Clariant helps designers find a problem-solving material
Specialty compound for power distribution box on trucks and buses
Minimizes 'swirling' appearance typical of impact-modified nylon 66
Muttenz, March 26, 2014 - Clariant, a world leader in Specialty Chemicals, today announced it is supplying a special Nylon 66 compound for a molded power distribution box manufactured by GEP Power Products, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. The company supplies standard and custom electrical components to some of the world?? leading manufacturers of trucks, buses and off-road vehicles. Brands like FreightLiner, Thomas, John Deere and International rely on GEP for cost effective products and custom engineered solutions that perform in harsh environments that are typical of transportation and outdoor power applications. When they needed a plastic material with superior low-temperature impact resistance and durability, good dimensional stability and uniform surface finish, they turned to Clariant Specialty Compounding.
"We were trying to develop an enclosure to protect an electrical fuse block," explains Jacek "Jack" Korczynski, GEP?? Vice President - Design Development. ??ecause this device is normally installed on the underside of large commercial vehicles, it can be subject to terrible abuse in extreme heat and cold. We test these boxes by freezing them to -40?C and firing ?-inch rocks and gravel at them, so we knew we needed a really tough plastic and asked Clariant for their recommendation."
"The problem with most toughened nylons," says Robert Wick, Clariant Specialty Compounding Product Manager, "is that they tend to develop a swirled or mottled surface during the injection-molding process as a side-effect of the impact modifying additives. This would be unacceptable to GEP and so we suggested RENOL? 6608LLT, an impact-modified nylon 66 that is formulated to minimize that effect."
Initial samples were a bit too flexible, Korczynski recalls, but this was overcome with some minor design changes that added stiffness and, today, after 18 months on the market, the GEP power-distribution box is meeting all performance expectations - even in off-road service on the frozen North Slope of Alaska.
GEP grew out of Precision Cable Assemblies, which started in business some 30 years ago, producing wire and cable for the automotive and truck industry. GEP was formed about 8 years ago to make and market other electrical products like the power-distribution box. ??e cater to the mid-market," explains Rich Horky, President. ??e??e structured to deliver the customization and rapid-product development that larger competitors can?? provide. Our customers expect us to be innovative and responsive and we appreciate suppliers, like Clariant, that exhibit those same qualities."
Clariant Masterbatches' specialty compounding business is structured to formulate and compound a wide-range of engineering grade thermoplastic resins, reinforcements and additives, in a wide variety of colors, to meet demanding application requirements for companies like GEP Power Products. Clariant specialty compounding experts draw on decades of experience with resins, colorants and additives to deliver an ideal solution, whether it is a standard product or a custom compound formulated to meet unique application requirements.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
