TECHNOLOGY COLLABORATIONS
Performance Plastics are playing a major role in the development of energy efficient automobiles, high performance consumer durables etc. Most such resins are produced at post polymerization stage by compounding of two or more commodity polymers alongwith reinforcing fibers and fillers.
In order to meet the growing demand of performance plastics, Tipco have entered into technology agreement with loading companies around the world to manufacture these products in India.
SUMITOMO MITSUI POLYOLEFIN INC, JAPAN
In 1997, Tipco tied up with Grand Polymers, Japan. Grand Polymers was
a joint venture of Mitsui Petrochemicals, Ube Industries and Polypropylene
Division of Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals.
In year 2002, Grand Polymers merged with Sumitomo Petrochemicals to form a global giant called Sumitomo-Mitsui Polyolefin Inc., Japan.
Sumitomo-Mitsui Polyolefin is now called PRIME POLYMERS and is engaged in the production, sales and technical service of Advanced Polypropylene Compounds. It is also is one of the largest supplier of Polypropylene and Polypropylene Compounds to automotive companies in Japan, such as Honda Motor Corp., Toyota Motors, Suzuki Motors, Mitsuibishi Motors, etc.
Polypropylene
Compounds offered by Tipco- Prime Polymer tie-up in India are suitable
for all major automotive components for many OEMs in India such as Honda
Siel, Maruti Udyog, Toyota Kirloskar, Tata Engineering, Bajaj Auto, Ford
India, Hyundai Motors India, etc.
Through this tie-up, Tipco has introduced in India, the latest generation Automotive PP Compounds with lower density, while keeping high Stiffness and Impact Strength. These Grades are highly suited for lowering the cost of existing components. These revolutionary PP compounds are now already in use in Inda with various Automobile OEMs :
| Dashboard | NPI 200 IN | Stiffness 2500 MPa ; Impact 400 J/m |
| Bumper 1 | TB 6J | Stiffness 1700 MPa ; Impact 500 J/m |
| Bumper 2 | X 408 IN | Stiffness 1450 MPa ; Impact 600 J/m |
| Interiors | ISRH 35 NF | Stiffness 2200 MPa ; Density 0.99 |
| Cowl Top | ISL 10 BX1 | Stiffness 2000 MPa ; Density 0.97 |
These new state-of-the-art PP Compounds will soon replace existing PP Compounds due to their high strength to density features which ultimately leads to lower part thickness and component cost reduction.
