Extrusion International 5-2022

25 Extrusion International 5/2022 DURAFIDE ® PPS 1130A1 enables the use of laser welding for produc- tion of automotive electric compo- nents for which this method could not readily be used before. These parts include electric water pumps, shift actuators, electric-variable valve timing actuators, solenoid valves, and various sensors. Polyplastics is currently undertak- ing a development project to provide even better laser transmittance of PPS and further widen the processing window.
