DuPont launches new nylon products

A new family of nylon products from DuPont Performance Polymers - DuPont™ Zytel® PLUS nylon - delivers excellent performance levels and importantly maintains those excellent performance levels much longer than traditional nylons despite exposure to hot oil, hot air, calcium chloride and other aggressive automotive chemicals. The new family launches with four products primarily targeted at the automotive industry where the drive to take out weight and cost adds up to improved fuel economy and reduced carbon emissions. Additional products are planned for 2010. Whether exposed to calcium chloride or to 3,000 or 4,000 hours of hot air, hot oil, water, long-life coolant, members of the Zytel® PLUS nylon family outperform traditional nylon products on the market today, according to recent tests, which are available on line at www.zytelplus.dupont. com. Target automotive applications include: charge air coolers, exhaust mufflers, turbo air ducts, engine mounts, resonators, cylinder head covers, oil pans, EGR coolers, oil modules, thermostats, transmission components -- such as front covers -- and radiator end tanks where calcium chloride resistance is especially important due to road treatments. www.dupont.comNike Mercurial Superfly
