We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "DSM",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Polyamide is compatible with lead-free soldering from
DSM Engineering Plastics, which we summarised at the time by saying "A polyamide offers dimensional stability, compatibility with lead free soldering, high stiffness and mechanical strength at elevated temperatures and excellent
processability".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release High performance plastics work under the hood from
DSM Engineering Plastics: "A high performance grade of engineering plastics is formulated for under the bonnet applications and offers a revolutionary improvement in long term thermal stability up to 230 deg C".
In July 2007, we covered the news from DSM Engineering Plastics
concerning its High Flow and High Productivity resins
- take a look at Resin development lowers moulding costs
which says: "Compared with existing, standard resins, a product shortens production cycles in injection moulding and packaging to lower costs per part".
Take a look also at the news release from DSM Somos, Resin expands SL into rapid manufacturing,
as well as Engineering plastics improve characteristics from DSM Engineering Plastics,
and US plastics maker acquired by petrochemicals firm from Sabic Innovative Plastics.
