantages add up to new
opportunities in design, manufacture
and finished part cost.
We wrote the book on engineering
polymers. Nylon, which we invented
back in the 1930s, led to the development of ZYTEL, the first real engineering thermoplastic.
Our family of high performance

polymers grew rapidly as we added
DELRIN acetal, glass-reinforced ZYTEL,
MINLON mineral reinforced nylon
resin, ZYTEL ST super tough nylon and
RYNITE PET thermoplastic polyester.
More recently, we added a complete
range of PBT polyesters known as
CRASTIN PBT. Today we offer the
broadest range of semi-crystalline
engineering polymers available from
a single supplier, and they all offer
new possibilities for the replacement
of traditional materials such as metal
and wood, as well as better alternatives to many other plastics.
The most recent introductions include
ZENITE LCP liquid crystal polymers and
ZYTEL HTN high performance polyamide resins. In both cases, a standard
range of grades has been commercialised and many new developmental grades are being tested for customer approval.
In today's competitive markets, each

new product launch seems to require
more and more investment. So it pays,
at the earliest stage, to take full advantage of the latest developments in
engineering polymers by starting with
DuPont and calling us in at the initial
concept stage. More than just selling
polymers, we share with you a world
of practical experience and technological know-how that can help you build a
real competitive advantage into everything you design and manufacture.
This brochure contains a great deal
of information, but it is by no means
complete. For more detailed data, contact your local DuPont representative.
Around the world, research in DuPont

technical centres and production plants
never stops. Following the commercialisation of super tough and toughened resins with the DELRIN and
ZYTEL product offerings, our most
recent introduction is DELRIN P, an
acetal with new stabilisation technology, resulting in very good processing performance, even under critical
operating conditions.
Backing this extensive line of plastics
is HYTREL thermoplastic polyester
elastomer. HYTREL combines many
of the most desirable characteristics
of high performance elastomers and
flexible plastics, yet it can be formed
into quality parts by conventional
thermoplastic processing techniques.

CRASTIN PBT a highly versatile family

of thermoplastic polyesters with a wide
variety of applications
DuPont CRASTIN PBT thermoplastic polyesters are based on polybutylene terephthalate.

By making physical and technical modifications, a very wide range
of products is available that are ideally suited to an enormous variety of industrial applications, including electronics, electrical, automotive, mechanical engineering, chemical and apparatus engineering, domestic and medical appliances and sporting goods. In fact,
this growing family is currently available in over 30 different grades,
approximately half of which are flame retardant.
Among the many features of various CRASTIN PBT grades are mechanical and physical properties of stiffness and toughness, heat
resistance, friction and wear resistance, excellent surface finishes
and good colourability. They have excellent electrical insulation
characteristics and high arc-resistant grades are available.
Processing is simple, with good flow properties leading to short
cycle times using standard injection moulding machines. Postmoulding operations such as welding, fastening and glueing are
also easy, as are printing, painting, hot stamping and laser marking.
All-in-all, the DuPont CRASTIN PBT range spells versatility, processing ease and good economics.
1. The inner and outer housing of this

device are moulded of CRASTIN, all
4 parts are assembled with snap-fits.
For this consumer product, DuPont
PBT combines the following: good
mechanical properties, stiffness, resistance to usual bathroom chemicals
and temperature resistance. It has
good mould flow-characteristics, an
important consideration for a highprecision moulding on which sensitive electronic components are
mounted.
2. CRASTIN PBT with high tracking resistance, replaced epoxy in automotive ignition distributor caps because
of its excellent moulding properties.
Such high-voltage applications require
optimal dielectric performance as well
as excellent thermal resistance and
dimensional stability.
3. CRASTIN is used for door handles
for automotive applications. It is a 30%
glass fibre reinforced PBT that provides excellent mechanical properties
and UV resistance.
4. Dimensional stability, chemical
and temperature resistance facilitated
KATKO in Finland to opt for CRASTIN
SK645FR for this load break switch. It
is a 30% glass-reinforced PBT meeting UL94 V0 requirements. Compared
to the traditionally used thermoset,
CRASTIN offers higher productivity, an
integrated design and significant cost
reductions.
5. CRASTIN FR grade that meets
UL94 V0 requirements was used for
these modular terminals. Providing
outstanding dielectric and precision
moulding properties, it permits highspeed data exchange with a reduce
number of terminal connections.
CRASTIN is resistant to chemicals and
humidity, it is an excellent electrical
insulator, has high arc resistance and
a high comparative tracking index.
6. Eurometers Ltd. uses CRASTIN PBT

for the main housing and the top cover for their E6 gas meter. DuPont PBT
is a good electrical insulator, withstands extremes of temperature,
resists to domestic chemicals and
has excellent dimensional stability. It
also gives an attractive surface finish,
which does not deteriorate with time.
Flow-tube assembly (foreground) is
made from DELRIN.

