KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 14 (Bernama) -- The Polyplastics Group has launched a new electrically conductive grade of DURANEX (R) polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) for millimetre wave radar applications for the automotive industry.
According to Polyplastics in a statement, DURANEX (R) PBT 201EB provides the benefit of electromagnetic wave shielding as an added effect of electrical conductivity, therefore, the material contributes to reduced assembly work and cost cut.
In today's advanced driver assistance system, millimetre wave radar is a type of sensor that measures the distance, speed, and angle of objects such as approaching cars by sending and receiving radio waves (electromagnetic waves) in millimetre wave bands.
The market for millimetre wave radar is rapidly expanding due to increased use for periphery monitoring of vehicles, including on the rear side, thanks to its ability to accurately recognise distances and other parameters in inclement weather and at night.
Polyplastics, a global leader in the development and production of engineering thermoplastics, has worked to produce materials for millimetre wave radar applications through varied approaches.
The use of electrically conductive grades like DURANEX (R) PBT 201EB in radio wave absorbing materials can contribute to reduced processing costs for customers and greater design freedom.
DURANEX (R) PBT 201EB has the same PBT resin base composition as radomes, and it also bonds extremely well due to its double-shot molding capability.
Polyplastics is backed by a strong global network of research and development (R&D), production and sales resources capable of creating advanced solutions for an ever-changing global marketplace.
