Key features: Best-in-class PPA for water/glycol resistance- ForTii® MX15HR - No Compromises on Cooling Applications
Modern engine downsizing trends put high demands on automotive systems and its components. For the engine to perform as e_x001D_ cient as possible, its temperature needs to be controlled to a high degree. Such temperature control of the engine can result in CO2 savings up to 4%, a reason for OEM’s to focus on development and optimization of these systems.
Systems such as thermostats, and more recently thermal management modules found in the modern combustion engines, provide this temperature regulating function. These
components consist of plastic-made housings required to sustain significant long-term mechanical loads as well as being resistant to chemical attacks from the coolant (waterglycol).
In case of EV’s (Electric Vehicle), the temperature control (i.e. of the battery system) is also of paramount importance, both for efficiency and safety reasons. Waterglycol is offen used as cooling medium. Plastic components that carry the water-glycol in these systems need to offer properties required to cope with the long-term exposure to this medium. DSM offers several material solutions which meet these requirements, such as Xytron®PPS and recently ForTii® MX15HR, a PPA (polyphthalamide), based on Envalior's PA4T chemistry.MX15HR is the only PPA that gives the optimum balance in stiffness, strength and impact resistance afer exposure to coolant medium (water-glycol) over the lifetime.
ForTii® MX15HR Key benefits Your system benefits Up to 30% higher strength at 120°C vs PPA competition Weight and cost reduction Up to 40% higher stiffness at 120°C vs PPA competition Weight and cost reduction Resistant to chemical attacks from the coolant (water-glycol) Durability Excellent creep resistance Leak resistance The result: Envalior's semi-aromatic polyamide ForTii® MX15HR is the perfect solution for automotive cooling components such as thermostat housings, valves and hose barbs. ForTii® allows for optimum weight designs without limitation in mechanical performance profile, especially in the presence of moisture (water-glycol) if the material is exposed directly to the fluid.

• +30% burst pressure @1000C
• +20% charpy notched impactThe ForTii® metal replacement (MX) portfolio contains semiaromatic polyamides, based on Envalior's PA4T technology, enabling you to engineer the incredible, by thinking beyond
metal and beyond its traditional alternatives. ForTii® is tested extensively in parts, since testing of tensile bars does often not represent the part complexity (ribs, weldines, inserts) in the real world.- Dynamic Tensile Modulus (E)-Temperature (dry)

- ForTii® MX15HR – is Outperforming Existing Solutions
Vs. PA66:
ForTii® MX15HR allows an optimum weight design due to the limitation in mechanical performance profile of the aliphatic materials like PA66, especially in the presence of moisture (water-glycol) as the material is exposed directly to the fluid. Chemical degradation does not pose an issue.Mechanical properties of ForTii® MX15HR
Stiffness of ForTii® MX15HR compared to its PPA-based competitor currently serving as industrial benchmark for water-glycol carrying components
Strength of ForTii® MX15HR compared to PPA-based competition
More chemically stable materials such as PPS are found as well in these type applications, reason being superior chemical resistance against long-term exposure to water-glycol and dimensional stability required to prevent possible leakage of the coolant (no moisture uptake). In some cases, however, ductile properties such as strain at break are critical for the application whereas stiffness, strength and chemical resistance should not be compromised. PPA-based polymers often provide a good
balance of stiffness, strength, ductility, chemical resistance and dimensional stability, and are therefore also widely used in these applications.About the technology
The new ForTii® MX15HR is a 35% glass-reinforced semi-aromatic polymer based on PA4T-chemistry offers the above mentioned advantages. It delivers an optimum in all relevant properties: stiffness, strength, ductility, water-glycol resistance and processing.Vs. PPS:
