DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY (Dec. 18, 5:25 p.m. EST) — Lanxess AG debuted at K 2007 in Dusseldorf a new grade of highly reinforced Pocan-brand polybutylene terephthalate and a new softer grade of Durethan-brand nylon 6.
Lanxess, based in Leverkusen, Germany, seeks to place the 60 percent glass-filled PBT in hinges, structural components and end shields for car generators. The soft nylon 6 should find a home in air tubes with integrated bellows.
The show was held Oct. 24-31.