DELRINversatility in design,
moulding and performance
DELRIN acetal resin is a highly versatile engineering plastic with

metal-like properties. It offers outstanding strength, stiffness and
hardness, dimensional stability, fatigue, abrasion and solvent
resistance, is self-lubricating, and available in a variety of colours
and specialty grades.
Its superior mechanical properties compared with acetal copolymer help improve productivity and increase profitability. Its ability
to meet European regulations on food contact considerably
increases its potential, and because it can be moulded easily into
complex shapes with fast cycle times and rapid assembly techniques, production costs are lowered.
The product range includes UV resistant grades, resins for low
friction and wear, the DELRIN P series for optimum processing
for highly demanding operating conditions, as well as tough and
super tough grades.
DELRIN 100ST super tough is seven times tougher in notched Izod
and falling weight (Gardner type) testing than standard DELRIN at
23C. In impact fatigue tests, it is more resistant than toughened
polyester and polycarbonate.
With these new generations of versatile DELRIN acetals, you gain
new flexibility and freedom in designing all types of products for
all types of applications.
1. By making different parts from

various types of DELRIN, including
tough, lubricated and general purpose
grades, Brauns Spanish operation
has produced an efficient meat grinding accessory for the companys Minipimer hand mixer, which already
relies on DuPont polymers for other
components.
High mechanical strength, low coefficient of friction, food approval, and
special assembly techniques with
parts in DELRIN, have all contributed
to giving this appliance high performance at a reasonable price.
2. Excellent fuel resistance and its
ability to be moulded into complex
shapes make DELRIN an ideal material for this fuel swirl pot found in automotive petrol tanks.
3. DELRIN provides the right combination of stiffness, toughness, fatigue

and impact resistance needed for reliable gears in literally hundreds of different types of applications.
4. Car makers increasingly adopt
DELRIN to replace metal for loud
speakers. It brings good acoustic,
colourability, aesthetic, impact resistance. It is also easier to assemble,
does not need surface finishing as
plating and painting.
5. Ski and snow board bindings of

DELRIN look better because of the integral, moulded-in colours; they benefit from its low-temperature (40C)
impact resistance and low coefficient
of friction, and last longer because
they wont corrode.
6. DELRIN 100 is ideal for automotive
door locks as it allows for extensive
functional integration due to its unmatched combination of stiffness and
toughness.
7. DELRIN-KEVLAR eliminates metal

machining, tooling and lubrication processes. It provides dimensional stability, toughness, abrasion resistance
and a smooth, aesthetic surface for
applications such as conveyor belt
systems.
If you need even more versatility,

look to HYTREL a thermoplastic
and an elastomer all in one
HYTREL thermoplastic polyester elastomers provide a winning

combination for many parts and components. They give the flexibility of rubbers, the strength of plastics, and the processibility of
thermoplastics. They can be processed easily on conventional
injection, blow and rotational moulding equipment, and can also
be extruded and melt-cast.
HYTREL is ideal for parts requiring low flex fatigue and high loadbearing capacity. It is strongly resistant to tearing, flex-cut growth,
creep and abrasion. Its mechanical properties provide the strength
and stiffness you need, in addition to outstanding toughness. Its
chemical properties make it highly resistant to hydrocarbons and
many other fluids.
HYTREL retains these properties at temperatures from 40C to
+110C, and even up to +150C with additional heat stabilisers.
HYTREL standard grades are available in a full range of Shore D
hardnesses from 35 to 82, as well as high performance grades
with hardnesses of 30D and 72D. Special grades include heat
stabilised, flame retardant, food approved, glass-reinforced, blow
moulding and extrusion grades. Concentrates offered include black
pigments, UV protection additives, hydrolysis resistant additives,
heat stabilisers, and flame retardants.
If you have multi-part or multi-material components that could be
made simpler or operate more efficiently with HYTREL we invite
you to learn more about this unique thermoplastic elastomer.
1. HYTREL in Airbag Deployment Door

