DOMO Chemicals showcases innovative solutions at Plastivision 2020

OMO Chemicals is well established in Europe and process industries, where polymer composites are being
Dgrowing fast in the US and Asia. At Plastivision 2020 developed to replace metal. This segment is mainly
in Mumbai, India (16-20 January), DOMO will showcase solutions-driven, involving integrated application design
its innovative solutions, including the new DOMAMID and along with dedicated polymer materials and selected
THERMEC ranges. DOMO offers its global customers a full additives, fillers and reinforcements.”Another new
addition to the portfolio is the DOMAMID IM range designed
for cable sheathing. With these products DOMO offers a
cost-effective solution to replace expensive PA12 – the
most commonly used material in this end market.
New solutions have also been developed for automotive
applications to protect electronic equipment in interior,
exterior and under-the-bonnet parts.
DOMO has developed a complete range of thermally and
electrically conductive grades based on PA6, PA66 and
PPS. A sustainable alternative based on secondary raw
materials that combines excellent mechanical properties
range of technical polymers primarily based on PA6, PA66, and electrical conductivity, but also a significantly reduced
PPA and PPS. The company serves the Indian sub-continent production environmental impact, is available under the

ENGEL’s reactive unit now available in two sizes

NGEL has developed a reactive unit specifically for the
Epreparation and injection of Caprolactam, with ENGEL
further optimising its solution with a new, smaller size.
The new size helps ENGEL cover an even wider range of
applications, meaning it can support its customers from
product and process development, through scale-up to
series production. The new smaller reactive unit is able to
handle matrix volumes between ten and 600 cm3, offering
flexibility within testing facilities in the production of test
parts, specimens, and parts up to weights of one and a
half kilograms. The second, larger unit can produce matrix
volumes of up to 1500cm3. Both units are compact and
can integrate the complete media supply and reduce the
footprint required for the entire system.
