ŠKODA AUTO

opens door for SAX Polymers

ŠKODA AUTO as part of Volkswagen AG with its more than 800.000 cars per year production counts on SAXAMID™ for their latest door panels.

The strong and robust SAXAMID™ 126F2K4 made by the Austrian/Swiss compound manufacturer SAX Polymers impresses with its precious surface structure and makes it an outperforming solution for this heavily used part of the car interior.

.

LUKOV Plast spol. s r.o., one of Czech Republic’s leading manufacturers of automotive parts consciously decided for SAXAMID™ to realize this part.

.

Semi-crystalline engineering polymers are offering strength and toughness as well as high chemical resistance against organic solvents and mineral lubricants. Polyamide compounds are combining good properties with easy processing and are a perfect base for further modification with a variety of additives to meet the demanding requirements of today’s car manufacturing.

.

SAXAMID™ 126F2K4 colored in satin black was developed to convince with its surface quality, color fastness and its noble gloss and effective shading. The combination from glass fiber and glass beads provide indispensable properties like dimensional stability during processing and during its full lifecycle when exposed to elevated temperatures inside the car. Being developed in close cooperation with the customer, the material meets the client’s and the end user’s exalted profile of requirement.

.

To ensure safety and wellbeing of the passengers, this polyamide meets the requirements of the VW 50180 harmonized standard for emissions: The evaporation of odor, formaldehyde and other organic substances with partly limited volatility as well as fogging are substantially below the limits defined in that norm.

.

The family owned distributor Plastoplan s.r.o. in Czech Republic supported the project from the very beginning to the final stage and with its own warehouses and personal available contact partners. For the commercial phase, Plastoplan provides customized logistics and continuous product availability.

.

With choosing SAX Polymers and the distribution partner Plastoplan s.r.o., LUKOV Plast spol. s r.o. found an outperforming partner for logistics, production, and technical support.

.

Pretty sure we will see even more clients deciding for ŠKODA AUTO in future.