application offers a unique consistency of physical properties over a wide
range of temperature, it can be used
in extreme low temperature environments and withstands the automotive
interior requirements including UV,
aestetics.
2. Flexibility in design, increased stiffness without adding weight or thickness, and an impeccable performance
at all temperatures was reason enough
for the people at Salomon to choose
HYTREL for the energy spring of their
in-line skate.
3. HYTREL proved to be the answer
for the interior door handle in the restyled SEAT Toledo. Besides a nice,
soft touch and matt surface, SEAT
was looking for very specific mechanical and chemical properties. The possibility of moulding the DuPont elastomer in a tool that was designed for
the previously used acetal copolymer
meant a significant cost saving, as
HYTREL has similar mould shrinkage.
4. The Suehiro Industry Co. Ltd knows
all about zapping. Their change to
HYTREL, from the traditional silicone
rubber for keypads of remote controls
resulted in shorter production cycles,
increased design flexibility and an ideal
feel. An altogether superior class
of product is how Suehiros development manager describes HYTREL.
5. Using HYTREL, Paguag developed
a range of flexible coupling with longer service life, greater reliability and
better performance. HYTREL has very
good resistance to synthetic oil, water,
grease, ozone and many other chemicals. It also has excellent resistance
to flex fatigue and crack propagation
and maintains these properties over
a wide range of temperatures.
6. The HYTREL HTR8105 BK in CVJ
boots put an end to a very costly and
complicated repair in case of failure
during the life of the car. These CVJ
boots for the Ford Mondeo moulded
by ContiTech in Germany, are extremely cost-effective compared to their
rubber counterparts, and offer superior
toughness and resistance to greases.
7. Another HYTREL application in

automotive components is the blowmoulded air-duct made of HYTREL
HTR4275 BK. VW has adopted this
innovative technology and benefits
for noise reduction, light weight and
an overall reduction of the number of
parts in the engine compartment, due
to its multi-functionality.
By using these parts, engine performance can be improved by as much as 2%.
Impact resistance, dimensional stability

and outstanding functional flexibility make
MINLON the choice for critical components
The MINLON range of mineral and mineral/glass-reinforced nylons

offers a unique balance of properties that allows designers to
maintain the optimum balance of strength and rigidity, while minimising the effects of warpage.
A major benefit of MINLON is its dimensional stability low warpage
and distorsion. This is due to the fact that its shrinkage is isotropic
even over varying wall thicknesses within the same application.
DuPonts experience in the area of mineral-reinforced nylons has
led to the development of a wide range of compositions tailored
for a variety of demanding applications. Mineral-reinforced resins
for automotive wheel covers feature an excellent surface for
painting, together with easy flow, fast cycle times, fatigue resistance and resistance to repeated high impacts.
For under-bonnet applications such as engine styling covers,
where a combination of low warpage and excellent surface finish
is required, a range of mineral or mineral/glass-reinforced resins,
based on PA6 and PA66, have been developed.
Even for the most demanding under-bonnet applications, MINLON
grades featuring a specially-developed glass and mineral combination and a nylon 66 matrix provide the ultimate combination of
strength, stiffness and creep resistance at elevated temperatures.
Resistance to hot oil and hot air ageing, combined with precision
moulding and low warpage are additional benefits.
10
1. MINLON has established itself as

the leading material for automotive
wheel covers. Mineral-reinforced,
impact-modified products such as
MINLON 13MM and EFE6096 are
optimised to provide the needed balance of properties for the application.
VW, Peugeot, Citron, Renault, Volvo,
Audi and Honda are among the many
car manufacturers around the world
who use DuPont MINLON resins for
wheel covers.
2. MINLON is used for automotive
rocker covers because it provide high
stiffness, heat stability, oil and chemical resistance, while weighing less
than the metal it replaces. BMWs
rocker cover of MINLON helps reduce
engine noise still further and cuts production costs.
3. MINLON was chosen for car interior door handles for its mechanical
properties and dimensional stability.
The very smooth surface of MINLON
allows chrome-plating with very high
blemish free quality.
4. The worlds first plastic throttle
body is part of an air intake manifold
from Rover and is made from MINLON.
High stiffness and heat resistance,
outstanding dimensional stability and
uniform mould shrinkage was needed
for accurate dimensional control of the
throttle body bore.
5. The combination of toughness
and stiffness enables gears of high
dimensional precision to be moulded.
MINLON 11C140B is being successfully used in the automotive industry.
5

