SABIC Innovative Plastics portfolio of advanced specialty materials, jointly with the scientific expertise of its Fluid Engineering Center of Excellence in Bergen op Zoom, has launched water valves that can ensure a high level of efficiency, durability and performance.
The water valves have traditionally been made from metals such as brass due to their exposure to static or fluctuating pressure, high temperatures and various chemicals,.
However, todays engineering thermoplastics can replace metal, delivering not only high performance but also the benefit of enhanced design freedom.
Frank Heessels, leader for the Fluid Engineering Center of Excellence, stated, "SABIC Innovative Plastics has led the industry in leveraging the huge potential of engineering thermoplastics for fluid handling."
Heessels added, "To be certain that a resin can withstand the demanding environments that water valves are subjected to, long-term performance data is needed. Therefore, we made a major investment in the Fluid Engineering Center to ensure that our materials will deliver high performance over long life spans. Using our sophisticated testing and measurement technologies, we can assure customers that these materials will meet their toughest requirements."
