New range complements existing PEEK- and PAEK-based Ajedium^™ slot liner films for 400V and higher

Syensqo, formerly part of Solvay Group, has announced the extension of its Ajedium^™ Films offering for slot liners in electric motors to a range of polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU) based products developed to replace conventional paper slot liners in motors up to 400V.

“The challenge with many paper and paper laminate slot liners in medium to low-voltage e-motors is two-fold. High moisture sensitivity requires additional humidity management, and quite often they must be deducted in a secondary step after insertion to remove excess scrap. Our new Ajedium^™ PPSU slot liner films eliminate both of these issues, while also offering durable mechanical performance, including high stiffness to prevent breakage during assembly.”

BRIAN BALENO, HEAD OF AUTOMOTIVE MARKETING AT SYENSQO MATERIALS

In contrast to incumbent NKN (aramid paper and polyimide film) laminates, Ajedium^™ PPSU films can help manufacturers reduce the thickness of slot liners by more than 42%, which maximizes the possible copper slot fill. In addition, PPSU slot liners require less energy throughout the manufacturing process, and their carbon footprint can be further reduced with optional grades using ISCC Plus mass balance certified circular feedstock.

The extended Ajedium^™ slot liner films portfolio underscores Syensqo’s leading role as an innovator in this market segment, responding to a growing trend towards greater sustainability and energy efficiency. The company is now offering advanced slot liner material solutions across the entire power range from below 400V to above 800V.

Syensqo will introduce the new Ajedium^™ PPSU slot liner films from May 14 to 16, 2024, during the global Coil Winding, Insulation & Electrical Manufacturing Exhibition (CWIEME) in Berlin at Booth 42F27. 

Syensqo introduces AeroPaste® 1003: an innovative two-part room-temperature paste increasing efficiency for aerospace manufacturers

Syensqo to showcase its research and material solutions at SAMPE Long Beach 2024

Syensqo is launching AeroPaste^® 1003, a new grade of its epoxy-based structural paste adhesives which already includes AeroPaste^® 1006 and 1100. This aerospace adhesive will not only increase part assembly efficiency but also offers great processing flexibility, making it ideal for targeted high production rates in markets such as Advanced Air Mobility, Commercial Aerospace and Defense. 

AeroPaste^® 1003 is designed for structural bonding of metallic and composite parts, rapid assembly, repair applications and is suitable for out of autoclave. It has excellent high temperature strength performance, and is easy to mix with controlled flow properties to allow for easy dispensing. It provides film-like properties and performance, comparable or superior to leading film adhesives currently on the market. 

AeroPaste^® 1003 can be used in automated processes supporting industrialization requirements in the aerospace industry by increasing manufacturers’ efficiency and output thanks to its fast and easy application. 

“Syensqo’s long standing leadership in the development of aerospace adhesive technologies has led us to develop the next-generation of paste adhesives that meet the industry’s need for higher rate assembly and joining. Initial feedback from customers is very promising and we look forward to introducing AeroPaste^® 1003 at SAMPE Long Beach 2024.”

DR. STEPHEN HEINZ, VICE PRESIDENT OF RESEARCH AND INNOVATION OF SYENSQO’S COMPOSITE MATERIALS BUSINESS

Dr. Heinz will also deliver the keynote speech at SAMPE Long Beach 2024 providing thought leadership on how the Materials & Process (M&P) community can best prepare to support future innovations within the aerospace and defense industries.

In addition, Syensqo’s original research and advanced material solutions will be featured in three technical presentations at the show:

• Syensqo Product Development Scientist Dr. Rhys Tapper will present on SolvaLite® 716FR, a rapid curing epoxy prepreg system, designed to meet the thermal needs for electric vehicle battery enclosures. 
• Syensqo research partner Dr. Salma El Euch of Centre Technologique en Aérospatiale (CTA) will present new insights into the rheological, thermal-chemical and compaction properties of the 2x2 twill weave of CYCOM^® EP2750.
• Dr. Goran Fernlund of Convergent Manufacturing Technologies will present an enhanced machine learning approach for fitting cure kinetics models to dynamic scanning data (DSC) using the high performance epoxy matrix CYCOM^® EP2190.

Finally, as main sponsors and partners of the show’s presentation theater, Syensqo will share updates on its high performance and lightweighting technologies for space and defense and offer a deep dive in its adhesive portfolio and its hot compression molding solutions.