6. Easier assembly and lower costs

made MINLON 11C140 the material
of choice for motor brackets from
Switzerlands Maxon. Multi-functional
integration becomes a practical reality
thanks to the flexibility of design that
is made possible with MINLON.
7

7. If any application has to rely on

resistance to weather conditions and
temperature variations, it must be
street lighting. MINLON is used for the
housing of street lighting reflectors
by Gewiss in Italy. Easily processable,
MINLON 13T2, a toughened PA66,
30% mineral reinforced nylon, provides the housing with high stiffness,
low warpage and a perfect surface
aspect.
11
RYNITE
PET
takes the heat
When youre looking for the ultimate combination of stiffness,

temperature performance, maximum dimensional stability, and
a high gloss finish, RYNITE PET is the most cost-effective answer.
It unites the best properties of reinforced polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with easier processability to produce high performance
parts that can be moulded conventionally.
RYNITE is the only PET-based polyester system with the virtue of
rapid crystallization. It also has a 20C heat deflection advantage
over PBT. It can be processed over a broad temperature range.
And, because of its low water absorption, parts in RYNITE PET
maintain their properties and dimensional stability. This makes it
a prime candidate for the replacement of die-cast metals and thermosets in many demanding applications where stiffness, critical
tolerances and exterior finish are key requirements. The outstanding flow characteristics of RYNITE PET allow it to fill complex, thinwalled moulds with less injection pressure than is needed with
other resins. This is a particularly important advantage with miniature parts.
RYNITE FR530L, widely used in the electrical and electronic component industries, has a UL temperature index of +155C, among
the highest of all thermoplastic polyesters.
12
1. This induction hob from BSH Balay

is made of RYNITE, which was chosen
for its dimensional stability, stiffness
and good mouldability. The RYNITE
FR531 NC used by Balay was specially developed to support temperatures
of up to 200C.
2. RYNITE 545 was chosen for the
connector housing of this Bosch alternator because of the good combination of mechanical properties it offers.
In addition it has good thermal and
chemical resistance. It also permits
high productivity in multi-cavity moulds.
3. This encapsulated oscillating pump
for carpet cleaners employs two different grades of RYNITE: FR530 and
HP415. The Class F homologation of
these grades permit the use of this
pump for export to the USA. The possibility to laser print RYNITE avoids the
utilisation of more polluting solventbased marking systems.
4. The recent range of irons launched

by Braun is using a custom coloured,
heat stabilised RYNITE PET for the iron
skirt. RYNITE gives higher productivity
at lower total cost compared to the
thermoset which was used previously.
5. An earlier die-cast metal motor with
fan (left), and the re-designed unit in
RYNITE (right). The switch from metal
to plastics meant simpler manufacturing, weight reduction, fewer components and lower assembly costs, reduced stock inventory and improved
performance for a range of vacuum
cleaners from Electrolux.
5
4
6. Rear windshield wiper arms for

cars like the Fiat Punto are made
out of a RYNITE grade which is specifically developed for severe weathering conditions. Mechanical properties
like creep resistance, as well as superior surface appearance, are of major
importance in this application.

