Chemicals company Lanxess says that it plans to focus on developing composites for electric vehicles.
‘We want to show which advantages our polyamide and polyester compounds and our endless fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites offer, especially for components for the electric power train, but also for the infrastructure of electric mobility,’ said Jan Bender, head of marketing EMEA.
The company says that it expects the number of electric and electronic components in the automobile of the future to rise sharply. Lanxess company is also looking to replacing the currently expensive polyamide 66 with polyamide 6 and PBT compounds (polybutylene terephthalate).