13
ZENITE LCP high heat resistance, and

dimensional stability for precision moulding
ZENITE LCP liquid crystal polymer resins are easily melt processible
and have a number of highly desirable properties that make them
especially suitable for precision electrical and electronic parts in
lighting, telecommunications, aerospace, automotive, fibre optics
and other advanced uses. Typical applications include connectors,
bobbins, relays, motor components, sockets, imaging and sensor
devices, ignition systems, etc.
The ZENITE LCP family features excellent dimensional stability and
creep resistance, especially at very high temperatures. When in a
molten state its molecules tend to align with the flow, providing
even greater strength in the flow direction; this also contributes
to its superior wide-temperature range.
The physical advantage of low thermal expansion and low mould
shrinkage-properties is further enhanced in thin-wall sections due
to even more pronounced molecular alignment. In addition these
resins are highly resistant to many chemicals, including concentrated acids, bases and hydrocarbons. They also display outstanding fatigue resistance and high dielectric strength performance
over a very wide temperature range.
14
1. Because of its toughness and mechanical strength over a broad temperature range, ZENITE 6130 liquid
crystal polymers as found in compact
coil forms, offer United Technical Products Inc. board assembly advantages
and result in excellent pin retention.
Its suitability for precision moulding
in thin sections allows board space
saving at equal winding space. The
material is UL94 V0 recognized.
2. Injection moulded microminiature

surface-mount Conan connectors,
used in portable phones and computers, are a classic case for ZENITE. High
thermal stability, precision surfaces and
strength in thin walls are crucial factors
in the field of micro-electronics.
3. The qualities of ZENITE permit these
bobbin assemblies to obtain increased
winding space, excellent pin positioning and to withstand SMT soldering
processes.
4. In the miniature world of Littelfuse

Inc., ZENITE LCP is welcomed for use
in holders for ceramic fuses and for
the encapsulation of glass fuses. It
allows assembly by infrared and other
soldering processes. The strength of
the material is put to the test every
time a fuse has to be replaced; a test
successfully passed with ZENITE.
5. ZENITE can also be perfectly and
easily metallised. For this reason, this
lamp socket, made by VLM, is moulded in ZENITE, with a very high temperature resistance as a result. Extra
high thermal resistance LCP replaces
other high temperature polymers,
which sometimes melt under these
extreme conditions.
6. The market trend is to design smaller antifog lamps with more powerful
bulbs, hence the temperature reached inside the housing has dramatically increased. ZENITE 6330 BK was
selected for its excellent heat resistance, no out-gassing, and good surface appearance.
15
Theres always something new

in todays ZYTEL
Since DuPont introduced the first nylon materials nearly 70 years

ago, ZYTEL has become the worlds largest selling nylon resin.
Today we offer a wide range of unreinforced nylons, providing the
right choice for every market need; designers can choose just the
right balance of properties to do the job in the most cost-effective
way.
ZYTEL resists hostile environments. It can withstand high temperatures and can be modified to meet tough impact conditions.
Its electrical insulation characteristics, UL flammability rating, and
ability to be coloured are among the other important benefits
it offers.
ZYTEL resins are designed for high productivity. They provide excellent flow properties, reduced moulding cycles, and fast mould
release. This can mean appreciable gains in productivity, resulting
in more saleable parts per hour.
16
1. These cable straps moulded in

unreinforced ZYTEL have good flex
strength and creep resistance, and
a UL94 V2 rating. ZYTEL allows easy
filling of complex mould cavities,
resulting in fast moulding cycles.
2. The Rover 25 Diesel fuel swirl pot
is manufactured from an unreinforced
heat stabilised ZYTEL variant. The
product was chosen due to the ability
of the grade to resist contact with
Diesel fuel and elevated temperatures.
3. The body and actuators of these

switches are moulded in an unreinforced ZYTEL resin. The grade withstands the soldering temperatures,
meets the relevant flammability
requirements and also enables snap
fit features to be incorporated. The
moulding characteristics lead to fast
cycling and general ease of processing.
4. These aerosol valves moulded in
ZYTEL 135F allow fast cycling and
economical manufacturing. They
show excellent chemical resistance
and dimensional stability with a very
tight tolerance band. This make possible the continuous production of
high precision components.
5. Changing from die-cast zinc to
impact-modified ZYTEL 408 enabled
Global to improve their design, and
produce the only nylon castors with
the required combination of impact
and creep resistance to meet British
Standards for furniture.
6. ZYTEL 101F is used in this refrigerator lamp housing for its good elongation, UL94 V2 rating and excellent
surface glossiness. It is also unaffected by cleaning materials.
7. Cupboard hinges moulded in ZYTEL
135F allow fast cycling and economical manufacturing. They show excellent stiffness and toughness, as well
as resistance to creep and fatigue.
17
It starts tough it stays tough

its for your toughest jobs ZYTEL ST
Unlike most other engineering thermoplastics, super-tough

ZYTEL ST is insensitive to notching, meaning that it can take a lot
of punishment and stay in one piece. Scratches dont concentrate
stress and become weak points, parts keep their toughness, and
they dont become brittle at low temperatures. In fact, at 20C,
ZYTEL ST is tougher than most thermoplastics at room temperature.
ZYTEL ST is a nylon, so it has outstanding resistance to chemicals,
solvents, oils and greases.
Designers working with ZYTEL ST can specify intricate shapes,
varying thicknesses and tricky corners and know that moulders
can produce these parts easily and quickly.
And for an even broader range of application possibilities, talk to
us about some of the new ZYTEL ST resins. They include Super
Tough glass-reinforced compositions for extra strength, consistent

1. What takes more abuse than a

skateboard? A snakeboard, a new
double-jointed skateboard development that enables riders to perform
even more spectacular jumps and
spine-jarring manoeuvres. Plastic was
an obvious choice because of its fromthe-mould finish and colourability. But
finding one thats light, resilient and
very, very tough was less easy, and for
Clausen Plastics (Pty) Ltd, the choice
narrowed down to just one that met
all their requirements ZYTEL ST801
Super Tough nylon.
2. ZYTEL ST overcame production

problems posed by this Jaguar cooling fans aerodynamic and structural
requirements. Using ZYTEL ST cut
one third of the original steel fans
weight, and eliminated costly spot
welding.
3. High stiffness and impact resistance were the key criteria that led
Hilti AG of Liechtenstein to choose
DuPont ZYTEL resin for their unique
stand-off curtain-wall fasteners. This
DuPont nylon is suitable for use
between 40 C and 80 C, resists
weathering, has low humidity absorbtion plus excellent creep and stresscrack resistance.
4. Italian sport manufacturer MGM

chose ZYTEL for the plate system of
its new In-line roller/Ice skating shoe.
The excellent impact and abrasion
resistance of DuPont ST nylon easily
withstands all the knocks and scrapes
to which ice-skates and in-line rollers
are subjected.
5. ZYTEL ST replaced expensive
fabricated metal for a range of Gas
Cylinder Valve Guards produced by
Norton Plastics in the UK.
The guard protects the gas cylinder
valve from damage, which can occur
particularly when the cylinders are
accidentally dropped during transportation. The low temperature impact
resistance of ZYTEL ST is a key reason for using the product in this application, combined with the materials
ability to be easily injection moulded
and coloured.
6. Carbon canisters are devices incorporated into modern vehicles, which

help to minimise fuel emission levels.
They are often located low down in
the engine compartment, being exposed to flying road surface debris,
high temperatures, oil and fuel vapour.
Tennex (UK) have chosen to produce
a canister housing and lid in ZYTEL ST
which readily resists this highly demanding environment and provides
an excellent barrier to fuel vapour.

Dont settle for ordinary glass-reinforced

nylon move up to the extra performance
of glass-reinforced ZYTEL
For designers who need high strength, stiffness, and the highest
deflection temperatures, ordinary glass-reinforced thermoplastics
are not enough; for the really tough jobs, they need glass-reinforced ZYTEL the worlds top selling glass-reinforced nylon.
During formulation, we upgrade the base resins rigidity, tensile
strength, creep resistance, heat distortion temperature, low temperature impact strength, and dimensional stability by combining
it with selected glass fibres. The result is a range of products that
finds increasing use especially in car engine compartments,
where it is replacing metals and other plastics.
Fan wheels for freezer rooms, dishwasher pump housings and
typewriter daisy wheels are other applications proving the ability
of glass-reinforced ZYTEL to measure up to any challenge. The
possibilities of this material are virtually endless. Thats why it is
finding such a broad range of uses not only in the automotive
industry but also throughout the electrical, appliance and furniture industries.
20
1. Dolmar reduced the weight of its

former grinder-cutter by about 25%
by using ZYTEL for the housing and
the double-bottomed fuel tank. In this
application, DuPont nylons excellent
mechanical strength, balance of stiffness and toughness, high heat distortion temperature, good abrasion resistance and chemical resistance play
important roles.
2. Reducing complexity and improving cost-effectiveness are always high
on the agenda at Audi. Together with
DuPont and the system supplier
Mann+Hummel an air intake manifold,
using ZYTEL 70G35, ensured rigidity
and mechanical strength that the
manifold needs under extreme vibration loads at high temperatures.
3. The ability to resist fatigue in the

presence of pressurised antifreeze at
120C makes glassreinforced ZYTEL
the ideal material for radiator end
tanks.
4. Glass-reinforced, flame-retardant
ZYTEL has helped Braun design a
multifunctional coffee grinder motor
bracket with far fewer components
than the aluminium bracket it replaced.
ZYTEL complies with the arc tracking
and flammability requirements of
European and American specifications,
and provides all the stiffness and heat
resistance demanded by this application.
5. Glass-reinforced ZYTEL was chosen
for this circuit breaker made by Medex,
Spain. Its flame retardant properties
(GW960 at 3 mm), good surface
appearance, low warpage and high
tensile modulus are the main reasons
for selecting this flame retardant nylon.
3
4
6. ZYTEL is often used for automotive

rocker covers because it provides the
high stiffness, heat stability, oil and
chemical resistance required, while
weighing less than the metal it replaces.
7. A special glass reinforced, heatstabilized, hydrolysis resistant grade
of DuPont ZYTEL helped Grundfos
to develop new domestic circulator
pumps that are lighter than cast iron
pumps. ZYTEL also resists cleaning
fluids and other aggressive substances
found in domestic heating systems.
21
ZYTEL HTN the reliable high performance

polyamide resin for critical applications
ZYTEL HTN (high performance polyamide resin) features excellent

physical and electrical properties at the shorter-term elevated
temperatures encountered with SMT Surface Mount Technology
components, connectors, fuse holders and coil forms, etc. For
the automotive industry, ZYTEL HTNs resistance to lubricants, fuels,
salt, anti-freeze, transmission fluids, etc. makes it ideal for a broad
range of under-bonnet applications. The ZYTEL HTN range retains
its excellent physical and mechanical properties even in conditions
of high humidity and heat.
ZYTEL HTN displays outstanding high-temperature stability, strength,
toughness and low moisture absorption, making it the ideal material where performance reliability in tough conditions is paramount.
For long-term heat ageing applications, ZYTEL HTN glass-reinforced
outperforms PA66 products. It offers a unique combination of
high-temperature performance with improved dimensional stability, low creep, lower moisture absorption and higher chemical
resistance than conventional nylons.
22
1. Schupa-Elektro uses ZYTEL HTN in

its UP-PI protection switch because
this material resists deformation at
temperatures of up to 260 C, has
a maximum operating temperature
of 300 C for short periods and also
meets UL94 V0 flammability specifications.
2. Cooper Power Systems looked
at the performance of ZYTEL HTN in a
hot and humid environment for their
secondary bushings for pad-mounted
distribution transformers. In test, it
proved to have a higher heat deflection
temperature, better high-temperature
electrical strength and higher tensile
strength than the polymers commonly used in such electrical applications.
3. To prevent these spiders, or multifunctional armature insulators in windshield wiper motors, from burning or
melting in case of an overload (e.g.
frozen wipers), ITT Automotive chose
ZYTEL HTN to do the job. Injection
moulded, ZYTEL HTN insulators are
of a uniformly high quality that resists
extremely high temperatures. In the
production process, the material allows
a very high throughput and very low
scrap rates.
3
4. ZYTEL HTN was selected by WOCO

for the Mercedes Class A resonator
because of its high peak temperature
resistance and good heat ageing.
5. AMP chose ZYTEL HTN because it
is suitable for IR reflow soldering and
had good flow properties during the
moulding process.
6. The use of ZYTEL HTN has enabled
a fan to be designed with excellent
air circulation and extremely low
noise by taking advantage of ZYTEL
HTN low warpage, dimensional stability and property retention at high
temperatures.

1) The glass transition temperatures are based on the onset of loss in modulus as measured by the Dynamic
Mechanical Analysis (DMA) Method.
2) The Accelerated Creep was based on DMA to measure short-therm creep conducted at constant load and
at various elevated temperatures. These data were then superimposed to form a Master Curve, from
which the long-term creep behaviour is estimated. Annealed sample were used for the test specimens.
